When does an Accutron not have a electronic hummer movement? When it is a Bulova Accutron Quartz, like this Dual-Day.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in 1977. But the engraving on the same case back shows it was gifted to H.L.A. in 1979 for 27 years service. Either year could be valid for a birth year watch.
CONDITION
The original 1960’s Accutrons used an electronic, battery powered movement that were regulated by tuning forks – hence the Bulova logo is a tuning fork. But the seventies bought advancement in quartz regulated watches, making them as accurate as the Accutron but considerably cheaper to produce. We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner. The bracelet is quite long and our sister website, SpareLinks.com, may have extra links if required. The bracelet does have some lifting of the gold plate in sections. The watch is signed on the dial, case, movement, crown and bracelet clasp.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.

From 1st September 2021 we will be planting a tree for every watch we sell, working with the International Tree Foundation (Est 1922) to make this business positive on carbon. By buying anything pre owned you are effectively reusing what already exists, but this takes it further and makes us feel good.
