{"product_id":"accutron-spaceview-314-26a223","title":"Accutron Spaceview 314 - 26A223","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you love the story behind a watch as much as the watch itself, the Accutron Spaceview 314 (ref. 26A223) in Grade 5 titanium is hard to beat. This open-dial tuning fork watch brings back the technology that made Accutron famous in the 1960s through the hand-assembled Accutron Caliber Y230 tuning fork movement. Instead of the ticking balance wheel of a mechanical watch, a tiny tuning fork vibrates 360 times per second, giving the seconds hand a perfectly smooth sweep and producing Accutron's signature soft F-sharp hum. It's accurate to within two seconds a day, and modern Silicium and Elinvar components help the movement run efficiently and hold up over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted in lightweight Grade 5 titanium, this luxury titanium watch pairs a 39mm bi-finished case, with straight lugs and a crown tucked at 4 o'clock, with a vintage-inspired titanium coffin-link bracelet in brushed and polished finishes. A domed sapphire crystal opens up a clear view of the movement, where anglage, perlage, Côtes de Genève and frosted finishes are on full display beneath a champagne chapter ring with Super-LumiNova hour markers and a matching handset. At 13.25mm thick, this Spaceview has real presence on the wrist, and it's 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\u003eHand-Assembled Caliber Y230\u003c\/strong\u003e – Tuning fork movement vibrating at 360 Hz, with a soft F-sharp hum and a smooth sweeping seconds hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccurate to Two Seconds per Day\u003c\/strong\u003e – Tuning fork precision rated within two seconds a day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade 5 Titanium Case \u0026amp; Bracelet\u003c\/strong\u003e – A 39mm bi-finished case paired with a vintage-inspired coffin-link bracelet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen Dial with Champagne Chapter Ring\u003c\/strong\u003e – Super-LumiNova hour markers and a matching handset beneath a domed sapphire crystal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilicium \u0026amp; Elinvar Components\u003c\/strong\u003e – Modern movement materials, finished with anglage, perlage, Côtes de Genève and frosted surfaces.\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 26A223\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spaceview 314\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tuning Fork\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accutron Caliber Y230, hand-assembled tuning fork\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 360 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Within two seconds per day\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Materials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silicium and Elinvar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Finishing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anglage, perlage, Côtes de Genève, frosted surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bi-finished case with straight lugs and crown at 4 o'clock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grade 5 titanium\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 13.25 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domed sapphire\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open dial with champagne chapter ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHour Markers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Super-LumiNova\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHands:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matching handset\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Splash resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grade 5 titanium coffin-link, brushed and polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTimepiece History\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBulova 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Accutron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50865438720048,"sku":"26A223","price":6590.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/1764\/4336\/files\/Spaceview_314_fb3f12a0-a682-4667-9103-155b671bf61b.png?v=1792696431","url":"https:\/\/elizaldejewelers.com\/products\/accutron-spaceview-314-26a223","provider":"Elizalde Jewelers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
