Review: Stunning watch with great provenance! - 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!
Review: Great quality, value and performance - I am very pleased with my purchase. This is my fourth Bulova watch using the ultra-high frequency quartz movement used in their Precisionist line. This model is better constructed than any of the other Bulovas that I have had. The quality of the case and band are excellent. Some have complained that the band and case have slightly different finishes (case is stain, band is slightly brushed) but I really could not tell much of a difference. The band is comfortable and drapes nicely around the wrist. It has a butterfly closure that I prefer bu ist hard to find in "sports" watches that normally use a tri-fold closure with a clasp. With the butterfly closure, there is no outer clasp to become scratched. The watch is listed at 45 mm diameter, which is accurate. However, it has a slightly stepped construction in that the diameter of the face of watch is about 41 mm. Therefore, this watch wears smaller than 45 mm. Because of this, I think it is better proportioned than many large chronographs.The best thing about this watch and the reason it was chosen by one astronaut as a backup watch is the legibility of the dial. (FYI: the Omega Speedmaster was the original NASA purchased watch but the Bulova was used as the backup watch by at least one astronaut on the moon mission. In that case, his Omega stopped working and the Bulova had to be used). Being able to see the time at a glance is excellent due to the design of the hands, the dial, and the fact that the sapphire crystal has an anti-reflective coating. You should be aware that the center sweep seconds hand is for chronograph seconds and will move only when activated by the top pusher. Continuous seconds is shown in the lower subdial where the hand will tick 2 times per second. Subdial on the right is for 1/10 seconds, and the subdial on the left is for lapsed minutes up to 60 minutes. The subdials could have been slightly larger and the 60 minute counter should have been reduced to 30 minutes as on many chronographs. The shape of the pushers are unique to this model and have been widely praised. I like them myself and they work great. In case you are wondering about the battery life due to the higher energy consumption of the movement, it far exceeds Bulova's estimate of 2 years. My oldest Bulova Precisionist is more than 3 years old and I have never had to replace the battery even with a continuous sweeping center second hand going continuously for 3 1/2 years. This battery life seems common based on the discussion on many watch forums. I think that this purchase is money well spent.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An AMAZING watch!!
*by A***S on October 14, 2025*

I have had this watch in my basket for over a year. I have been in love with the Omega Speedmaster for as long as I can remember. When I found out about the Lunar Pilot, and its history with space, I researched and fell in love with it! The weight and quality is far above its price range. At first I didn’t know it I would really like it, but once I held this beautiful timepiece I removed all doubt. I am absolutely in love with the Lunar Pilot!! Also, if you want to size the bracelet, just know that it’s a push through pin, not a screw. It looks like it would be a screw by the flathead cut on one side but it’s not. I sized mine up with a watch repair kit from Harbor Freight and it worked great. In fact I’ve sized all my watch bands with this kit. I hope you enjoy your Lunar Pilot as much as I do!!!
