The Accutron watch was the world’s
first electronic watch. When Accutron precision became available to customers,
Bulova was the first watch brand offering a written guarantee of accuracy-in-use
to within a minute a month. Today, all Accutron watches contain the finest
quartz-crystal movements, accurate to within three minutes a year.

In 1952 under the Bulova company
name, Max Hetzel, used a transistor in a wrist watch to develop a timepiece that
would provide more accurate timing than the existing mechanical watches.
NASA
asked Bulova in the 1960s to channel its Accutron efforts into making computers
for the Space Program. As a result, Bulova's Accutron timing mechanism became an
integral and vital part of space technology from the 1958 launch of Vanguard I
to the first moon walk on July 21, 1969. A Bulova Accutron timer was placed on
the moon's Sea of Tranquility to control the transmissions of vital data through
the years.
In
the 1970s in keeping with their commitment to defy technology Bulova created the
first ‘Mini Accutron’. The small diameter of 19 mm made this movement suitable
for use in ladies' watches.
Other
features of Accutron watches include stainless steel construction, 23 karat gold
finishes, superior scratch resistant sapphire crystals and water resistance from
30 to 200 meters.
The Accutron watches
are designed in America and made in Switzerland. With over twenty designs in
the Accutron watch series there is a style to suit most ladies and men. Prices
average from between US$500 to US$2000.
