DescriptionA great conversation piece, the Accutron Gemini stainless steel men's watch (model 26A09) features a unique sub-skeleton window at 12 o'clock that offers a view into the sapphire crystals of the automatic watch movement. It also offers an applique accent of Accutron's signature tuning fork. This large-sized timepiece features a raised bezel that frames the black dial, which is accented by a patterned center, full Roman numeral display, and luminous hands (with seconds hand). It's completed by a stainless steel bracelet band featuring small, squarish links and a double push-button deployment buckle. Other features include an exhibition caseback, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and water resistance to 100 meters--suitable for recreational snorkeling and light recreational diving.
An automatic (or self-winding) watch is fitted with a device (rotor) that automatically winds the spring by using the force of gravity. It needs no battery, but it will stop if you have been physically inactive for an extended period of time--as long as you're moving, the watch will stay powered. Swiss watchmaker Abraham-Louis Perrelet invented the self-winding mechanism in 1770. It worked on the same principle as a modern pedometer, and was designed to wind as the owner walked.
Accutron Watch #26A09 Description:
Designed in America and handcrafted in Switzerland, each Accutron combines exceptional styling with the most advanced timekeeping technology. In the world of luxury watches, Accutron stands alone by offering: - The finest Swiss quartz movements available. - Solid stainless steel construction. - Solid-link, stainless steel bracelets and top-quality leather straps, many with hidden deployment clasps to provide a seamless look on the wrist. - 23-karat gold finishes applied with the most advanced plating technology. - Superior scratch-resistant sapphire crystals. - Water resistance from 30 meters (100 feet) to 200 meters (660 feet). For hundreds of years, precision timekeeping was strictly mechanical. Then Bulova transformed the course of time forever with the world's first fully electronic watch . . . Accutron. A vital component of the U.S. space program from the 1958 launch of Vanguard I through the first moonwalk in 1969, Accutron revolutionized the watchmaking industry by bringing its state-of-the-art timing mechanism directly to consumers. Today, building on this extraordinary legacy, Accutron remains at the forefront of watchmaking technology, combining the most advanced Swiss quartz movements with the finest of contemporary styling.
"I'm really impressed. Normally I would not buy an American watch because I'm sure you all know, Swiss-Made is the best. Well, this is Swiss-Made, haha, but it's an American brand. Bulova has come a long way from being one of the best to not and now back on track. This watch looks better than some of my other ones which cost a lot more than this one. The design with the partial open face and roman numerals with automatic movement is perfect. The bracelet matches the style of the face perfectly. Simply beautiful! " By dash0wman
