Bulova Moonwatch - 96B258

You really want an Omega Speedmaster Professional but you can't afford it. The Bulova Luna Pilot is the often overlooked choice. It has the pedigree of being "the other" Moon Watch the big differences are that this watch is actually accurate. Yes it's a Quartz but a super accurate quartz. Even the most expensive mechanical / automatic watches like the Speedmaster often do not keep particularly good time. This watch is more affordable than the Omega. I am not knocking Omega, I would love one but they are now a Swatch watch. The Bulova looks great, it is well finished and extremely accurate. If I have to find a negative it would be that I would prefer it to be a little more water resistant (it is rated 50M) and with a screw in crown.

I bought this watch for myself for Christmas. On opening the box, given the price, I was really surprised by the quality of the watch case and bracelet. The finish is really top drawer. There are no rough or sharp edges anywhere. The case back is also very nicely engraved. There was a sticker on the case back which read "Japan movement case and bracelet China". This is not surprising seeing as Bulova is now owned by Citizen. Don't let this put you off buying because Citizen know how to make a good watch. I really wish that the watch had been automatic or solar powered, but never the less, it's a great addition to my collection . Recommended.

Beautiful watch. I already had the black version so was waiting for this at the right price. 262khz mvt is amazing to watch in action. You will need to buy 20mm curved spring bars if you want to wear this on a nato strap.

Really please with this watch. I have another precisionist boluva watch but this one is much better looking IMHO - its better looking on the wrist and in the hand that it is on screen - recommended if you can get it at a good price.

Absolutely stunning watch, feels really special on the wrist. Arrived on time and at a great price from US seller. Thanks

The watch is superb, the photos do not give it credit ,1st class movement and the quality is second to none 10/10 and yes I would recommend this watch in a heartbeat.

I still get a lot of enjoyment out of this watch. It does wear big, so I would suggest trying it on first before ordering online. It’s quite heavy so may take some getting used to if you don’t own any big watches. Overall though, it’s a good watch that keeps great time and looks good on the wrist, if you don’t try and dress it up. Pros: - Lovely sweeping chronograph movement. - Keeps great time. - Respected brand and interesting history. Cons: - it may be too big for some. - Lume is terrible and should be discounted. - No screw down crown.

Arrived early, beautifully packaged . Lovely bit of kit

Received the watch in good condition. Best buy!

Stunning watch with a really neat bit of history. It's quite large compared to most of my other watches, but it wears relatively small for its size. My wrist is just a hair under 7" and I'd say I'm right at the cusp of it fitting. If you have a smaller wrist, I'd recommend going with the 43mm version. It's an incredible watch with a good bit of heft and looks much nicer than the price suggests. Probably my favorite watch in my collection!

The heritage connection to the Apollo era gives it a unique charm that most modern watches simply don’t have.

Very fast delivery. Watch is excellent quality and looks great. Thought it may look clunky feel heavy and clumsy but its actually a perfect size and very comfortable on the wrist.

Es un magnífico reloj extremadamente preciso con un diseño fabuloso y una historia increíble este es el segundo reloj que ha viajado a la luna. La calidad es perfecta el acero inoxidable de la caja y del extensible se sienten. El taquímetro funciona perfectamente y es muy fácil de leer en general todo el reloj me fascina la discreción de la fecha así como que sea negro mate en su mayoría. El cristal de Zafiro plano hace que el reloj luzca muy elegante. Y el grabado de la tapa co toda la información de la misión de 1971 (DOM 08021971), me parece que es perfecto! Movimiento de Cuarzo de Ultra Alta Frecuencia UHF 262,144 Hz. Sin lugar a dudas de mis favoritos en la colección.
