Bulova Accutron Spaceview

Any love on here for for a little Spaceview? I acquired this recently and am quite besotted with it! Any other owners on here? Or anyone got the modern reissue ?

Nice Spaceview! I just got mine out last night to set an hour ahead.

Those lugs!

I admire these from afar. Really unique interesting watches that represent some great technology. More character and soul than a quartz movement.

I might own one in the future, who knows….

Great looking watch! A lover but not an owner. Adding a Spaceview to my collection is definitely on my list.

·

Its on my most wanted list. Amongst so many others lol

·

I love mine but can't wear it to bed. I keep thinking there's a mosquito buzzing around my head.

I feel left out! I wish I had one 😕😀👍⌚💪.

This is absolutely on my list for the future. Absolutely full of character ❤️

Bow tie lugs, I love the look of them. But imho all spaceviews are cool!

1964 all original except the bracelet.

Love the original but I went for the recent reissue by Accutron - the SpaceView 2020 Limited Edition - I swapped out the original black strap for the recently released green alligator which I think makes the watch pop better than the black. The new static electricity turbines are pretty awesome to watch

Also, if you love the Accutron movement, but want it in a fancier dress style watch - Omega was in partnership with Bulova and used the same tuning-fork movement in their Constellation watches from that same period. Here is an example I found in really nice condition

That looks awesome! Watched the video too and love how that movement works.

Oh that is cool! I have seen these before but didn’t know it was a collab with Bulova.

Thanks! Here is an interesting link for your reference

I love it, especially the new models. If they were a tiny bit more rugged and water resistant, I'd get one. I'm just too rough with watches to trust myself with that huge crystal.

A little too afraid to commit to the classic/original due to (over?)worrying about not being able to repair them, and waiting for the new electrostatic motor movement Accutrons to size down a little (and perhaps look a little tamer).

The Accutron II is a fair compromise, but I still wanted it to be closer to the classic than their other designs.

Really like that Accutron II, that case shape looks great!
