2021, The Watch Year in Review: 10 Captivating Chronographs
By almost any standard, the luxury watch world enjoyed a successful year in 2021 despite the lingering effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and its worldwide economic consequences ? with high-profile retailers reopening and expanding, new auction records set, some large-scale industry events (like our own WatchTime New York) returning, and of course, a host of notable timepieces launched. As we wrap up 2021 and look ahead enthusiastically to 2022, we take our annual look back at some of the year’s notable timepieces in various popular categories. Today we showcase chronographs.
Commemorating 50 years since a Bulova watch went to the moon on the Apollo 15 mission, the Bulova 50th Anniversary Lunar Pilot Limited Edition closely replicates the original model, which was specifically engineered for space travel, with a chronograph to track the duration of oxygen supplies, battery power, and other life-sustaining onboard systems, and a case designed to withstand changes in pressure, temperatures, atmospheric conditions, and gravity. The modern watch has a 45-mm case made of grade 5 titanium with gold-toned crown and pushers and gold-colored details on the dial, including the central seconds hand, the subdials, and the classic Bulova logo. Behind a gold-toned commemorative caseback is Bulova?s proprietary UHF (ultra high frequency) quartz caliber, beating at 262 Hz for an extremely high degree of timekeeping accuracy.
