All my Bul-love-a love is in Wrist Alarm form.
I recently sold the silver wrist alarm (here on OF), but I still have the blue dial. It also has its original box (plastic) and hangtags.
That blue dial version is awesome! Thanks for sharing - I hadn't seen that model before... Now to go set up a watchrecon search for it...
I've seen one of two example for sale, but admittedly not very often. Best of luck with the search. 😀
There are two on eBay in the $600+ range, which is more than I think they are worth.
35 years ago... Toys-in-space, yes the HotWheels loop and not the Bulova Accutron Spaceview at the wrist of astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman onboard space shuttle orbiter "Discovery" in April 1985...
1960-2020 = 50 years Accutron and MoonwatchUniverse will be bringing some lesser known photographs

Accutron Bulova Spaceview !
35 years ago April 1985, space shuttle “Discovery” launched on its 4th mission but it is was the first of five shuttle missions for astronaut & mission specialist Dr Jeffrey Alan Hoffman. On STS 51-D Hoffman wore an Accutron Bulova SpaceView wristwatch, here demonstrating a Hot Wheels toy model car loop. The pre-mission photo shows Hoffman also wearing the Accutron Spaceview tuning fork humming wristwatch with its open design dial so the tuning fork & transistor mechanism can be seen. 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of Accutron as the world’s first successful electronic watch, a microsonic timepiece!
