Community Reviews
The Bulova Lunar Pilot is a high end quartz chronograph that stands out for its space watch history, sweeping seconds hand, and very strong accuracy, with claims of about plus or minus 10 seconds per year. The 45 millimeter case and long lug to lug make it wear huge, especially on smaller wrists, and the polished case is not to every taste. Bracelet fit can also be tricky on the strap variant. At this price, it reads as a compelling value for a distinctive, accurate chronograph.
Common Questions (5)
Yes. The 45mm case is repeatedly described as huge, with a very long lug-to-lug that can overhang smaller wrists and a fit that may feel like a dinner plate unless you have a larger wrist, around 7.5 inches or more.
Yes. It uses high-performance quartz with a 4Hz chronograph and is described as running about ±10 seconds per year, which is far more accurate than standard quartz and only beaten by watches that sync to an atomic clock or smartphone.
Yes, it is described as a solid deal, with one purchase reported at $300 in November and others getting the effective price down to about $252 using 7% no-rush shipping back and Amazon credit card rewards.
Not cleanly. The lug pinhole positioning on the strap variant sits farther out than on the bracelet version, so the standard Bulova Lunar Pilot bracelet can leave a visible gap if used on this model.
Yes. The case is polished, and one practical downside mentioned is that a brushed case would be preferred by some buyers.

I told myself I was done buying chronos... but couldn't pass on this for $252. This is an insane price.

I was hoping on this price for a Super Seville, the eBay refurbished deal sold out too fast.

Attention if you don't know this watch, tho: it's huge, 45mm. Not for every wrist.
