Cheapest I've seen this version to date. Great deal.

Designed to be Noticed – Bulova 96B251 Special Edition Moon Apollo Lunar Pilot Mens Chronograph

Special Edition Lunar Pilot Chronograph from the Archive Series. Six-hand chronograph movement features proprietary high-performance quartz technology with 262 kHz vibrational frequency for precise accuracy. This classic collectors model is complete with a matte 45mm stainless steel case, black dial with white accents, anti-reflective curved sapphire crystal, black leather strap and an water resistance to 50 meters.

The special edition 96B251 is shipped with special Bulova packaging and includes an interchangeable nylon strap with a nubuck leather patch that commemorates the date of mission (DOM) as 08021971, a watch tool as well as a certificate of authenticity and a special edition watch booklet.

What we love: Timepiece with history. This is the only version with the special packaging and includes extras.

    Not bad for a budget Moonwatch

    • Ash SA on 17/02/2022 - 11:41

      Quartz kills it for me otherwise good choice with bragging rights. Size is gigantic though.

        This is not your average quartz. It is a high-accuracy 242khz "Precisionist" caliber instead of the normal garden variety 32.768khz Quartz calibers. It has a smooth(ish) sweep rather than the full second single tick.

        Bulova made some amazing watches back in the day. This carries not only the Moonwatch heritage but also their technological innovation.

        • Ash SA on 17/02/2022 - 12:59

          agree mate. have gone thru all their details, that's why i said it is a good choice. But thanks for the reply with the details.

            @Ash SA: Hey, I am a mechanical guy myself. It was my Jade Monster that Jody reviewed on JOMW. But if you are going to get a quartz as a mechanical guy, this is the one to get - or any within their Precisionist range which has a 262khz in it. Great innovation, fabulous horological history, and damn accurate to boot.

            • maverickjohn on 17/02/2022 - 19:05

              @Monsta-AU: For the price yes it's the one to get.
              I think the benchmark is grand Seiko a 9f movement. Unfortunately it's at least 10 times the price.

          242khz ….1/3 second sweep ….what is the battery life of such ad ended quartz technology ?

          • henno on 17/02/2022 - 22:43

            @garage sale: About 2yrs. I have a bunch of these movements and they are fantastic, but they do like eating the juice.
            My favourite quartz movement this side of a Grand Seiko springy.

  • awesomise on 17/02/2022 - 10:58

    Great watch, way too big for me.

    For any prospective buyers
    keep in mind the lug to lug is 52mm

    • siuol on 17/02/2022 - 12:24

      so even bigger than the IWC big pilot…

      Yup, holding out for those ankle watch deals…

  • StToffee on 17/02/2022 - 11:18

    Would just love one at this price but but the size might rule me out.

    Too bad it’s quartz…

  • peeppeep on 17/02/2022 - 13:58

    For those on the fence due to the size check out the all black version which is also at 399AUD. While not really too different in any other the all black scheme makes the watch look and wear smaller than it is

    Thanks, Purchased!

  • dvstec on 17/02/2022 - 14:31

    I got the 96B258 (stainless steel band) from StarBuy in a previous sale, and love it, its my daily

    • Ash SA on 17/02/2022 - 15:07

      for how much mate ?

  • Sch3nck on 17/02/2022 - 17:37

    Does anyone know who stocks this watch in Melbourne? Tried to Google it but couldn't find. I wanted to try it in person.

    • lumiere on 17/02/2022 - 19:59

      Would it be safe to assume that this includes the special edition watch tool? It does not seem to be mentioned in the description.

  • pennypacker on 17/02/2022 - 20:06

    It's the same model number, 96B251, so you would have to think so.

    Edit: Meant to reply to @lumiere

    • garage sale on 18/02/2022 - 21:52

      bought mine from Starbuy as they are fast on delivery and seem to sometimes do deals for Ozbargain …… hindsight maybe Amazon would have been better with some cashrewards back …..

  • pommie on 18/02/2022 - 15:02

    I have already received mine. Super fast delivery, this is the first time I have ordered from Starbuy and I am very happy.

    • garage sale on 18/02/2022 - 21:52

      I have a few watches from Starbuy and they are FAST on delivery …..
