Bulova Lunar Pilot Owner Review : Historical, impressive and lunar

Omega's legendary moonwatch is not the only one to have gone to the moon. It will undoubtedly remain the first but as few know, another watch has also been on the moon. Indeed it was on August 2, 1971, Commander David Scott was the 7th man to walk on the moon during the Apollo 15 mission. On his wrist, unlike all the other astronauts who took on this role, he wore a Bulova Moon Pilot Chronograph. The one in my possession is obviously a modern reproduction, which can be easily found at a very affordable price unlike its big sister at Omega. It is rather large, we are more on a 43/44 I would say. It is equipped with a nylon strap which I find does not necessarily highlight it and which makes it a little chip. Otherwise the watch itself is of very good quality. It is part of my collection dedicated to space history and watchmaking.
