Dave Scott’s Bulova Lunar Chronograph

Apollo 15 commander Dave Scott stated that he wore this personally owned Bulova on the lunar surface during the mission’s third EVA after the crystal was lost from his issued watch. Because it was his personal property it could enter the market; RR Auction offered it on 22 October 2015. The object is individually identifiable rather than merely an example of its model, which is important for Arcarel’s object-level record. The cited AOPA source supplies the key provenance, event or institutional facts used here. No unnamed buyer or owner has been inferred, and fields not established by the source are left blank. Its significance comes from the combination of the physical watch and the documented people, events, institutions or market history attached to this specific specimen.
