Lunar Pilot Meteorite
Archive Series
Product Description
On August 2, 1971, a Bulova chronograph engineered for lunar conditions was worn on the moon during the Apollo 15 mission. History is made again with the Limited Edition Lunar Pilot Meteorite from the Archive Series, this time with a unique dial that reinforces its spacefaring history – meaning, no two dials are alike.
The out-of-this-world timepiece features original design elements and an eye-catching six-hand chronograph dial meticulously crafted from genuine Muonionalusta meteorite. This 4.5-billion-year-old iron meteorite was discovered in Northern Scandinavia in 1906, and its varied crystalline pattern is reflected in the exclusive design that makes every dial one-of-a-kind.
Luxurious updates include a 43.5mm sandblasted silver-tone grade 5 titanium case with polished accents, creating a dynamic and incredibly lightweight presence on the wrist. Slim chronograph pushers and a crown featuring the Bulova tuning fork logo are perfectly proportioned and positioned at 3 o’clock.
A black tachymeter ring with a retro Bulova logo displays contrast around the dial, and the luminescent hands and applied markers offer exceptional legibility. The black recessed, circular grooved sub-dials include a 1/20 chronograph seconds counter at 3 o’clock, running seconds with a sweep hand at 6 o’clock, and a 60-minute chronograph counter at 9 o’clock.
Powered by our proprietary high-precision quartz technology with an accuracy of seconds per year, this collector’s watch is paired with a NATO black leather strap with an easy-release system for quick changes.
Limited to 5,000 numbered pieces worldwide and presented in a classic dark wood box with a storybook and a limited-edition card. Continuing Bulova’s legacy of innovation and precision timing, the Lunar Pilot Meteorite brings the past to the present with a sought-after design from space exploration history, perfect for the modern adventurer.

Bulova Lunar Pilot Meteorite Dial
I received my new Lunar Pilot meteorite dial watch a week ago, it was purchased a couple months ago for me by my daughter in the US This watch was, at the time not yet available in Australia. After a rendezvous in Mexico for a family wedding a week ago I have not stopped marveling at the beauty of this watch. it is a very wearable size and I love the accuracy of this precisionist movement! The history behind the Bulova Lunar Pilot watches is incredible, I can only hope you’re onboard with the Artemis missions to return to the moon! We Bulova fans will be “Watching”.

Bands nice but feels light and cheap definitely gonna swap it.. but other than that 2663 dial is gorgeous 😍 light frome head on makes ti have a 1/2 split of sparkle and flat carbon fiber looking meteorite
Gorgeous
An absolute beauty. Definitely one for your collection. Mine is a little different to the one pictured but that's to be expected as every dial is. unique due to the meteorite material. Big thumbs up here.
