Max Hetzel, employee at Bulova, presented in 1952 the “Accutron” project, an abbreviation for “Accuracy” (precision) and “Electronic” (electronics). This electronic watch gave an accuracy that had never been seen before. The secret behind this precision is a small tuning fork calibrated at 360Hz which makes it possible to divide each second into hundreds of equal parts.
This watch with its steel case and leather strap is the iconic Bulova Accutron 214 from the 60s. Its white stick-shaped hands and its orange second hand allow us to read the time on its famous Bulova 214 movement. The hesalite glass bears the inscription "Bulova Accutron" with original tritium.
THE WATCH COMES WITH OUR CERTIFICATE AND OUR 6 MONTH WARRANTY.
