The 1967 Bulova Accutron Astronaut GMT Watch with a black dial is a vintage timepiece with a unique allure. This limited edition wristwatch features a stainless steel bracelet and case, with a round shape reminiscent of a classic design. The watch is waterproof and equipped with luminous hands, indexes, and a 24-hour dial, making it perfect for pilots and aviation enthusiasts. With its polished silver case and silver band, this Bulova Accutron watch is a timeless piece that combines functionality with a touch of nostalgia.
This watch was introduced in the 1960s and was notably used by CIA pilots flying the A-12 aircraft during the Cold War. It features a 24-hour rotating bezel and a GMT function. The watch operates on a Bulova Accutron 214 tuning fork movement, which vibrates at 360 Hz for precision timekeeping. This model is known for its durability and unique technology.
The band is a Speidel USA Flex and fits perfect. The crystal has scratches consistent with a 59 year old watch. I had a battery put in it today by a jeweler and it is running great. I made a photo of the receipt for the battery replacement and will send it along with the watch. This is a very cool watch.
