What a beauty 😍 and a marvel of engeneering. Love those lugs 😍. Have a wonderful day Willard!

I love the Accutron! I need to educate myself as to what is involved in owning one. Do they need to have a conversion done to take modern batteries? Or can you source the original batteries?

The Spaceview is something else Willard! Unique dial and really cool watch! Great choice for today 👌

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Thanks! Good morning Danilo. Correct sir, definitely an engineering marvel…NASA used this movement in the Apollo command modules and the moon rover - which I think is still on the moon, form what I understand!

Good question Robert.

From what I understand (and could be wrong), you can use the older intended battery (1.35v?) or the modern version (1.55v). Was just reading that fine tuning is possible for better accuracy with new battery set up. I’ve had both in mine with no problems.

They’re great watches- need to go for one👌

They truly are their own thing Kostas, with incredible historical significance…all packaged up in tidy tasteful cases throughout the ‘60s and ‘70s😎
