Bulova Moonwatch Re-Edition

r.palace · Post by **r.palace** » Mon Nov 02, 2015 6:21 am

Saw this on Hodinkee a while ago and thought it looked pretty good considering some of Bulova's more gaudy designs. $550 price point but with the discounts associated with the brand I'm sure you can get $200 off not too long after they hit the online market. I might be in for one.

I was just going to post this. The Hodinkee piece doesn't provide the size of the watch. Assuming it's not ridiculously small or ridiculously big, it would be a fun grab and go to have.

It looks great.

It does look great and if as you mentioned can eventually be found for 300-400 I think it's a lot of watch for the money. The box is nice as well.

I saw that one this morning and I must say I do like it a lot even if the pushers aren't my favorite style. Price isn't bad either.
Curious about case size. Hoping it's about 41-42mm and <=50mm l2l.
I'd love to get one

Looks really nice.

Looks very cool indeed. I searched the original model number to find the dimensions, but no luck.

Awesome strap, too.

That looks fantastic. It's hard to find a classic chrono in quartz.

Damn that looks great and I really like the strap choices also! Now I hope it is 42mm or under.

Looks like Bulova hit a real home run with this one. Man oh man, really
has that vintage personality, or character to it.

Wow, beautiful honestly !!!

Hadn't seen it I don't think either, so thanks so much for the news about it !

It has nice looks, for sure. I'd love to see this with an acrylic crystal, but I fear it'll have a mineral crystal like other Precisionists.

Bulova is doing a LOT of things right these days. I like it.

I agree. It's nice to see that. A Bulova Marine Star was my first "real" watch and so it's nice to see them get away from their usual mall watch inspired designs

Me too. I wore it every day for about 12 years. My dad still wears it.

Solid, a definite less is more esthetic.

Glad the dates in there though....

DenverBuff · Post by **DenverBuff** » Mon Nov 02, 2015 2:02 pm

The Accutron II's also push a lot of buttons for me. Retro aesthetic, insanely accurate, sweeping second hand, inexpensive . . . a lot to like there.

I like this. Would not mind owning one.

45mm!?! Thats big for a bezeless chrono

marchone · Post by **marchone** » Mon Nov 02, 2015 2:35 pm

45mm? Bummer.

45mm.

Post by **River Rat** » Mon Nov 02, 2015 2:37 pm

45mm might be a little too large. Too bad they did not do it the size of the original. That's probably close to the Omega speedy.

r.palace · Post by **r.palace** » Mon Nov 02, 2015 2:57 pm

45mm?!

Thanks Obama

Post by **CGSshorty** » Mon Nov 02, 2015 3:07 pm

Could that measurement be wrong? I'd think if it was 45mm the date and sub dials would all be crowded in the center of the dial.

I emailed Bulova Chris and that response was from the Global Communications Coordinator...I would hope she'd relay the correct information.
