Story & Heritage The Bulova Accutron is a landmark in horological history. Introduced in the 1960s, Accutron technology replaced the traditional balance wheel with an electronic tuning fork system, offering remarkable precision for its time. Its famous smooth seconds hand and futuristic construction made it one of the most advanced watches of its era. The Spaceview version became especially iconic because it revealed the technology normally hidden beneath the dial. Instead of concealing the movement, Bulova transformed it into the visual identity of the watch. The exposed coils, bridges and green circuit-like base gave the Spaceview a space-age appearance, perfectly aligned with the optimism and technological ambition of the period. This example, with its gold plated case and open dial, is more than a vintage watch — it is a piece of design and engineering history. It represents the moment when watchmaking looked toward the future, combining science, style and innovation in a truly memorable form. Internal Reference Number - Ctm. 54
