Black Bulova moon watch photos

Recommended Posts

I didn't even realise that Bulova had released a black version of their new Moon Watch until I saw it in a shop yesterday! Looks very good on the black leather NATO-style strap.

More details here:-

And some pics from "ablogtowatch"...

I do too tbh (which is great since I have the SS version :lol: ) but some folk like the stealthier look! And the black NATO actually looks good - I think I'd prefer that to the carbon-effect leather strap on the SS version.

It's Bulova's version of Omega's "Dark Side of the Moon" but at less than 6% of the cost! :bugeyes:

Yeah, I'm a bit like that too but with ion plating it should actually last ok. I do like the matt effect too, same on the SS version actually.

Yeah... I saw that too while checking out current pricing for the SS version which has surprisingly bumped up... Kinda happy that I didn't buy the SS so far... As this one looks more appealing to me as I love black watches anyway... 

Btw... Did you guys notice that removed the date window from this release.

Nope! :lol:

But the SS version has a white on black datewheel.  I just ordered one from Amazon after reading your bloody reviews.  Bastards.

Geez, so it has! :lol:

Oh well, I guess they wanted to avoid cutting out the date window! :D

You'll love the SS version - it's a cracker mate!

Not bad, but I prefer the SS also.  Super value watch.

I found the SS for $311 with rebates on ebay and folks on WUS were saying it was sub-$250 earlier in the year. I couldn't find that price but don't doubt it. I'd be a buyer on a SS Bulova moony for under $250.

Prices I've found vary from £318 on Amazon, and a few others, up to £489.    I've gone with Amazon Prime, with free delivery tomorrow.

Here's the SS one in the US for $341. Seller has 2 left. Ebay had an 8% coupon last week so that + befrugal and it was under $310 USD.

Yeah... I remember seeing that price...the price on this one has been all over the place... I saw these selling for like 500+ dollars before they dropped to the 250ish levels.

Apparently they removed the date wheel to form better symmetry following feedback from owners. They also changed the bulova logo back to the original 1970s style which suits the lines of the watch I think (not that Im biased!).

This black version has been on sale at 'H SAMUELS ' lol in the UK for the last couple of weeks . With a 50% dicount  , and extra 10% off if you joined the news letter ! So you could buy the watch at £225 down from £499 , unfortunately they have now all been snapped up .

The moon watch is next on my list. For now I'll settle for this little gem.

The stainless version is sexy.  The black version in the OP just looks all kinds of wrong on that leather nato.  The strap is too short or something, especially on the side view on the website linked in the OP.
