When Bulova introduced the Moon Watch I had to have one! The history behind this timepiece is amazing and Bulova did a fantastic job of reproducing a historical classic. Not only does it keep perfect time but looks great doing so. I wear mine on the mission strap and love the looks as do others who constantly compliment it. Great job Bulova, waiting patiently for the Chronograph C to come out!
My wife got this for me as a gift and I'm pretty impressed so far. It's styling is simple enough to wear with shorts and a t-shirt yet it is still fancy enough to wear with a suit and tie. I personally have very simple tastes and don't really go in for a lot of "bling" the Moon Watch is subdued enough that it doesn't "jump off of your wrist" but sophisticated enough to draw just a little bit of attention. I'm generally pretty hard on watches and from what I can tell so far this watch appears to be pretty durable. I like that it comes with two band options which is nice when you want to dress up or down. The nylon band is super comfortable, I haven't worn the leather band much yet so I'm not sure how that one will do but it appears to be high quality and it felt comfortable for the short period I have worn it. Overall I'm very pleased with the Moon Watch, I'm hopeful that it will stand up to a little bit of abuse as I will be my everyday wear watch. The black face is great as it the brushed finish on the case. The luminous dial is quite bright (I wish Bulova publish what type of luminescence they use, I'd be curious to know) and doesn't seem to fade over the course of the night.
I'm a watch enthusiast on a budget, and once I saw the Moon Watch on an Instagram post I had to have it. Between the look of it and the unique story behind the original model this felt like a special watch to have. I quickly went to look for reviews, even though I knew unless there was a giant red flag I would be ordering this guy. I was impressed with the presentation upon opening the box. Front and center, and looking better than any photo I'd seen, was the watch and it's extra strap. I took a couple minutes to just take it in. The watch has some definite heft to it, but not in an annoying way. I was a little worried it's 45mm size would be a bit much for my wrist, but I was happy to find it sat comfortably on the wrist, and I quickly got used to the larger size. I like the unique pushers for the chronograph functions, and the dial is so easy to read. Everything is clear and easily read with a quick glance. This is by far my favorite watch to wear, and on days where I'm not wearing it I find myself still taking a couple seconds to look at it.
When apollo Commander Scott's official government issue watch broke, he retrieved from the pocket of his space suit his personal Bulova Chronograph watch to complete the Apollo 15 mission. Little did he realize the historical significance of his actions. He created the only known personally owned watch to be worn on the moon. Bulova successful reissue of this historical time piece is a faithfulness recreation in both looks and feel with the added benefit of probably the most accurate propriatry movement available. It will make a stunning addition to any watch collectors collection.
