Bulova - Accutron II

WHAT WE LOVE:

The Bulova Accutron II Ref. 96B232 channels the spirit of the original Accutron Spaceview — a watch that changed the course of watchmaking when it debuted in the 1960s as the world’s first fully electronic watch. This modern interpretation captures the futuristic design language of the era while updating it with 21st-century technology.

The stainless steel UFO-shaped case measures 41mm across, with a polished bezel and brushed sides that evoke the case forms of early electronic watches. The most striking feature isits blue dial under a domed mineral crystal. The orange seconds hand and luminous hour markers provide just the right amount of contrast, and a discreet date window sits at 3 o’clock.

WHAT'S INSIDE:

Powering the 96B232 is Bulova’s Precisionist-derived UHF quartz movement, beating at an impressive 262 kHz — more than eight times the frequency of standard quartz. This ultra-high frequency allows for a smooth sweeping seconds hand and a high level of accuracy, typically rated to ±10 seconds per year.

As a modern homage to an electronic icon, the Accutron II 96B232 blends space-age aesthetics with one of the most advanced quartz calibers on the market — making it a standout for vintage lovers and high-accuracy enthusiasts alike.
