Serviced 14K Solid Gold Bulova Accutron Spaceview. Box/Coin/Extra 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 It was originally made for jewelers and watch sellers alike to show off the revolutionary electronic tuning fork movement to prospective buyers.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. The first Accutrons to leave the factory as a “Spaceview” were in stainless steel and with chapter rings. Bulova Accutron Spaceview wristwatch. A 14 karat solid yellow gold case with a 14 karat solid gold case back 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 34.7mm in diameter by 39.8mm 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. The coil has been rebuilt and the capaciters/resiste rs have been replaced. 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 is fitted with a black new old stock JB Champion watch band with a yellow gold plated buckle. The watch has a vintage Accutron watch box, a coin /wrench for using when the battery is changed, an instruction booklet and a sales leaflet and an extra battery. This is a lovely 56-year-old timepiece that is in excellent running serviced condition. Because the watch has solid 14k gold someone asked me what the weight of the watch is. The complete watch weighs about 36.7 grams. Keep it in the box when it’s not in use it will last you another 56 years with your gentle care and will be ready to be handed down to the next generation of your kids and grandkids. The watch really looks lovely on the wrist and it will impress your friends to no end. It is definitely a keeper and I think you will love it.
