- It's been a while since my last video, and I think you'll be in for a surprise. In this one I'm talking about the legendary Accutron Spaceview and it's revolutionary tuning fork movement.

Nice video, I enjoyed watching only comment I have is that Accutrons hit the U.S. market in Oct. of 1960, just in time for X-Mass,,,
Great video, placed a bid on NOS 7396 ;)
Have you thought of a spaceview 21? Lovely video too.
Instant like for the background and suit. It matches the aesthetic of the accutron perfectly haha
There is a 2 digit code on the back of the watch. M# or N#. M=1960 + then number, M2 = 1962. N2=1972. The same code can be found on the movement.
They sent conversion kits to retailers and then made there own.
Thanks for the vid..
With pleasure!
What battery will work on this watch without conversion? How much would a conversion cost?
There is no conversion, it's a matter of "indexing" which one of the very few Accutron experienced repair men/women can do without any additional parts. The other option, which is much less expensive, is to buy an "Accucell" battery, which is nothing more than a thinner 1.5v battery with a small diode on it and it reduces the voltage to 1.3V,,,
Great review! Thanks for the tip to check/ convert the voltage of the battery. Is conversion complex and costly?
No, supposedly. Just need to add a resistor. But I wouldn’t do it myself 😅
Nice Video! just bought the exact same Model as Yours
I think the cussion Shape is by far the coolest and perfect size for men.
I wonder if You could tell me is it a problem which way to turn the Setting Wheel, and could setting the Time via the wrong Direction damage the Watch?
I don’t think so, as the movement is stopped when the setting wheel is pulled out.
I also have the same model it’s date is 1970
I’m on my journey too. Down 25lbs.
Topper ben je, Bart!!
Bedankt, Floor! 🙂
