Bulova 1974 Accutron Ref.A2662

CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY AND APPRAISAL 1 YEAR MECHANICAL WARRANTY About The tuning fork movement, developed in the 1950s by a Swiss engineer named Max Hetzel, was seen as revolutionary when it debuted in 1960, and the first Accutron models caught early admirers such as Elvis Presley, who owned numerous models. Known for its smooth sweeping seconds hand and the humming produced by the tuning fork, this technology heralded a new age in horology, one looking toward a space-age future in an industry often obsessed with the past. We’re pleased to offer a fine example dating to 1974 today. The gold plated case measures 34mm, and is in crisp, seemingly unpolished condition. The sunburst dial is lovely, and features gold applied Roman numeral hours that are painted black to create a pleasing contrast. Overall, this particular piece looks to have been hardly worn, and is a great addition to any collection in need of an Accutron or simply a unique, vintage dress watch. We've paired it with an elegant Grained Calf Molequin strap in chocolate brown.
