The Accutron Astronaut, introduced by Bulova in the early 1960s, is a significant timepiece in horological history. It was among the first watches to feature a tuning fork movement, offering unparalleled accuracy for its time. The model gained prominence through its association with the X-15 test pilots, who wore these watches during their high-speed, high-altitude flights. This watch and its movement have rightly got a place in history alongside the much more famous Omega Speedmaster ‘Moonwatch’.
