14K Solid Gold Accutron Spaceview Watch. 1961. Boxes/Booklets/Coin/Bat. Free Ship
The Bulova Accutron wristwatch was the first completely electronic (without a balance wheel) wristwatch to come to market back in the year 1960. The Spaceview was never intended for the public marketplace. It was originally made for jewelers and watch sellers alike to show off the revolutionary electronic tuning fork movement to prospective buyers. Bulova was so proud of its accomplishment that they thought customers would like to see the green tuning fork movement and how right they were! So they made a crystal with the hour and minute track for customers to be able to read the time like a regular watch of the period. Without realizing it Joseph Bulova had created an absolute sensation! So the space view was born! The first Accutrons to leave the Bulova factory were made in solid gold. A little bit later on, they made them in gold filled, gold plated, two-tone and stainless steel cases with chapter rings. Bulova Accutron Spaceview wristwatch. A solid 14K yellow gold watch case in lovely condition. The watch is in excellent condition having undergone a complete dis-assembly, service, ultrasonic cleaning, and sanitation of the case and then gently polished, put back together and it is ready for you to wear. The watch case measures 34.2mm in diameter by 43.1mm from the top lug tip to bottom lug tip. The 214 tuning fork 17 jewel movement is very, very clean. It has been serviced by an Accutron specialist. All vital friction points have been lubricated with the correct oil. The movement was phased and timed using the correct Bulova timing equipment and it runs perfectly. The watch has a yellow gold filled Kreisler watch band with a bark finish in just about mint condition. It has seen very little use with the hinges still slightly stiff from its newness. This is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity to own a watch of this caliber in this condition. The watch will come with it’s set of Accutron watch boxes. Comes with its booklet and an Accutron coin and an extra battery. This is a lovely 59-year-old timepiece that is in excellent running serviced condition.
