To honor the 70th birthday of three-time Grammy Award-winning artist Nile Rodgers, Boulova unveils two new limited edition watches with all proceeds going to the We Are Family Foundation (WAFF).
The first model is a unique piece called ‘We are a family‘ and offered in stainless steel with black IP coating. Drawing inspiration from Rodgers’ musical DNA, the inner dial is distinguished by a disc-like black circle adorned with the artist’s signature. The outer ring of the dial is made of a wood grain that resembles the neck of a guitar.
Pink hands tick above the music-inspired dial design, adding a pop of color to the neutral-toned watch. On the reverse, the flat mineral background is inscribed with “Happy 70th Nile!” as well as the We Are Family Foundation logo. The watch is offered on a black nylon strap.
For the second honorary timepiece, Bulova transforms its most popular model in the Archive series, the Lunar Pilot Chronograph, offering a Lunar Pilot Chronograph “We Are Family” Limited Edition. The watch is a nod to the space race era of the 1960s and 1970s, during which Rodgers grew up and still exerts a strong fascination. The latest iteration is a commemorative reissue of the original chronograph worn on August 2, 1971 during the Apollo 15 mission.
Inspired by the original, the new watch is updated with Bulova’s exclusive high-performance quartz movement with a frequency of 262 kHz. It is housed in a solid sandblasted 316L surgical steel case with a diameter of 45mm. The case back is also inscribed with “Happy 70th Nile!”.
The Bulova ‘We Are Family’ sells for $295 and the The limited edition “We Are Family” Lunar Pilot Chronograph costs $795. The latter is a limited edition of 70 pieces. All proceeds from the sale will be for the benefit of the We Are Family Foundation (WAFF)
