Bulova Lunar Pilot 98A329 Timascus Limited Edition is a limited edition introduced to mark the brand's 150th anniversary. This bold interpretation of the iconic chronograph was created in collaboration with Brazilian artist Thiago Rosinhol, known for his Budii figurines. Pop art elements are visible on both the watch and its special packaging.
The limited edition features a special dial made of titanium, worked using a Damascus steel technique to achieve a characteristic layered pattern. The blue Timascus dial is complemented by a blue tachymeter scale and matching chronograph pushers. The silver subdials provide a contrast.
Bulova Lunar Pilot 98A329 Timascus is a smaller version of the popular Lunar Pilot models. It has a case diameter of 43,5 mm, which also suits smaller wrists. The watch stands out for its design and finish, but above all for its connection to 1875, when the Bulova brand was founded, and 1971, when astronaut David Scott used his own Bulova Chronograph watch during the Apollo 15 mission. This happened after the crystal on his Omega watch, originally selected for the American space programme, cracked. Once this became known, the watch was renamed the Bulova Moonwatch.
The case of the Bulova 98A329 Lunar Pilot Chronograph is made of stainless steel, and its design is based on the legendary Bulova Chronograph watch used by astronaut Scott during the Apollo 15 mission. Inside is a high-performance HPQ (high-precision quartz) NP20 movement operating at a frequency of 262 kHz. This is approximately 8 times higher than that of standard quartz movements (32768 Hz). This allows for extreme accuracy, with a deviation of approximately 10 s per year. The movement also offers a chronograph function.
The unique dial is protected by a flat, raised sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. The crystal is scratch-resistant, and the anti-reflective coating provides excellent legibility even in bright sunlight. The watch comes on a three-link steel strap with a butterfly clasp. The strap has a quick-release system, making it easy to replace with a strap. The model has a water resistance of 50 m.
The watch comes in special packaging, which includes a signed Budii astronaut figurine, 15 cm tall and specially designed by Rosinhol, and a booklet. The limited edition is restricted to 5500 pieces. The limited edition is a dynamic combination of tradition, design and art.

The story of the Bulova brand begins in 1875 and has its roots in Bohemia. The founder was a Czech native Josef Bulova, who founded the J. Bulova Company in New York. He managed to build a large watch factory. In 1912, production was moved to Biel, Switzerland. In addition to the development of technological innovations, the company also scored in the field of marketing. She was the first to use television commercials.
Bulova achieved the greatest success in the development of electronically powered watches. The highlight was the introduction of a system with a tuner called Bulova Accutron. Another astronaut, David Scott, took care of another legendary moment. During the Apollo 15 mission, he took the Bulova Chronograph watch for a walk on the moon.
The Bulova brand is not idle and continues to offer top products in the field of precision. The offer includes a high performance quartz movement operating at a high frequency (262 kHz) with an accuracy of about 10 s per year, or the Curv movement, which is also the first curved movement with a chronograph in the world.
