SHOOTING FOR THE MOON
On August 2, 1971, Apollo 15 made history - and with
it a Bulova Lunar Pilot Chronograph.
Customised 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.
Bulova’s legendary engineering expertise was tapped by NASA to help with the U.S. space efforts. That partnership led to 46 missions together, from the mid-1950s into the 1970s, and Bulova’s innovative Accutron technology was used in all instrument panel clocks and timekeeping mechanisms. On August 2, 1971, Apollo 15 made history — and with it a Bulova Lunar Pilot Chronograph.
The original Bulova Lunar Pilot Chronograph - the only
privately-owned watch to make space history - sold at auction
for an astronomical $1.625 million!
