In a historic feat on August 2, 1971, a Bulova chronograph witnessed lunar conditions during the Apollo 15 mission, making its mark on the moon’s surface. Now, Bulova pays tribute to this iconic moment with the Limited Edition Lunar Pilot Meteorite from the Archive Series, boasting a distinctive dial that echoes its interstellar history, ensuring that no two timepieces are alike.
The Stellar Dial
At the heart of this out-of-this-world timepiece is a six-hand chronograph dial meticulously fashioned from genuine Muonionalusta meteorite, a 4.5-billion-year-old iron meteorite discovered in Northern Scandinavia in 1906. Each dial features a unique crystalline pattern, making every piece in this limited edition truly one-of-a-kind.
Luxury in Space
Luxury meets space exploration with the 43.5mm sandblasted silver-tone grade 5 titanium case, adorned with polished accents. The result is a dynamic, incredibly lightweight presence on the wrist. The slim chronograph pushers and the crown, bearing the iconic Bulova tuning fork logo, are positioned at 3 o’clock for perfect proportions.
Design Elements
A black tachymeter ring with a retro Bulova logo offers contrast around the dial, while luminescent hands and applied markers ensure exceptional legibility. The black recessed, circular grooved sub-dials include a 1/20 chronograph seconds counter at 3 o’clock, running seconds with a sweep hand at 6 o’clock, and a 60-minute chronograph counter at 9 o’clock.
Precision in Every Tick
Powered by Bulova’s proprietary high-precision quartz technology, this collector’s watch boasts an accuracy of seconds per year. The smooth sweep second hand adds to the precision, making it an ideal companion for those who value accurate timekeeping.
