Guided by our pioneering spirit, we embarked on an adventure in Switzerland in search of 69 Lemania 1873 movements, true treasures of Swiss watchmaking from the 1970s. These movements, in addition to recounting the history of watchmaking, commemorate one of the most significant events in human history: the 1969 Moon landing. In six months, we completed a meticulous restoration process, breathing new life and splendor into these mechanical jewels, the beating heart of the Bucintoro 1969 Limited Edition.

The Bucintoro 1969 Limited Edition represents more than just a timepiece: it's a blend of history, adventure, and precision. Through the restoration of the Lemania 1873 movements, we offer our customers a tangible connection to the epic lunar exploration of 1969. Wearing this watch means carrying with you a legacy of innovation and courage, reliving every historic moment with a personal touch.
The Bucintoro 1969 comes with a unique feature, the countdown. It begins with the "Launch Preparation" at T-60, followed by the actual countdown at T-10. The "Engine Start" is at T-5, then the "Launch" concludes the countdown. After reaching zero, the chronograph measures speed using the tachometer, while the "Reset" button resets the chronograph for a new sequence.
On July 20, 1969, at 20:17:40 UTC, Apollo 11 landed on the Moon, marking an epochal moment for humanity. Neil Armstrong's first step on another celestial body inspired millions of people and opened new horizons in space exploration and scientific research. That moment represented not only an extraordinary technological achievement but also a symbol of hope and limitless possibilities for the future of humanity.
Wearing this timepiece means carrying a fragment of history on your wrist and embracing a legacy of innovation and courage. Every heartbeat is a tangible reminder of the epic moments and human achievements that have indelibly marked our past. It's an intimate and universal experience at the same time, allowing us to relive every historic moment with a personal touch, continuing the legacy of those who dared to dream and conquer the unknown.
The watch packaging is a handmade walnut wood case crafted in Friuli Venezia Giulia, with two internal levels. The first contains the watch, two straps, and the tools necessary for their replacement, while the second accommodates the iconic Canova bracelet.
