Why This Watch Matters

• The Infamous. The Iconic. The Historic. The Most Important Timepiece in History.
• The Accutron 214 — NOTHING else compares.
• Before Omega ever “hitched a ride,” this was the watch in spacecraft, satellites, rockets, and even on astronauts’ wrists.
• This is NOT another mismatched, parts-bin “Frankensteined” conversion.
• This is the genuine article — the real Spaceview.

  • Back Set!

  • Electro-Magnetic Tuning Fork!

  • The first successful — and still the best — electronic timepiece.

  • The only watch that every true collector must own.

  • It’s a HUMMER.

My Promise

• I am not a part-time hobbyist throwing mismatched parts together.
• I preserve these watches the right way — because I love them.
  • No fake conversions.
  • No shortcuts that ruin collector value.
  • No feeding the “chop shops” spitting out dozens of fakes each month.

• Correct 2nd series issue of the 3-wire Coil Assembly

• Correct case back with Astronaut model stampings and the Delta Mark triangle at the end of the serial number

As was typical of the era, components were produced in different Bulova facilities across New York, stamped when finished, then assembled together later. This time-staggered production only adds to the historic authenticity.

Condition

• Gorgeous original case and rotating 24-hour bezel

• Incredible condition of the hands, bezel, case, and movement

• Sharp case edges with crisp machining, appearing nearly as fresh as when it left the factory nearly 60 years ago

Service & Restoration

• Completely disassembled and deep cleaned

• 4-piece rotating bezel disassembled, cleaned, adjusted, and greased — now sets and rotates exactly as it should

• Friction points oiled and the setting crown mechanism greased to Bulova specifications

• Phased to run on the Accucell 1.35v battery — no diodes, no “purple dollops,” no electronics butchery

• Runs beautifully, tests within spec

Preserved, Not Altered

• No unnecessary coatings or alterations to the coils that add stress and trap windings

• Electronics left intact to preserve long-term collector value

• Note: 70% of coil issues originate on the battery side, due to owners using incorrect batteries — not on the component side

Final Word

Stop wasting time (and money) on Frankensteined fakes.
