An Outstanding Vintage Bulova Accutron Tuning Fork, Day and Date, Gold and Steel, with Two-Tone Chocolate Quad Dial, Reference 557740

Bulova, a renowned watchmaker, has a rich history dating back to 1875 when Joseph Bulova, a young Bohemian immigrant, founded his company in New York City. In 1912, Bulova revolutionized the watch industry by introducing the first standardized production of timepieces, allowing for greater precision and affordability. They gained prominence in the early 20th century, with the creation of the iconic Bulova Accutron in 1960, the world's first electronic watch. This groundbreaking technology led to Accutron watches being used in various space missions, including NASA's Apollo program.

Bulova continued to innovate and introduced the Precisionist collection in 2010, featuring ultra-accurate quartz movements. Today, Bulova watches are known for their quality, style, and innovation, offering a wide range of timepieces to suit different tastes and preferences. With a legacy spanning over a century, Bulova remains a respected name in the watchmaking industry.

What’s On Offer

This vintage two-tone Bulova Accutron with a chocolate quad dial is your perfect vintage dress watch. Featuring a day date function, the metallic chocolatey dial goes elegantly with the gold dial furniture. The Golden Two-tone bracelet along with the brushed bezel adds a dazzling look to this piece but does not take away the classiness. The internal mechanics of this watch include a Swiss 21826 Calibre Accutron, electronic movement keeping great time. These watch movements are sought after for their precision, and craftsmanship.

The original bracelet, case and case back are in excellent condition only showing very light signs of wear.
