Premium aviation watches beyond the mainstream

Most pilots start their search with the brands everyone knows, but a smaller group of premium and heritage aviation watches earns its place on the wrist through history and engineering rather than marketing. That is what this collection is for. Right now it is anchored by Bulova, whose Lunar Pilot carries one of the most authentic aviation and spaceflight stories of any watch you can buy. When a Bulova Lunar Pilot purchase qualifies, Pilot Mall also includes a Lunar Pilot travel clock as a current gift-with-purchase perk while supplies last.

The Bulova Lunar Pilot

The Bulova Lunar Pilot High-Precision Space Chronograph 98K112 is the headline piece here. Its design descends from a Bulova chronograph carried on Apollo 15 by Commander David Scott, giving it genuine spaceflight heritage rather than borrowed styling. The modern edition runs Bulova's high-frequency quartz movement, prized for accuracy measured in seconds per year, and pairs a clean chronograph layout with a legible dial that reads well in cockpit light. It is a watch built for pilots who want function, history, and presence in one package.

Who it is for

This collection suits the pilot or aviation enthusiast who already owns a daily flyer and wants something with provenance, or the buyer shopping for a milestone gift such as a checkride, type rating, or retirement. If you simply need a workhorse cockpit watch, the popular mainstream brands may serve you better and are linked below. If you want a conversation piece with real flight history, the Lunar Pilot is hard to beat at this level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Bulova Lunar Pilot a good pilot watch?

Yes. The Bulova Lunar Pilot pairs a legible chronograph dial with high-precision quartz movement and genuine aviation and spaceflight heritage. It is a strong pick for pilots who want an accurate, reliable timepiece that also carries real history, whether worn daily or saved for milestone flights and special occasions.

Did a Bulova watch really go to the moon?

A Bulova chronograph was carried on Apollo 15 by Commander David Scott during the 1971 mission, and that watch is the inspiration behind today's Bulova Lunar Pilot. The modern Lunar Pilot is a tribute to that spaceflight history, which is part of what makes it a standout aviation watch.

What movement does the Bulova Lunar Pilot use?

The Bulova Lunar Pilot uses a high-frequency quartz movement. Bulova's ultra-high-frequency quartz is engineered for accuracy measured in seconds per year rather than per month, which gives the Lunar Pilot precise timekeeping and a smooth chronograph sweep without the maintenance a mechanical movement requires.

Is Alpina a Swiss-made aviation watch brand?

Yes. Alpina was founded in Switzerland in 1883, builds Swiss-made watches, and is now part of the Citizen Watch Group. Its Startimer Pilot line is its dedicated aviation collection. Availability of specific Alpina models varies, so check the current listings in this collection and our wider watch range for what is in stock.

Bulova vs Citizen pilot watches: which is better?

Both are excellent. Bulova leads on heritage and chronograph styling, with the Lunar Pilot as its aviation flagship. Citizen leads on everyday convenience through solar-powered Eco-Drive movements that rarely need a battery. Compare the Bulova Lunar Pilot against our Citizen pilot watches to decide which suits your flying.
