In 1952, Max Hetzel, an employee at Bulova Watch Company, presented the "Accutron" project, an abbreviation for "Accuracy" and "Electronic". This electronic watch delivered a level of precision that had never been seen before. The secret behind this precision is a small tuning fork calibrated at 360Hz, which divides each second into hundreds of equal parts.
This watch, with its steel case and integrated bracelet, is the iconic Bulova Accutron 214-7396 from the 1960s. Its white baton-shaped hands and orange second hand allow us to read the time on its famous Bulova 214 movement. The hesalite crystal bears the inscription "Bulova Accutron".
In good vintage condition, this watch is sold with its box, our certificate and our 6-months warranty.
