Description: Bulova pays tribute to its rich and legendary history of collaboration with nasa and the US space program through a new version of the famous Lunar Pilot: The new Meteorite Lunar Pilot limited edition watch. In a world where the conquest of space is all the rage, Bulova continues to keep the value of its history active through its Archive series models, now offering a limited edition replica of the original watch that traveled to the moon with the special feature of a dial made of meteorite that makes each one unique. Bulova, for this limited edition, draws inspiration from space, considering making the model's dial with a thin core of material from meteorites.Meteorites arise from the impact with the Earth's atmosphere of meteoroids, rocks from the size of a grain of sand to small asteroids, which in the form of meteor showers pass through the Earth's atmosphere, overheating to the point sometimes of emitting light and forming luminous trails (shooting stars). Once the meteorite falls to earth, it undergoes an extremely slow cooling process as it has been heated by the combination of gravitational compression with the impact energy created by the collisions and isotope decay that occurred before it hit the earth's ground. This combination of heating of the crystalline structure formed over millions of years and subsequent cooling gives rise to a particular structure of the iron-based meteorite called the "Widmanstätten" pattern, an intricate pattern of intersecting lamellae that make up unique patterns, thus making, each quadrant unique, unrepeatable and not artificially replicable. Bulova's new Lunar Pilot Meteorite Limited Edition has the exact diameter of the original model, or 43.5 mm declined on a grade 5 titanium case with a sandblasted matte finish. The dial wears the oldest type of meteorite known to man, the "Muonionalusta" Meteorite, which scientists say is 4.5653 billion years old. The movement adopted by the new Lunar Pilot is a quartz accurate to 1/20th of a second, called High Precision Quartz, a Bulova patent called hpq (High Precision Quartz) declined in the NP20 chronograph. The combination of these elements makes the model a perfect collector's item for watchmaking and space conquest enthusiasts. The nato strap, with its quick release system for interchangeability, sapphire crystal, printed and dimensional tachymeter scale on the dial, hands and indexes with super-luminova treatment, and screw-down case back with engravings of the limited series and moonwalk. Completing the mix of features is water resistance to 50 mt. The model is issued in 5,000 pieces worldwide, of which 1,000 in Italy, and comes with special packaging and commemorative booklet.
