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.

Looks like the wristwatch I mentioned in the Hamilton topic, is now identified as a Bulova 3818... worn by NASA astronauts & testpilots

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.

I've been watching them, but agree that they seem a little overvalued. What a nice dial design, though!

Of course, like anything, condition and accessories matter. Mine has its original bracelet, boxes and instructions. Those two on strap don't look as slick 😀

All the accoutrements in the background.

Of course, exceptionally nice examples with original box and papers will warrant a higher price. An object is worth what someone is willing to paper for, and I could be wrong. I really like the finishing on the case.

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

May I sully this vintage thread with a vintage-inspired Bulova reissue?

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!
