    Surprisingly good looking … they nailed the retro look married with modern components.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Should have came with a Bulova high beat quartz with the smooth sweep. Keeping with it's roots and be able to use it for any rougher activity than chess and watching you tube videos.

    What doesn't make sense is producing an Accutron without the tuning fork movement.

      Larry de March it's makes as much sense as producing a water cooled Porsche.

    I'm a sucker for cushion/tonneau/TV-shaped '70's vibe watches.

    The more you research watches, the deeper you get pulled into the land of endless possibilities. Like most all purchases , this will be the scenario - does it look good, do I want it now, can I afford it. Boom , it's a done deal.

    I have the 261 from the series. I did want the tuning fork as that design and history is what got me interested in Accutron. That said, I love mine. I’m so happy I got it. I was tired of my apple watch and wanted something else. It looks great with everything. It was an impulse buy that replaced my large and heavy Seiko I’d picked up a month earlier.
    I spend a lot of time at a desk on a laptop. The smaller (to me) 38mm case is far more comfortable that the 43mm+ cases on other watches I’ve had.
    To each is own but I really love mine.

    Overall, a good showing from the Citizen Group. It's always nice to see more of this funky, 70s and Liberace themed designed watches, as its quite different from most pieces on the market for obvious reasons. Different is always appreciated!

    This watch continued to grow on me as the video progressed, especially the brushing and that crystal. Very cool watch.

    • @morgan97475
      @morgan97475 Рік тому +1

      I found enough change & got this watch. My only major criticism - the rather small crown makes this essentially impossible to wind. I have to hold the watch in my hand & shake it in order to spin the rotor in order to wind this thing. Other than that, very cool, retro style watch.

    Beautiful watch. In my opinion the movement is not a bad a thing, even if it drifts appart from the original movements.

    @anthonystevens8683 3 роки тому

    I love the retro theme, the stubby hands I guess are needed to stop them hitting that angled chapter ring. The vertical brushing on the dial contrasts well with the mat chapter ring. I quite like the idea of using the SW200 movement as it's a well known Swiss workhorse and should be easy to service and regulate. Great macro photography once again Teddy.

    Ove what Accutron offers, but this one is out of my cup of tea. I look forward to more interesting additions to come

  • @ozmondos

    Bulova/Accutron designs can be a hit or a miss but they sure are distinct. Teddy we would love to hear your thoughts on the Frederique Constant's Slimline Monolithic Manufacture. They have finally created a mechanical watch with the smooth sweep, however I wish the finishing was better in line with the new movement. GS better watch out as spring drive is not only the movement with smooth sweep in the market now. Bulova has the battery powered precisionist, Accutron has the hybrid electrostatic movement and now Frederique Constant has the mechanical monolithic manufacture. However, spring drive is still the smoothest on paper I believe and GS' finishing is on another level.

  • @loganholmberg2295
    @loganholmberg2295 3 роки тому +2

    Is it really an Accutron if it's a mechanical movement? I have to say I'm disappointed in that. It feels like the new chevy Blazer. They reused a name but forgot about the heritage behind it despite the looks.

    • @loganholmberg2295
      @loganholmberg2295 3 роки тому

      Imagine how much thinner it could have been with a digital mvmt too. Its kind of a chunky watch for what it is.

    • @mariog7213
      @mariog7213 3 роки тому

      The blazer is still better than the new bronco in those terms. It’s basically a tall focus

  • @stevefox8605
    @stevefox8605 3 роки тому +1

    Just a weird choice not to use a electronic movement. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Too small for my taste, but good luck to them. Cheers mate 👍🏻

    • @loganholmberg2295
      @loganholmberg2295 3 роки тому

      Its too chunky too for the size. If it was allot thinner I think the size would be less of an issue.

    Funny how the decade when the Swiss watch industry was decimated had so many styling cues to revive today.

    • @mariog7213
      @mariog7213 3 роки тому +1

      They had to do something to stay relevant. I really like that era of watches. I have a 70s seiko lord matic with an oval shaped case. It’s very unique

    Mixed feeling to see this in automatic movt. The soul of Accutron is smooth sweeping sec hand, which is 2nd best to Seiko Spring Drive, be it in fork tuning or Quartz, stripping the movt renders Accutron naming meaningless.
