    The first thing I did, when the Lunar Pilot arrived, was to take off the silly strap. I replaced it with a single pass NATO and later with a gray racing style leather strap. That looks good and wears well. This watch is my most accurate one. Minus five seconds a year. 🕐⚙️🍸

    In fact the hesalite failure on Apollo 15 Commander David Scott's NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster n° 42 was not described in the official Apollo 15 mission report. On Apollo 16, LMP Charlie Duke's NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster n° 54 lost its hesalite completely, an incident that was completely described in the official Apollo 16 mission report concluding there would be no corrective action as these chronographs were back-up time pieces.
    The 44 mm Bulova 885104-01 lunar chronograph prototype (November 20, 1969 patent) worn by David Scott had a mechanical movement while modern day versions have a quartz movement.
    Onboard "Falcon" David Scott had also used a 50 mm Bulova stopwatch to time DOI - Descent Orbit Insertion and both Apollo 15 space-flown Bulova time pieces were auctioned in October 2015. #MoonwatchUniverse

    Great watch, I’ve got the same one, strangely enough mine has a blasted bezel and the body of the case is polished (also 43,5mm)
    Or maybe they sold you the 45mm instead of the 43,5mm.
    I know the 45mm comes in a”full polished body”……
    Anyway,great review of this magnificent timepiece with lots of history behind it 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
    Wear it with pride 👌🏽

      Thank you very much for watching!!!

    @ScottLevy-fp8jg 3 месяца назад +4

    Hey Man...Just a heads up. I think you may have the fully polished, no date 45mm version and not the new "smaller" 43.5mm version...I originally bought the fully polished, no date 45mm version a while back and loved it, except...yes, it was just a bit too big. So, when I saw that Bulova listened and was making a "smaller" version, I was pretty excited. I waited till close to a year after the "smaller" version came out since I knew that the price would go down and it did. I got it from Jomashop for 599 USD...Anyway, the reason I think you have the fully polished 45mm version is that the "smaller" 43.5mm version has a brushed bezel and brushed pusher tops. I don't know, maybe they're making the "smaller" version with different finishes? Anyway, I agree with you about this watch in every way. Love the look and the history regardless of a millimeter or two ;)

    Hi there, I do not want to embarrass you, but the Lunar Pilot shown in your video is the limited polished 45mm version, which was produced around 2021/2022. You can see the reference 96A225 on the back. The 43,5mm version with reference 96K111 comes by the way with a brushed bezel. Don't worry, you are not the first, who mixed them up, because their sizes are quite similar. The splitted Nato strap was indeed new to me. Thanks for the video! Greetings from Germany, Frank

    Nice video as always. What is the watch you are wearing, the one with the white face?
    I would recommend a superior chronograph than the one shown here: Certina Ds 2 Chronograph, with the Precidrive movement. You can look up the reference nr. with C024.447.11.081.00, which resembles the moonwatch the best, however it also comes on different colors and dial configurations. I personally own the one with the red accents. Now, that watch is insane: the movement, although its quartz, it has more jewels than most automatics (28 to be precise, the Bulova has none), and has the accuracy is also +-10 seconds a year, with added thermocompensation and end of life indicator, capable of measuring 1/10th of a second and it has 100m of water resistance, while only having 41mm in diameter. Also, it is swiss made (I know that is only a hype) and although sadly is discontinued, it can easily be found for less than the Bulova moonwatch. I don't think that is as much talked about, when it comes to quartz and chronographs.
