Care Instructions
Daily Care
• Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft microfiber cloth after wear to remove oils, dust, and fingerprints.
Cleaning
• Use a soft cloth lightly dampened with water and mild soap for occasional cleaning.
• Dry the watch thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
What to Avoid
• Avoid bleach, chlorine, harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and household cleaning products.
• Do not use polishing compounds unless specifically recommended by the watch manufacturer.
Stainless Steel and Titanium
• Light surface marks may develop over time with normal wear.
• Titanium can show cosmetic marks differently than stainless steel because of its lighter weight and surface characteristics.
Water Resistance
• Always follow the water resistance rating listed by the manufacturer for your specific watch.
• Water resistance is not permanent and can decrease over time as seals and gaskets age.
• Make sure the crown is fully pushed in or screwed down before water exposure.
• Do not operate the crown, pushers, or other controls while the watch is underwater unless the manufacturer specifically states that it is safe to do so.
• Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and very hot showers, as heat and rapid temperature changes can affect the watch seals.
• Have the water resistance checked periodically, especially after battery replacement, case opening, or service.
Storage
• Store your watch in a clean, dry place when not in use.
• Keep it separated from other jewelry or watches to help prevent scratches.

Product details
Accutron Spaceview 314 - 26A223
If you love the story behind a watch as much as the watch itself, the Accutron Spaceview 314 (ref. 26A223) in Grade 5 titanium is hard to beat. This open-dial tuning fork watch brings back the technology that made Accutron famous in the 1960s through the hand-assembled Accutron Caliber Y230 tuning fork movement. Instead of the ticking balance wheel of a mechanical watch, a tiny tuning fork vibrates 360 times per second, giving the seconds hand a perfectly smooth sweep and producing Accutron's signature soft F-sharp hum. It's accurate to within two seconds a day, and modern Silicium and Elinvar components help the movement run efficiently and hold up over the years.
Crafted in lightweight Grade 5 titanium, this luxury titanium watch pairs a 39mm bi-finished case, with straight lugs and a crown tucked at 4 o'clock, with a vintage-inspired titanium coffin-link bracelet in brushed and polished finishes. A domed sapphire crystal opens up a clear view of the movement, where anglage, perlage, Côtes de Genève and frosted finishes are on full display beneath a champagne chapter ring with Super-LumiNova hour markers and a matching handset. At 13.25mm thick, this Spaceview has real presence on the wrist, and it's splash resistant, so rain or washing your hands is no problem, but it's best to take it off before swimming or showering.

Timepiece History
Bulova introduced the Accutron in 1960 under the slogan "The Watch That Hums." It was the first watch to replace the traditional balance wheel with a battery-powered tuning fork, driven by a system developed with Swiss engineer Max Hetzel, that vibrated 360 times per second and kept time to about two seconds a day. That precision made it the first wristwatch accurate enough for official U.S. railroad use.
The Spaceview is widely said to have begun as a display model that let jewelers show customers the tuning fork movement through an open dial, with customer demand leading Bulova to sell it. The Accutron's accuracy also earned it a place in the space program: Accutron was used in 46 NASA space missions, Accutron clocks were built into Gemini capsule instrument panels, and Accutron timers helped control experiments that astronauts left on the moon.
By the mid-1970s, Accutron had moved away from the tuning fork. Accutron revived the Spaceview in 2020 with an electrostatic movement, then brought the tuning fork back in 2025 with the Spaceview 314, whose movement closely follows the 1960 original.
