Vintage NWA 🚨
When I knew about accutron tuning fork movements (here at WC of course), I was so fascinated that I knew that at some point I wanted to have one. And today's the day!
It's a small 36x40 mm watch, cushion case. Beautiful applied indices, brand and logo. The Indices have a blue color hard to capture in pictures.
I presume that at some point it had lume, but now it is not existant.
Sweeping seconds make it a cheap version of a spring drive 😃, and the quirky tone hum sounds great.
It was advertised as a watch from 1970, but more expert fellas can determine its exact age.

Looks to be in great condition! Enjoy in good health
I think, from the style of this watch, that it is very likely from 1969 onwards. Sweet find!
N denotes the 1970s

Excellent! So it is indeed from 1970. Thank you.
Another picture from the back of the back case. It might over further information about the watch.
Enjoy - I have found mine to be very accurate but battery life is a little short.

Awesome. Thanks! Your space view is beautiful!

How short? I can imagine that it takes more owner to make metal to vibrate than a quartz stone.

Well you can tell from the hum that there’s energy being “wasted”. I estimate between one and two years so very similar to a Seiko Elnix - also electronic and humming.
I’m also getting in that rabbit hole. Gathering infos at the moment!! 👍🏻🍾
Very nice. Congrats on obtaining this little piece of horological history.
Wow!…beautiful! Such understated finesse as its electronic engine hums beneath its bonnet.

Yes - good for those of us with small wrists.
There are plenty about but some are asking silly money. I was watching for a while as I was interested but not mad keen and eventually one came up in good condition and at a fair price.
Now that I have it I am more impressed than I expected to be.
Enjoy the search - v best
