Bulova Lunar Pilot Chronograph

50 years have passed since man’s first step on the Moon back in '69.
On August 2, 1971, Apollo 15 made history—and with it a Bulova LUNAR PILOT CHRONOGRAPH.
Customized for astronomical conditions, the watch could precisely track time and ensure that no one ran out of oxygen, water or battery power in the portable life-support-system backpack. It was also used to back up the on-board timers for the critical reentry into the earth’s atmosphere.
Here is the original:

A fun fact to share: The original Bulova lunar pilot chronograph—the only privately-owned watch to make space history— sold at auction for an astronomical $1.625 million!

@vladimir_lutzu Enjoed the watch face…and the history lesson! I never know it was a Bulova that went to the moon. Interesting to note what it sold for at auction…and as a little aside…Paul Newman’s Rolex sold at auction for a total price of just on 19 million!!! Cheers, Doons
