Accutron reshaped watchmaking in the 1960s with the introduction of the tuning fork movement, delivering accuracy well beyond traditional mechanical designs of the time. The distinctive hum and electronic regulation marked a major shift in how watches were engineered and understood.

That technical leap was paired with clean, forward-looking design. Slim cases, balanced dials, and modern materials reflected mid-century tastes while signaling something new. Accutron stands as one of the most important chapters in Bulova’s history and a defining moment in 20th-century watchmaking.
