TREAT YOURSELF

Inspired by the depths of space, Bulova's Lunar Pilot Black Hole captures the mysteries of the farthest reaches through one of Bulova's legendary timepieces from its Archive Series. It's the first Lunar Pilot offered in 41mm, and this limited edition arrives in a special Black Hole box complete with a travel case and matching Bulova clock.

The 41.2mm stainless steel case is black ion plated with a matte finish, offset by a bright polished bezel and matching pushers, and rated to 100m water resistance. Under a flat sapphire crystal, the six-hand chronograph dial is blacked out with Musou paint that absorbs 99.4% of light, paired with a gun-metal-tone tachymeter scale and a slim matching handset and applied markers lit with Super-LumiNova. Three recessed, circular-grooved sub-dials carry a 1/20 chronograph seconds counter at 3 o'clock, running seconds at 6 o'clock, and a 60-minute chronograph counter at 9 o'clock. It closes on a matching black 3-link stainless steel bracelet with a push-button deployant clasp, 20mm at the lugs. Power comes from Bulova's proprietary NP20 High Performance Quartz movement, built around a 3-pronged quartz crystal resonating at 262kHz — eight times the frequency of standard quartz — for accuracy rated to within seconds per year, while still driving a smoothly sweeping chronograph hand and running seconds hand rather than the usual quartz tick.

VALUE PICK

Collaborated with the Dolphin Project, Spinnaker's Croft Mid-Size Dolphin Project Limited Edition celebrates one of the ocean's most intelligent and beloved animals — the dolphin. At the heart of the design lies a beautifully textured wave-pattern dial where a group of dolphins swim; by day the dial reflects the rhythm of the ocean, and by night, Swiss Super-LumiNova illuminates the dolphins so they appear to swim across the dial in the dark. The line launches in three colourways — Sunrise Splash (orange), Dolphin Cave (green), and Aqua Play (blue) — each limited to 425 pieces, with 10% of net sales going directly to Dolphin Project's global campaigns to protect dolphins worldwide.

Every colourway shares the same 40mm stainless steel case, 14.1mm thick with a 47mm lug-to-lug, fitted with a screw-down crown and an anti-reflection coated sapphire lens. The 20mm stainless steel bracelet closes with a fold-over buckle that includes a safety lock and push button, and each watch also ships with a colour-matched RPET strap made from recycled ocean plastic — black for Sunrise Splash, grey for Dolphin Cave, and blue for Aqua Play.Power comes from a Japanese Miyota 8215 automatic movement with three hands and a date function, keeping the focus on the dial's wave-pattern artwork rather than added complications. Applied indexes filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova keep the dolphins visible after dark, and the watch is rated to 15 ATM of water resistance and backed by a 2-year international warranty.

NOT ANOTHER WATCH!

The Classic Kit-Cat Klock is an enduring symbol of American design, bringing joy and nostalgia to homes since its debut in 1932. Measuring 15.5 inches from ears to tail, this original-sized timepiece features the iconic rolling eyes, wagging tail, and infectious smile that have made it a beloved fixture in American culture. Crafted with precision, the Kit-Cat Klock showcases a sleek black or blue plastic case that complements its playful demeanor. The clock operates on two C batteries (not included), ensuring reliable timekeeping without the need for winding or electrical cords. Proudly made in America by the original manufacturer, this timepiece embodies quality craftsmanship and timeless charm. Its enduring appeal makes it a delightful addition to any room, infusing spaces with a touch of whimsy and a nod to classic Americana.

UPGRADE YOUR EDC

The MaxMadCo bolt action pen traces back to a concept that's been circulating in the EDC community for over 25 years. CountyComm brought it back in cooperation with the original designer, updated for current materials and with a handful of functional upgrades over the first run.The Gen 2 is built from polycarbonate bar stock — not cast or injection-molded, bar stock — with Grade 5 titanium hardware throughout. It features the standard TOPO texture pattern. At 0.4 ounces and 5 inches, it sits in the range of purpose-built EDC pens. The included refill is a German-made Schmidt 9000M — a pressurized medium ballpoint that's become a de facto standard in the EDC pen space for good reason. It writes reliably across paper types and orientations, and the 9000M is cross-compatible with other Schmidt series refills, so replacement options aren't a problem.

THE WINDUP WILDCARD 

Our character hats are back in stock and ready for your summer adventures! Inspired by the stylized drawings of vintage comics, such as Robert Crumb's, graphic and product designer Matt Smith-Johnson created a series of fun, unique watch characters exclusively for Worn & Wound. Each character, jovial and full of personality, comes with a catchphrase embodying some aspect of being a watch enthusiast. From celebrating our collective nerdiness to just the joy we find in timepieces, there is certainly a character or two that will resonate with you.
