Vintage NOS 1970 Bulova Accutron 250 Tuning Fork Watch with original Bulova department store hang tags and original JB Champion stainless steel bracelet. This exceptional time capsule comes directly from a long-closed department store inventory that remained in storage for decades, preserving an outstanding unworn appearance rarely found today.
The stainless steel case is dated N0 (1970) and retains its original brushed finish with crisp edges. The original JB Champion stainless steel bracelet is fitted with a signed Bulova tuning fork fold-over clasp, an iconic detail that collectors immediately recognize. The interior of the clasp is marked “JB Champion Stainless Steel USA,” while the exterior clasp proudly displays the Bulova tuning fork logo.
This watch retains its original department store hang tag identifying the Accutron 250 model and bracelet reference. The original battery compartment remains unmodified. Due to the obsolete original battery system, the watch has not been tested and is being offered exactly as acquired. Modern operation will require either the correct vintage battery solution or a professional movement conversion for use with modern batteries. No attempt has been made to alter or modify the original movement.
Condition is truly impressive for a watch now more than fifty years old. The case, bracelet, clasp, crystal, and dial all present exceptionally well with only minimal handling or decades of careful storage wear. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and condition report.
An outstanding opportunity to acquire an increasingly scarce New Old Stock Accutron 250 complete with its original bracelet, signed hardware, original department store hang tags, and documented department store provenance.
Your watch will be carefully packaged for safe transit. Shipping charges include insurance, and an adult signature will be required upon delivery for the protection of both buyer and seller.
Please feel free to reach out to request additional photos or information about the time piece.
