Men's Leather Strap Moon Watch

I saw this watch in a local jewellers window and wasn't sure about it, I did some research and took my time and fell in love with it, I have several bulovas, automatics and quartz. In the shop it's a lot more money, but after buying this watch I would have happily paid the high street price it's so good, it's a well crafted and beautiful time piece which has become my primary daily watch I love it to bits and it has historical importance to boot! My friend has the omega in fact a couple and I broke my neck to show him this and tell its tale of how it trumped omega on the moon lol...go treat yourself you won't be disappointed.

This is a nice watch which will inevitably by continuously compared to it's Omega predecessor. It's big, chunky and feels substantial.It's similar in styling to the Omega Speedmaster 'Moon watch' but isn't as stylish, smooth and sleek or, indeed, expensive. I feel safer wearing this when going about my day than my Speedmaster especially since it has a sapphire crystal whereas the Speedmaster has an easily scratched acrylic crystal. Since this watch has a quartz movement it's much more accurate than the Speedmaster. I really like the strap as it looks modern and whereas the Omega looks like a 60s styled watch (think a vintage sports car's dashboad dials), this watch looks contemporary in comparison. I'm very pleased with this watch and recommend it to all Apollo maniacs.

When buying a watch i look for 4 different things: Price, Complexity, History, Aesthetics. This watch has all four:- Price- nowhere will you find a watch which does everything else so well for such a good price. Complexity- the high performance quartz movement is astounding, gaining/losing a couple seconds a year (my auto watches lose/gain more in half a day) History- the other moon watch, the fact that this alongside the omega speedmaster has been to the moon is enough reason to buy it. aesthetics- its a big watch, this was my biggest issue - i have a 6.75 inch wrist so i was worried 44mm would be too big though. it is large on the wrist however it is not as bad a s i thought it would be. i swapped the strap out for an aftermarket thinner strap and it hugs the wrist a lot better than the faux carbon fibre leather strap that comes with. A great buy!

Love this watch, the history, the look, fits perfect on my 7.5 inch wrist on the nato strap. Dont like the leather strap it comes with. Would have been a 5 star but arrived with the tool loose in box and result was a small scuff on the case which Amazon sorted for me so no complaints.

I have wanted this watch for years and finally, the price was great and i snagged it. The watch itself is a lovely size and feel to it. You can feel the quality of it. Its easy to adjust the time on it and also the strap should you want. It comes in a lovely presentation box too. Must have for any space nerd!

Looks great very retro and love the history was a bit worried it might look big on my average sized wrists but it really doesn’t , really happy with the purchase

Absolutely out of this world ! A watch with this history should have commanded a higher price ! Received it today and it's in a fantastic presentation box along with beautiful booklets and a tool for the changing the straps. The quality of build is superb and has a retro style combined with ultra modern quartz accuracy is what makes it a reliable day to day watch . I was not aware of the watches history and was considering buying an Omega speedmaster moon watch but the difference in price and it's build quality sold it for me ! This is an early days review but so far no complaints and thanks Amazon for the recent price reduction and the superfast delivery !

Excellent value watch and comes with two straps, yet the booklet is in German which is only a minor detail as they are hard to find in UK at this price but the design and feel of the watch is pleasing highly recommended to any collector of timepieces

This watch has been reviewed on Amazon many times already, so I will try to not repeat too much of what has already been said, and if I do repeat, I'll try to condense my words to what you might really be interested to know. First: This watch has some historical significance, as a replica of the only other watch known to be worn on the Moon besides the Omega Speedmaster (which I also once owned). Bulova produced just a few of these back in the early 70's (through their Swiss subsidiary Universal Geneve), submitted some to NASA for testing, and gifted one to David Scott, who took it along as "backup" during the Apollo 15 mission. He ended up wearing it on the lunar surface while piloting the Lunar Rover. That particular watch sold at auction in 2015 for $1,600,000. Second: Even without the historical significance, it's a technically interesting watch with unique features. The watch uses Bulova's UHF quartz movement, in which the crystal vibrates 8 times faster than conventional quartz watches. This provides extreme accuracy of approximately 10 seconds/year as well as very smooth motion of the central chronograph seconds hand. The running seconds hand located on the subdial at six o'clock ticks every half-second, not every second like most quartz watches. Third: The styling is unique among modern Bulova watches, which are often very highly polished, glittery and sometimes "blingy". This watch is more of a "tool" or instrument, with a mostly bead blasted texture, and a little bit of a brushed finish on the bezel. The crystal is a thick flat slab of sapphire, and actually protrudes a millimeter or so above the edge of the bezel, just like the original plexiglass crystal did. The pushers to activate the chronograph functions are levers which operate in slots milled in the case. The dial is very precisely detailed, and has the subdials and the track for seconds recessed slightly below the level of the main dial, while the tachymeter track is raised above the main dial, giving a pleasing three-dimensional effect. The white lumed hands and markers offer high contrast with the black dial, and very good legibility. Basically, the watch looks like something designed to do a particular job, rather than something designed simply to look pretty. Fourth: The watch is physically large. The original was 43.3 mm diameter, and because the UHF movement used requires slightly more space, the case has been slightly enlarged to 45 mm, with an overall length of 53 from lug-to-lug and about 13 mm thickness. For most people, this isn't really a problem as large watches are fashionable, and it's not stupidly large like some other examples I could name. My wrists are almost exactly 7 inches, and I already owned other watches with similar size, so from my perspective it looks large, but not TOO large. If your wrists are less than 7 inches circumference, the watch MAY look big on you, depending on your personal preferences. Fifth: The build quality is excellent. I could find no defects at all, everything worked properly out of the box. I've heard of some buyers needing to reset the chronograph hands to zero (an easy adjustment), mine were fine from the start. The back is nicely detailed with information about the Apollo 15 mission and the famous Bulova tuning fork logo. The presentation box includes an extra velcro strap similar to those actually used by NASA, as well as a tool to remove the spring bars when changing straps. The leather strap which is attached to the watch is very nice, with a texture which resembles either carbon fiber or a basketweave (take your pick). Either way, it is kind of stiff to begin with, but in a day or so, conforms very well to my wrist. I find it comfortable enough to wear while sleeping, and although the watch is somewhat heavy, after a while it is easy to forget I'm wearing it. I wouldn't choose this watch to wear during very active sports such as mountain biking, as the weight on my wrist might be noticeable then. Also, I've got other watches which are lighter and better suited for that kind of use. However, for everyday wear, the Lunar Pilot is perfectly comfortable. Bottom line (see what I did there?) is that this watch is unique, comfortable, accurate and historically significant, and a LOT of watch for the money.

Nice and good watch

Piękny zegarek i super set.

Gorgeous watch. Rich history. I find myself often staring at it. The box and the extra strap is great. I got it on sale but feel that even for full price, it would still be worth it. Saphire crystal, high accuracy quartz, there's lots to love here. Size feels great to me, but that's entirely subjective. This is my first Bulova and it's currently my favorite watch.

Consegnato esattamente nei tempi previsti, corrispondente alla descrizione, nuovo di magazzino con pellicole e protezioni al loro posto; la scatola era ancora sigillata. Come indicato, nella bella confezione era presente il secondo cinturino EVA, l'accessorio per il montaggio e anche l'opuscolo che racconta la storia in lingua inglese. I materiali e le caratteristiche costruttive sono di alto livello, questo unito al calibro ad alta frequenza ne fanno un oggetto di pregio. Non mi dilungo sulla sua storia legata alle missioni lunari, già descritta con cura e dovizia di particolari in altre recensioni presenti, ma riassumendo per me è sicuramente un orologio di qualità e con una grande storia, penso che valga tutti i soldi spesi e anche di più. Molto consigliato.
