More on Accutron Spaceview 2020
In the grand history of horology, few watches lay claim to past, present, and future as effectively as Accutron's Spaceview.

About Accutron Spaceview 2020 Watches
Interestingly enough, Accutron's name was inspired by its revolutionary movement. ACCUTRON stands for "Accuracy through Electronic". The Accutron movements employ an electrostatic drive system exclusive to watchmaking, paired with design elements inspired by the iconic Accutron Spaceview tuning fork watches of the 1960s, delivering a distinctive and visually captivating experience.
The watches themselves are also the epitome of precision, with a manufacturer accuracy rating of +5/-5 seconds per month! If innovation, style, and technology are of importance, any watch collector simply cannot go wrong by adding an Accutron Spaceview 2020 watch to their collection.
Accutron Spaceview 2020 History
In late 1959, ahead of the launch of the groundbreaking Accutron watch line, Bulova's designers and artisans developed a unique method to print white markings in reverse onto Accutron crystals. These printed crystals contained all the necessary information typically found on an Accutron dial.
This innovation enabled Bulova to forego traditional dials on certain models and instead use printed crystals, revealing the inner workings of the watch, including the distinctive tuning fork and green circuitry.
These groundbreaking watches were primarily intended as promotional tools to showcase the revolutionary Accutron mechanism. The Bulova Accutron, affectionately known as the Spaceview upon its unveiling in 1960 and subsequent commercial debut in 1961, quickly became a legend in the watch industry.
Its pioneering tuning fork regulator captured widespread attention and admiration, while its dial-less design earned it the memorable nickname that endures to this day.
In 2020, Accutron-still owned by Bulova-relaunched with two collections: the Spaceview 2020 and the Spaceview DNA collection.
