Accutron 214 Spaceview

I picked up a vintage ancestor for my most recent watch purchase. This is the Bulova Accutron 214 Spaceview from around 1970. It keeps time with a vibrating tuning fork, which is unique (afaik) to Accutron watches. This one is powered by a battery as opposed to the modern versions electrostatic motors. It makes a really pleasant old school hum when held up to the ear.
