The new release extends Bulova\u2019s celebrated Lunar Pilot Watch collection, mirroring the dimensions of the original at 43.5mm; the starry-eyed timepiece joins the brand\u2019s popular Archive Series, expanding the range of fascinating, space-ready chronographs with a novel meteorite dial.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure>\n<p>The history of Bulova\u2019s Lunar Pilot chronograph dates back to August 2nd, 1971, during NASA\u2019s Apollo 15 mission. The watch, designed for the rigors of space, played a critical role in the mission\u2019s success. It ensured the safety of astronauts by tracking time for oxygen, water, and battery usage in life support systems and served as a backup for the spacecraft\u2019s timers. Bulova re-introduced the design in 2017 with a faithful interpretation of the original aesthetic, having expanded the options as part of the series multiple times since, perhaps most notably upon the 50<sup>th <\/sup>anniversary of the historical Apollo 15 mission in 2021.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The new Limited Edition Lunar Pilot continues the modern legacy of the vintage tool watch, with its chief inspiration drawing from meteoroids that survive the journey through Earth\u2019s atmosphere and come to be known as meteorites. These meteorites, known for their distinctive <em>Widmanst\u00e4tten<\/em> patterns \u2013 that is, a crystalline structure formed over millions of years \u2013 are used to produce each dial, making each uniquely patterned and irreplicable.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>As mentioned, the Meteorite Limited Edition Lunar Pilot mirrors the dimensions of the original space-ready tool watch at 43.5mm, with it featuring a sophisticated sandblasted grade-5 titanium and stainless steel case that\u2019s secured to the wrist via a black leather NATO-style strap. A 50m water resistance supports the chronograph\u2019s sporty wear, while a lunar relief design with an individualized number on the watch\u2019s caseback adds to its collectable style.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The dial of the space watch is protected by a sapphire crystal and showcases the ancient Muonionalusta Meteorite, believed to be 4.5653 billion years old. Black and lume accents add to the watch\u2019s looks and quick legibility, helping form meet function in its wear. Powering the new model is Bulova\u2019s advanced NP20 High Precision Quartz (HPQ) chronograph movement, accurate to 1\/20th second, with the movement seamlessly supporting the watch\u2019s precision utility.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Limited to just 5,000 pieces worldwide, the new Bulova Meteorite Limited Edition Lunar Pilot is priced at $1,495.
