Description from the seller
Bulova Accutron Asimmetrico M7 (1967) - Rare for Collection
A true piece of horology history, famous for its futuristic case design and for the revolutionary tuning fork movement. Collectors call this asymmetric case Floppy Football or Batwing for its incredible shape. Today this rare and futuristic model is among the most sought-after.
* Year of production: 1967 (M7 code on the case back)
* Movement: Accutron tuning fork, perfectly functioning
* Case: Asymmetric stainless steel
* Dial: spaceview conversion (movement visible) often performed soon after purchase due to high market demand at the time. To showcase the innovative movement, display models were without the dial; customers attracted by this viewable movement requested the modification with kits supplied by the manufacturer. Case dimensions: 34mm lug to lug 40mm, thickness 12 mm. Adjustable bracelet suitable for wrists up to 19 cm.
* Strap: steel bracelet, generic era-matching to the case knurling; this particular model was often paired with this exact asymmetrical Accutron. Online there is information and photos of this pairing.
* Condition: Excellent cosmetic condition, corners and sharp edges well defined, photos speak for themselves. Some minor signs of wear inevitable, especially on the strap.
* Operating condition: Recently serviced. The watch keeps time correctly. It features the classic and captivating continuous hum typical of the tuning fork movement, and the seconds hand has a smooth sweep. Battery just replaced, lasts about a year. Replace it with the same model and keep the spacer ring.
* Generic watch box.
Casual sale from private collection for downsizing.
