Introduced in the early 1960s, the Accutron was the world’s first fully electronic wristwatch and quickly became known for its exceptional accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the Spaceview apart is its open dial design, which reveals the movement instead of hiding it. Originally created as a display model to showcase Bulova’s groundbreaking technology, the exposed tuning fork, copper coils, and electronic components captured so much attention that the Spaceview became an icon in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch is powered by Bulova’s Accutron caliber, regulated by a 360 Hz tuning fork rather than a traditional balance wheel. This unique system gives the seconds hand its smooth, continuous sweep and produces the characteristic soft hum that Accutron watches are famous for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 38mm oval-shaped case features a gold-tone finish with a gold electroplated bezel and a stainless steel case back. The original battery hatch is still present on the back, a detail collectors appreciate. It is paired with a green leather strap that complements the watch’s futuristic look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its printed Accutron logo, chapter ring, and clean baton-style hands, the Spaceview offers both visual impact and easy legibility. Today, it is regarded not only as a technological milestone but also as a design classic, making it a highly collectible piece and an important chapter in the history of electronic watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGeneral Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: disc; padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bulova\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wristwatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spaceview\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear \/ Era:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1974 - Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGender:\u003c\/strong\u003e Men's\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDial \u0026amp; Display\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: disc; padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Analog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hour markers and matching hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMovement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: disc; padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quartz - Tuning fork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Functions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: disc; padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentral-second hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCase \u0026amp; Band\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: disc; padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold electroplated bezel and stainless steel case back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fixed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green leather two-piece strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Back Markings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bulova Patented Gold electroplated bezel Water Resistant Stainless Steel N4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCase Measurements (mm)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: disc; padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Lug to Lug:\u003c\/strong\u003e 41\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: disc; padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 12px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBox \u0026amp; Papers:\u003c\/strong\u003e NO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e The watch is in good condition, some signs of wear consistent with age and use, a solid case and dial.
