Oscillating at 360 Hz, it keeps time to within two seconds a day, sends the seconds hand on a smooth, continuous sweep, and produces the soft F-sharp hum that has long been Accutron's signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe open dial leaves that movement in full view beneath a domed sapphire crystal. A silver-tone chapter ring carries Super-LumiNova hour markers and a matching handset, while the caliber below shows off anglage, perlage, Côtes de Genève and frosted finishing, along with modern Silicium and Elinvar components chosen for efficiency and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEverything is housed in an asymmetrical shield-shaped case that reimagines the iconic Accutron Spaceview. Crafted from 904L stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance, the case pairs polished and brushed surfaces with two distinct lug styles, and is fitted to a black padded Italian calf leather strap with a foldover deployant clasp.

That precision made it the first wristwatch accurate enough for official U.S. railroad use. The open-dial Spaceview became the design most closely associated with the Accutron, and Accutron was used in 46 NASA space missions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the early 1960s, Accutron also offered \"Alpha\" models powered by the original Caliber 214 tuning fork movement, including an open-dial Spaceview Alpha with an asymmetrical case. Some Alpha cases paired differently shaped upper and lower lugs; the Alpha 314 likewise uses two styles of lugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the mid-1970s, Accutron had moved away from the tuning fork. The technology returned in 2025 with the Spaceview 314, and Accutron introduced the Alpha 314 in its Fall\/Winter 2026 collection as a reinvention of the Spaceview, with a heritage-inspired, shield-shaped case.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Accutron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50850040479792,"sku":"26A224","price":5990.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/1764\/4336\/files\/Alpha_314_cb4e3550-e24d-4156-b68b-78dc8bbb8401.png?v=1792534435","url":"https:\/\/elizaldejewelers.com\/es\/products\/accutron-alpha-314-26a224","provider":"Elizalde Jewelers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
