I have admired the Lunar Pilot for years. I would check it out online every few months watching for a good price. Over the last year I discovered how comfortable and versatile NATO straps are, so when I saw the Lunar Pilot offered on a NATO strap for such a low price I finally bought it. There are so many things to love about the Lunar Pilot. First, there is the history represented by this watch. Second, the accuracy of the 262.144 kHz quartz movement powering it (mine is running exactly on time after 1 month). Last the impeccable styling, from the placement of the sub-dials to the excellent visibility of the white on deep black color scheme. Honestly, the Lunar Pilot looks so much better in person, than the pictures show on the site. More specifically, this version has several features that make it superior to the previous (date) version for me. In no particular order: No date - Less really is more! The removal of the date window gives the watch dial back a cleaner, symmetrical, less cluttered look. Return to the older font - I really like the simpler font for the "BULOVA" name. The polished case - Wow, so nice to see a polished case in this world of bead blasted and brushed steel watches. It makes the watch look really classy and more expensive than it's price. The single pass nylon NATO strap is thick and well made. The second keeper could be placed closer to the primary, but it's a minor quibble for me. The only weak element is the lume, which could be brighter. Still, a real winner! Cool, cool, cool. Thanks Bulova
I was fascinated with Apollo in my youth. This was an opportunity to capture a memento of that era. Excellent watch looks much more expensive than its price The larger size is not an issue - The no-bezel appearance of the flat sapphire makes it look bigger than it wears. Flawless execution and ultra-accurate. This will be my reference piece to keep my automatic collection on time.
Great Watch, styling & functionality, at a Great price
Great watch. Excellent quality. Highly legible. Fit and finish is excellent. Had a problem with second hand alignment, easy adjustment. I contacted customer service they responded quickly. They emailed instructions, problem solved. Cool looking watch. Would definitely recommend.
