Bulova Accutron 2192 gold plated Tuning Fork Date Watch from 1976. Type 2192.10

Almost 50 years old, this is one of the last tuning fork watches to be made by Bulova, after this they switched to quartz which offered accuracy improvements and lower cost, but lost the smooth seconds hand which all of the hummers have (and the sound too, if you place it next to your ear!)

Fitted with a new strap, new crystal glass and a new battery the watch works beautifully and keeps good time: although they can't match quartz accuracy, these were much better than mechanical watches at the time and represented a quantum leap in watch technology being electronic/mechanical in operation.

The watch measures 34mm across without the crown, and 41mm lug-lug and is an unusual octagonal shape.

Batteries are simple to obtain (type 344) and easy to fit.

I'll send this by Special Delivery in the UK next day fully insured tracked and signed.
