{"product_id":"accutron-elevation-26a219","title":"Accutron Elevation - 26A219","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you appreciate a watch that's as clever as it is good-looking, the Accutron Elevation was made with you in mind. Inside is the NM33, Accutron's in-house resonator. Where a conventional quartz watch relies on a two-prong crystal vibrating at roughly 32 kHz, the NM33 uses a three-prong tuning fork that vibrates at 262 kHz, about eight times as fast. That higher frequency is a big part of why Accutron rates the Elevation's accuracy in seconds per year, while most quartz watches are measured in seconds per month.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the wrist, the 39mm asymmetrical case is crafted from 904L stainless steel, with vertical brushing broken up by polished accents, yet it stays a slim 11.2mm. The warm gray dial has real depth, with a honeycomb texture around a brushed center and a blue chapter ring that adds a subtle pop of color, while skeletonized hands and luminescent markers keep it easy to read day or night. A full-grain brown Italian leather strap brings a warm contrast to the dial, and the watch is splash resistant, so rain or washing your hands is no problem, but it's best to take it off before swimming or showering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIn-House NM33 Precisionist Resonator\u003c\/strong\u003e – A three-prong tuning fork vibrating at 262 kHz, about eight times the frequency of standard quartz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy Within Seconds per Year\u003c\/strong\u003e – High-frequency precision measured in seconds per year.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAsymmetrical Bi-Finished Case\u003c\/strong\u003e – A 39mm 904L stainless steel case with vertical brushing and polished accents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarm Gray Honeycomb Dial\u003c\/strong\u003e – A honeycomb texture contrasting a brushed center, framed by a blue chapter ring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkeletonized Hands \u0026amp; Luminescent Markers\u003c\/strong\u003e – Open-worked hands and glowing markers for clear legibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26A219\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accutron Elevation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resonator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e NM33 Precisionist in-house resonator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 262 kHz (three-prong tuning fork)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Within seconds per year\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bi-finished asymmetrical case\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e 904L stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertical brushing with polished accents\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 39 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.2 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm gray with honeycomb texture and brushed center\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChapter Ring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHands:\u003c\/strong\u003e Skeletonized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarkers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luminescent\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Splash resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-grain brown Italian leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTimepiece History\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBulova 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.

At its launch, the Precisionist claimed accuracy of about 10 seconds a year, compared with about 15 seconds a month for most quartz watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.
