The Bulova 96A225 is a special edition Lunar Pilot Chronograph from Bulova’s Archive Series. It is famously known as the "Other Moon Watch" because it is a modern reissue of the prototype Bulova watch worn by astronaut David Scott during the Apollo 15 mission in 1971.
- The "Sweep" Seconds Hand: Unlike standard quartz watches where the second hand ticks once per second, the $262\text{ kHz}$ movement in the Lunar Pilot has a smooth, sweeping motion that mimics a high-end mechanical watch.
- Space Heritage: It is one of the few watches with genuine NASA history. The design features the unique "long" chronograph pushers designed to be operated with thick spacesuit gloves.
- No-Date Dial: The 96A225 is the "No-Date" version of the Lunar Pilot. Many collectors prefer this specific model because it is more historically accurate to the original 1971 watch and has a cleaner, symmetrical dial.
- The Size: At $45\text{ mm}$ (and $52\text{ mm}$ lug-to-lug), it is a large watch. However, the slim profile and the way the lugs curve help it sit better on wrists above 6.75 inches.
- Lume: The hands and markers use Super-LumiNova, though some reviewers find it slightly weaker than dive-watch standards.
