The Bulova Lunar Pilot Black Hole 98A335 Limited Edition joins the brand’s renowned chronograph family in its smallest version to date, with a case diameter of 41 mm. The all-black design was inspired by the dark depths of space and the mysteries of black holes.
The watch features a striking, unconventional dial, whose black surface is coated with a special paint called Musou Black, which absorbs up to 99.4% of light. The result is an exceptionally deep black surface that creates the perfect illusion of the infinite darkness of space, which gave the model its name.
The overall look is beautifully complemented by the gray tachymeter scale, hands, and applied hour markers in a gunmetal shade. Many will appreciate the absence of a date display.
For better readability in low-light conditions, the hands and hour markers are coated with gray Super-LumiNova (the colored luminescence does not reach the brightness of the classic version).
The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, ensuring high scratch resistance.
The steel watch case with a matte black IP finish is complemented by a similarly finished three-row steel bracelet with a butterfly clasp.
The watch is powered by the state-of-the-art Bulova High Precision Quartz (HPQ) NP20 battery-powered movement, operating at a high frequency of 262 kHz. This high frequency enables exceptional accuracy while ensuring the characteristic smooth operation of the central stopwatch seconds hand. The stopwatch can measure intervals of up to 60 minutes with an accuracy of 1/20 of a second.
The model is water-resistant to 100 meters, so there’s no need to remove the watch while showering or swimming. The 41-mm case diameter fits most men’s wrists, and this size is making its debut in the Lunar Pilot collection.
The Bulova Lunar Pilot Black Hole watch features a unique case back and will be delivered in special packaging inspired by the black hole theme, along with a Bulova watch and a travel case. This limited edition is limited to 6,000 pieces worldwide.

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.
