The blue panda version of the Bulova Lunar Pilot is as beautiful as it is functional. The high-accuracy movement is just that. The ability to quickly and easily switch from the bracelet to a blue leather NATO strap makes the watch versatile for either casual or dress use. The blue pushers give the watch a sleek, unique look not found on other chronographs. The textured dial is simply gorgeous. The history and heritage of the Lunar Pilot add to its value. Best of all, dealing with Bulova was a real pleasure. Not only did they give me a fantastic discount, but I also got free, two-day shipping and a perfectly sized bracelet. I've never had an easier online buying experience.
Bulova does it again with another well engineered watch. The detail on the dial, the time accuracy, and the comfortable stainless steel band makes this a masterpiece. The engineering is intricate with pleasing aesthetics. This Lunar Pilot has quiet elegance with a touch of ruggedness. I am able to wear the Lunar Pilot in multiple environments: casual, business, and formal. The versatility is superb.
WOW...Beautiful watch, Bracelet is nice and the leather band makes the watch so versatile. The 43 is perfect on my wrist...
The twelve o'clock large rectangle indices is slightly misaligned. It's closer to the 59 second mark than the 1 second mark making it impossible to align the chronometer seconds hand exactly in the middle. the 50 minute indices is also slightly misaligned. I could live with the 50 minute misalignment as it isn't really noticeable but the 12 o'clock is noticible at even the slightest glance. Trying to realign the seconds hand using the the manual adjustment method when the crown is pulled completely out either puts it just left of center or just right of center. I thought I was going crazy until I looked it the dial under a jewelers loupe and it all made sense. I'll contact customer service on Tuesday to see if I can get a replacement as I've worn the watch already. Outside of the misaligned indexes, this watch is spectacular. It wears very well on my 7 1/4" wrist. The bracelet is of excellent quality the dial is stunning with all of the different layers and the blue variant with the textured dial is really incredible. I think I just got one that has some slight QC issues.
