This is high performance quartz; and the chrono moves at 4Hz. Being a space watch, it's built to be as accurate as possible, only slipping +/- 10 seconds per year.

So yeah, it's quartz, but it's high-end quartz.

I did not expect to be met with this kind of temptation today 😅

To sweeten the deal, Amazon is giving 7% back for delayed shipping with the Prime Visa.

Just a note, this watch is absolutely massive on wrist.

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.

  • The watch uses high-performance quartz with a 4Hz chrono movement and is described as accurate to about ±10 seconds per year.

    nrtc6650

  • The watch can deliver a sweeping-seconds look and a 1/10th second chrono hand that outpaces traditional quartz behavior.

    ElGeFe

  • The deal can be cheaper after 7% back for no-rush shipping and additional savings from an Amazon credit card credit.

    tbone069

  • The watch is described as an accurate timekeeping workhorse that draws compliments even as a quartz model.

    astronaut_elvis

  • The 45mm case can feel absolutely massive on wrist and may overhang on smaller wrists.

    JollySofa692vwatchrepair

  • The lug-to-lug length and pinhole positioning can create fit issues, including a gap when pairing the strap variant with the standard Bulova bracelet.

    nrtc6650vwatchrepair

  • The polished case finish may not match preferences, since some buyers would prefer a brushed case instead.

    PoorFatKid

  • Shipping and packaging can fail, including reports of a delivered empty box.

Must be strong must be strong must be strong. Nope, in for one.
I don't know a ton about watches but if this is accurate to the degree you guys are saying... wow. I've got an Omega that loses 10+ seconds a day even after factory service. But then it's so beautiful I don't mind. Much.

Damn, I already have a Lunar Pilot, the Timascus Edition, but this price is too good. Attention if you don't know this watch, tho: it's huge, 45mm. Not for every wrist.
I have a pretty massive wrist, but this feels like it is better worn Flava Flav style.

This. I repair watches and I absolutely love this watch and the history. But, I was so bummed when I put one on. 😭 The lug-to-lug is so long that it overhangs by small wrist. But, I love this watch so much it's probably one I would still buy just to own it. lol.

Damn I wish this wasn't quartz.
It's an absolutely stunning workhorse of a watch. Quartz or not, it delivers accurate timekeeping and gets a lot of looks and praise.

It's the type of watch bro. All you quartz snobs need to look at the actual heritage and realize quartz watches are the most accurate and shunning it is silly.

Great deal on a truly excellent watch. You better have a 7.5"+ wrist though. This thing wears like a dinner plate on us slender-wristed folk.

I wish this didn't have the polished case. I'd jump on the brushed case.

I'm waiting for an automatic version of this like the original from 1971.
