Accutron Elevation - 26A220

The Accutron Elevation pairs a bold, asymmetrical 39mm case with Accutron's in-house resonator technology. Crafted from 904L stainless steel, the bi-finished case alternates vertical brushing with polished accents and keeps a slim 11.2mm profile.

The champagne dial features a honeycomb texture that contrasts against a brushed center, framed by a chapter ring that matches the case. Skeletonized hands and luminescent markers keep the layout crisp and easy to read.

Powering the watch is the NM33 Precisionist, an in-house resonator movement built around a three-prong tuning fork vibrating at 262 kHz, about eight times the frequency of a standard quartz movement, for accuracy measured in seconds per year. A 904L stainless steel bracelet completes the design.

Timepiece History

Bulova introduced the Accutron in 1960, the first watch to replace the traditional balance wheel with a battery-powered tuning fork vibrating 360 times per second. Its precision made it the first wristwatch accurate enough for official U.S. railroad use.

In 2010, Bulova, working with its parent company Citizen, introduced the Precisionist, a quartz platform that added a third prong to the standard two-prong quartz crystal and ran at eight times the frequency of a traditional quartz watch. At its launch, the Precisionist claimed accuracy of about 10 seconds a year, compared with about 15 seconds a month for most quartz watches.

The Elevation debuted in Accutron's Fall/Winter 2026 collection with the NM33 Precisionist, an in-house resonator built around a three-prong tuning fork vibrating at 262 kHz. Accutron's resonator movement debuted in that same collection, where it also powers the Memphis 521.
