·A few more of my accutrons. I've posted them in other threads, but I will repost int his thread:
Accutron 114P - 214 Prototype movement and numbered 14k Gold case without other markings:
Bulova Accutron Astronaut - My collection of M2 - 1962 watches with early dial variations. Sold to a new home. 🙁
General Omar Bradley was the President of Bulova. He commissioned watches with his 5 star insignia that I am lucky enough to own one:
My Green Accutron Snorkel Diver. Pairs nicely with my red one!
Accutron TE-16 Digital Output Timer - Super rare military grade timer with 3 fins that output the hours, minutes, and seconds.

·I've been wearing this on a Kizzy until I spotted the post by @Uscjake87 . It reminded me I had an old Fostner originally purchased for a Speedy laying around. It looks and feels quite nice.

·1972 / cal. 2181. Very good condition, I think the case looks especially charming. Seller claimed the watch is NOS, clearly it's not. However it's a fine example of NOSMA (New Old Stock My Ass)

·The Accutron Astronaut has been worn by 8 of the 12 X-15 pilots and during the Gemini III and Gemini V spaceflight missions.
Again, in June 1983 astronaut Norman Thagard wore his three line dial version “Bulova Accutron Astronaut” tuning fork watch aboard space shuttle Challenger during the STS-7 mission.
An Accutron Spaceview wrist watch was worn by astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman onboard space shuttle Discovery mission 51-D in April 1985.
Onboard the Lockheed A-12 Mach 3+ reconnaissance aircraft, Accutron wristwatches could only be worn if the pilots wore the David Clark S901-E pressure suit which had a watch pocket in the upper left glove.
My upcoming article in the " Of Time and Space " series :

Here is the Astronaut Mark II E with it's original bracelet which I had to take off and save because one of the lug links got damaged (solder failed) and I haven't found anybody to fix it.
