Being an owner of 2 space watches, the Speedmaster and the Fortis B-42, I dare to say that this Bulova is trully a brilliant watch ! Excellent review to the point !

If they released this watch with the same full mechanical movement as the one worn on the moon I would definitely purchase one.

The music really added to a "space" ambience, really enjoyed it!

Peacefull, calm, pro and great to watch opinion - i almost lost hoope there is a chance to see that type of reviews! ROCKS! THANK YOU !!!

I LOVE my Bulova ! I purchased two new Omega Speedmasters in the early 1990's both chrono functions stopped on their own w/o touching the pushers a known problem . The dealer let me exchange the Omega for a Breitling Navitimer which has been perfect. I also own a Omega Seamaster diver which has been excellent . Love the Bulova !

I purchased this timepiece 2 weeks ago and agree with the review. Though the lume is disappointing (doesn't last very long) it's still a very affordable, yet solid alternative to the Omega.

Good review. I'm definitely getting this, it's a nice addition to my Speedmaster. A warning regarding the steel bracelet. They moves the holes for the spring bars on this model so the steel bracelet wont fit.

Simply classic speaks for itself yet simple

very good review, well done!! I have 2 editions of this great watch, the limited edition box and the one with iron bracelet...both are great! one question, where I can buy the nato strap??? it is awesome!

This is a really great review... I felt drawn into the imagery and time period. Sold! Subbed!

The original watch was actually a Swiss-made Universal Geneve, which was at the time a subsidiary of Bulova.

Well done review. I'm wearing mine right now and love it. Just subscribed👍

Hey man, FYI the steel bracelet does not fit the non bracelet option. Apparently the holes are drilled differently on the 2 watch variants. I have heard this from multiple sources, including Bulova directly. Sounds very very odd, but apparently true. Would have been best opting for the bracelet option then sourcing the other straps, but I wanted the commemorative box.

@3m25s: On this example, the rapidly spinning 0.2s chronograph hand is center-punched slightly off-center.

I really considered buying one of these, but the 45mm is just way to big for my wrist... I wish Bulova would bring out a smaller version of this watch. It is so gorgous..

I put the same NATO strap on the watch. Nice short review..thanks.

I'm not into chronographs, therefore I got none, but I really want a piece of Apollo history in my collection. I can' really justify the price of Omega Speedmaster for just to be presented in the box most of the time, but this on is easily within my budget. nice timepiece.

Good review. I tried one on today - really liked the feel of the leather strap, but may try a NATO as well when mine arrives.

Why ON EARTH (or moon) didnt they release this earlier? Theyve clearly missed a goldmine for many many years.

The Lume is fine...mine holds charge all night...yours may be faulty or applied incorrectly

When I received this I was a little disappointed that the actual second hand in the 9o clock sundial did not have the sweeping motion associated with the movement. The Watch chronograph larger hand and the hand in the 3o clock sundial does sweep but not the actual second hand. Still love the watch and the history of Bulova time keeping in the early times of NASA

Ok Bulova is owned by Citizen and Omega is owned by Swatch? what's your point? you say it like it's a bad thing.

A great looking watch compromised by that ridiculously large 45mm size, why?? Was that the original size of NASA pilot Dave Scotts personal Bulova watch on the Apollo 15 mission? Also, it seems that the 1/20 second hand baton is not exactly placed dead centre on the dial, the rotation is asymmetrical.

Well why compare lume of dive watches to this one. You do not need powerfull lume in space..

Great video. honestly I subbed! I am tired of hearing archieluxury saying man on the fooking moon all the time lol.

The 1/10 second sub dial on my moon watch no longer resets straight up. Apparently an early production problem? Since it does not get daily wrist time, I may just live with it. Keeps excellent time, otherwise.

Just got mine, have a speedy as well, love both.

I'm not sure it's the first private watch on the Moon, IIRC, somebody wore a Rolex GMT to the Moon (but wore it under the pressure suit while on the Moon, so not actually used to tell time there), forgot who, though.

Great review handsome watch a piece of space history and I enjoy wearing it. It's too bad the steel brazelet will not fit this model . Bulova please take note and make a steel brazelet for this model sure it will be a best seller.

Very cool review 👍🏻 I think about buying the Bulova...your review is bringing me a step further 😉

Quick question. Im looking around for this watch. I noticed that your box has the silver plaque "Moon watch" as seen at 0:40 seconds in this video. I dont see that on the others that are for sale.? is there different versions or releases? Thanks

I hope you don’t mind if I steal your idea for the strap color on this but it looks much better than the leather band and I don’t want to use the historical nato which also came with it but really like what you’ve done as far as the strap goes

I wish Rolex would get with it and consider the GMT Pepsi watches that went to the moon. The Apollo 14 crew all wore the same one together and the GMT went down to the surface with Shepard and Mitchell. Not on the suit of course,but you can see them on their metal bracelet being worn for spacecraft activities,I think it was just for having such a memento and not having to move the issued omegas on and off the suits. Flown to the moon means FLOWN TO THE MOON. Exposed to elements or not.

True they were an American company but alas the movement in his watch was swiss. Bulova had not made a chronograph movement at the time and sourced out to a swiss movement. That was part of why NASA kicked them in their balls as there wasn't enough percentage of the watch made in America. Omega had their cases made in America and finished by Hamilton Watch company who also was in America. My bracelet version will be here Wednesday.

Thought I'd help you get to 1000 subs before the February changes, seeing as how you, unlike me, are so close, and you deserve it! Great videos. I just got this watch for a friend's 50th.

A very good review. It was near👍🏽. May be I have some watches on the list would like to share if they will be reviewed 😊

I don't believe the Omega came apart. Dave Scott wanted his own piece of history and Bulova did too! Dont be a fool. I'm contemplating buying this watch though. Not bad for $325 on Amazon

A very good presentation of watches review video !

You said it feels like a cheap leather band. Ok but you put a cheap nato strap probably amazon

Wow, what an atmospheric review. Only thing Id improve is the microphone quality. Liked and subscribed.

Great video, very good commentary.

I've heard that you can't replace his model strap with metal bracelet. If I'm wrong. I apologise.

Hi great review and I really like the Nato you put it on. Where did you get your Nato strap from?

Sad to hear about the lume. The lume and size are the only things keeping me from purchasing one. My Orient Mako II USA and Kamasu LE have great lume. Guess it proves Seiko lume is better than Citizen.

Nice an Honest review. Keep up the god work!

Nice review, thanks.

Great watch and review.

Very informative video.

legend has it...no facts state it.

great review. the next version should be much smaller and with a better designed crystal. just too big for my average wrist.

thanks very much for this

What is the conclusion after 3 months wearing it?

@5m08s: "At less than $700..." Cdn$230 (=US$175) Amazon Canada Black Friday 2019.

Good video, but not a fan of the dim lighting, and I had to crank my TV because your voice was so quiet.

Bulova ruined this design by choosing a 45mm case! The watch should be no larger than 40-41mm and the logo should be featuring on the dial. It's not rocket science!

torn between seiko sun065 and this watch help me out guys 😂

Not that faithful to original and totally different movement .Btw Citizen are the parent company now but still meant to be independant .This movement is exclusive to the brand so as far as Im concerned it's a Bulova movement

The Omega didn't break on the moon

good

no Bulova accutron logo. I opt out.

as you can see this is a real comment. And the watch is also real, But where the hell is there solid proof that the moon landing was real?

LIMFAC… 😂 even money you’re a VET like myself.

Not true. The lume is excellent. Get some glasses bruh.

the original watch was 42

Too big.. too bad. And logo should have been at 12.

the o is not a long o !

It's pronounced BU. love ah
