Accutron Spaceview 314 - 26A222

Inspired by Accutron's 1960s original, the Spaceview 314 brings the brand's tuning fork technology back to the wrist. Its 39mm bi-finished 904L stainless steel case features straight lugs and a crown positioned at 4 o'clock, and is paired with a vintage-inspired 904L coffin-link bracelet finished in brushed and polished surfaces.

At its heart is the hand-assembled Accutron Caliber Y230. Vibrating at 360 Hz, the tuning fork movement is accurate to within two seconds a day and drives a smooth, sweeping seconds hand.

A domed sapphire crystal sits over the open dial, giving a clear view of the movement beneath a green chapter ring with Super-LumiNova hour markers and a matching handset. Modern Silicium and Elinvar components enhance the caliber, while anglage, perlage, Côtes de Genève and frosted finishing are on full display.

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.
