The moon one
By Dave Kowalski, Chicago ยท
Quick history, because it's the reason anybody buys this. On Apollo 15, astronaut Dave Scott wore a Bulova chronograph on the lunar surface after his issued watch had a problem. Bulova eventually turned that into a reissue, and this is it. Great story. Great name. Dave's a good name for an astronaut, I'll just say that.
The watch itself is 45 mm, 13.5 mm thick, 20 mm lugs. Big, but the lugs are short so it wears a touch smaller than the number. High Precision quartz running at 262 kHz with that smooth sweep, chronograph, date, tachymeter. Sapphire this time, thank you.
Water resistance is 50 m. That's fine for a rainstorm and a hand-wash. It's not a swim watch and I wouldn't pretend otherwise.
$550 to $695 for a chronograph with a real space story is pretty decent. The Omega Speedmaster has the better story, sure, but it also costs about ten Lunar Pilots. My one real reservation: it's quartz, and some guys will never get over that. If you're one of them, I can't help you. If you're not, this is the cheapest way to get a moon watch that's got an actual connection to the moon.
