A Bulova Accutron Quartz, with day date complication and Accuset button for extra precise time setting.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the serial number on the case back, and the matching number on the movement, we can accurately date this watch to being made in 1978.

CONDITION

We are quite cautious about describing watches as New Old Stock unless there is very good reason to believe it.  The condition of this is enough!  The signed, long bracelet (which does not need any special tools to adjust the length) is rolled gold plated on the inside and outside, and neither is showing any wear.  The only downside is the clasp doesn’t clip over as it should, as shown in the video, which might be the reason that the watch looks unworn.  We could supply a leather strap to replace the bracelet if this is an issue for you – this is not an integrated bracelet so it is easy to swap.  We couldn’t we find more than light dust when we cleaned the watch.  The dial is perfect, as are the hands, and both have their tritium lume all in place.  The two piece case back screws down to protect the Bulova 242.311 movement that has a QC stamp for 10-8, indicating this movement passed quality control in October 1978.  This is an Accutron quartz movement, despite the Accutron name that is more associated with the electronic ‘hummer’ movements.  Bulova have repeated this marketing twist more recently.  The day and date an be quick set, with the day language being either French or English.  The Accuset pusher still functions too, allowing very fine setting for the movement.

This watch will be supplied with our Certificate of Authenticity.
