Bulova 96B251 Lunar Pilot
On August 2, 1971, Bulova engineers created space history when they put a moon pilot chronograph—tailored for lunar conditions—on the moon during the Apollo 15 mission. Now Bulova continues a tradition of precise time by making history once more with the limited-edition Lunar Pilot Chronograph, upgraded with an exceptionally high-performance quartz movement with a frequency of 262 kHz for unmatched accuracy. The features include super-luminous hands and markings, anti-reflective sapphire glass, a tachymeter, and a calendar. The watch is housed in a silver-toned, solid 316L surgical-grade stainless steel casing with a black display. Two interchangeable straps are supplied, one made of textured black leather and the other of black nylon with a nubuck leather patch; honoring the date of mission (DOM), which is 08021971. Presented in a gift box is a Certificate of Authenticity.
A movement featuring a 3-pronged quartz crystal with a frequency of 262 kHz that is 8 times greater than standard quartz, leading to an accuracy of seconds a year.
