the lunar pilot is the epitome of watch. legibility, accuracy, style and presence. Bulova have a far more relevant and important story in space and flight than the other moon watch does.

I really enjoy mine and will never sell it. It's the most accurate and legible chronograph I own. One more downside is weak lume, but then again, it's not a dive watch.

I’ve had mine a good few years now, it really is terrific value for money. Accuracy is exceptional, finish is very good and the design is top notch with the variety of depths on the dial adding interest. My only criticisms are the underwhelming lume, the lack of any AR coating on the crystal which detracts from the wonderful dial sometimes, and the brushed finish on the bracelet which would look so much better if it were bead blasted. Those minor gripes aside, if you think it would fit your wrist you won’t regret buying one. It’s a very respectable watch indeed.

Great macro shots, very well done. Love the lunar surface photos behind the watch, too. Excellent review.

I totally agree. The good thing is that I have it already. It’s so goddamn big but also very beautiful. The movement is outstanding. Minus 5 seconds per year with my watch. I almost never wear it but I love it! A watch for enthusiasts. 🎉🍾🍰🕐🍰☕️🍸🍸

Eric this is my grail watch too. I got mine a couple of years ago and absolutely love it.

Have owned and worn the Lunar Pilot SE on the provided leather strap for about a year.

Great video. I have an 8 inch wrist and the Lunar Pilot looks great. It’s my go to travel watch and I really enjoy wearing it.

[@skycrafts5140]

That video was put together very well. Thanks for that. A great presentation, and I have seen a lot done for this watch. I have this version but with the non-metalic straps. Love the history behind it, the look of it and I love the accuracy of the watch too. Thanks again for the video.

Nice review. I’ve the dateless black coated version and it wears visually slimmer on my 7.5” wrist. I think the case being black helps reduce its visual bulk.

Oh, how I love this watch!

[@davidparrishproductions5082]

Ps your photography is absolutely amazing!

[@nedflanders3769]

It’s a kick ass watch for sure, even if it didn’t have the cool history. Good video!

[@william38022]
