Housed in a sharp cushion case with crisp edges and original factory finishing intact, this is the kind of honest survivor collectors hope for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the dial is the headline. A dark charcoal black dial is sectored from the center, with Steel hands with white stripes echo the dial furniture, with beautiful applique lume plots at their tips for a subtle functional touch. At 3, a date window rounds out the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe signed crown—correctly bearing the Accutron tuning fork logo—anchors the case at 4 o’clock. Inside beats the later Caliber 218 tuning fork movement, widely regarded as one of the more robust executions of Bulova’s revolutionary electronic platform. Instead of ticking, the seconds hand glides in a perfectly smooth sweep, powered by vibration rather than escapement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Accutron line famously found its way onto the wrists of astronauts, pilots, and even into cockpit instrumentation, cementing its reputation as the watch of the electronic age.
