FOR SALE IS AN ABSURDLY NICE MINT CONDITION 1970 BULOVA ACCUTRON ASTRONAUT WITH BAKELITE BEZEL AND ORIGINAL JB CHAMPION BULLET BRACELET.
- CASE: BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL MINT CONDITION STAINLESS STEEL CASE MEASURING A SUBSTANTIAL 38mm ACROSS BEZEL BY 41mm LUG TO LUG. THIS IS AS CRISP AS THEY COME. I LOVE THOSE HORNED SEMI-HOODED LUGS WHICH REALLY GIVE THIS ONE A KILLER LOOK. THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS REMARKABLE ON THESE. THE CONICAL SHAPE OF THE CASE HOW IT TAPERS FROM THE BEZEL DOWN TO THE CASEBACK IS TOTALLY GENIUS. SPEAKING OF BEZELS, LOOK AT THAT MINTY LUMED DARK BLACK BAKELITE 24 GMT PIECE OF ART. SHE ROTATES WITH JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF FRICTION.
- DIAL: DOESN'T GET MORE LEGIBLE AND FUNCTIONAL THAN THIS SEMI-MATTE BLACK DIAL WITH THOSE CHUNKY STEEL MARKERS WITH SUPER CREAMY AGED TRITIUM. LOOK HOW NICELY THAT LUME MATCHES FROM THE DIAL TO THOSE FAT STEEL STICK HANDS. CHECKOUT THAT PROMINENT LUMED ARROW GMT HAND. I LOVE THE HINTS OF WHITE TRIM ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE MARKERS AND THE HUGE ACCUTRON LOGO. NO BS ON THIS DIAL. THIS IS A TOOL MEANT TO BE EASILY READ AT A QUICK GLANCE.
- MOVEMENT: THIS SPACE-DUDE RUNS ON THE FAMED TUNING FORK BATTERY OPERATED ACCUTRON 214. TIME IS SET BY LIFTING THE RING ON THE CASEBACK. SERVICE IS UNKNOWN BUT THIS IS A STRONG RUNNER
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON ITS ORIGINAL JB CHAMPION BULLET BRACELET. WHAT A GORGEOUS AND AWESOME WEARING HUNK OF STEEL. I LOVE THE LEVEL OF FINISH ON THIS, AND IT'S IN SUPER MINTY CONDITION. THIS ONE IS SIZED FOR A 7" WRIST WITH AN ADDITIONAL 6 MICRO-ADJUSTS. THIS IS AS NICE OF AN EXAMPLE OF THESE AS ONE CAN FIND. AN AWESOME COLLECTOR'S GRADE ACCUTRON ASTRONAUT WATCH.
