Among Accutron's designs of that era were its \"TV watches,\" and the Memphis 521 revives one of those TV-shaped silhouettes, first introduced in 1960.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 521 number also belonged to the Accutron 521 of 1960, an asymmetrical gold TV watch with an electric tuning fork movement and its crown on the case back, a placement seen as futuristic at the time. Elvis Presley favored its angular style, and the 521 was one of several watches frequently seen on his wrist. Accutron has since acquired an original 521 certified as owned by Presley and keeps it in its historical archive, and in 2021 Accutron reissued the model as the limited-edition Legacy 521.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Memphis 521 debuted in Accutron's Fall\/Winter 2026 collection, pairing the TV-shaped silhouette with Accutron's new NM33 Precisionist resonator movement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Accutron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50850087632944,"sku":"26A218","price":2190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/1764\/4336\/files\/Memphis_521.png?v=1792536300","url":"https:\/\/elizaldejewelers.com\/products\/accutron-memphis-521-26a218","provider":"Elizalde Jewelers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
