Housed in a sharp, stainless steel case with crisp edges, this is the kind of honest survivor collectors hope for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"438\" data-end=\"801\"\u003eThis case captures the aesthetic of the 1970s to the T. A brilliant stainless steel swollen tank case is coupled with rectangular lume plots with red filling at the cardinal 3,6,9, and 12 indices. This piece has a decidedly industrial feel in its size and execution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"803\" data-end=\"1173\"\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\u003e\u003cspan\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.
