c.1973 Rare Bulova Accutron

This

  • Sold for: £480

LIVE AUCTION: This lot was auctioned on Sunday 12th November, 2017 at 11.05am GMT at NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT

DESCRIPTION

The Bulova accutron evokes an important stage of watch making history. Developed in the 1960's as an alternative to the lever movement, Bulova pioneered the Accutron with its tuning fork movement. This used the tuning fork instead of a balance for the timekeeping element. This was the forerunner of the quartz movement we all know today.

This Bulova is a very rare sports model with Helmet style case and inner rotating bezel. The dial is a very attractive blue colour and features a day and date window. The bracelet is original Bulova with singular large links that taper to the clasp. A very important part in the watchmaking story that can be enjoyed and worn daily.
