Just got lucky and found one of the 5000 in a Bulova official dealer. It’s gorgeous I love the titanium case contrast with stainless steel bezel and meteorite dial. For the features is fairly priced even with a quartz movement. However a close recreation would have been with an mechanical chronograph (the original had a Universal Geneve movement the brand was then owned by Bulova).
I guess you'd say I have an addiction to Lunar Pilot watches; I own six of them. My favorite is the 50th anniversary edition, but this one is a close second. These watches are well made and beautiful; I frequently get compliments when I wear them. I'm anxiously waiting to see what Bulova comes up with next.

This watch is beautiful, very happy with my purchase (#0227) - the meteorite face is very unique. I can feel the lighter weight from the Grade 5 titanium / steel and it would be a great EDC watch. Quality Japanese movement for this one. Not taking away from the timepiece but the band is not as high quality (Chinese made band) as I would like. Fortunately, it can be easily swapped and has metal tabs to slide it out for a band you prefer. Second Bulova watch purchase for me and I am really liking the limited edition releases. Box wasn't as nice as 96C146 that I purchased but it's just a box at the end of the day.
