Bulova Accutron Astronaut Homage

It would be nice if it was Bulova coming out with an Archive Series model for the early 1960's Accutron Astronaut. Until that day, here is a nice 1:1 homage from Forstner that is coming out soon!

First PVD Coated Watch by Bulova

Submitted by JimDon5822 on September 27, 2021 - 7:07pm

Here is a watch out of scope of MyBulova that I had to share from a historical perspective.   It is a 1974 Bulova Caravelle model #41893-9W.  It is a black PVD coated case with an amazing silver/blue/black "TRON" dial.   Doing research I found that the first PVD coated watch was credited to the 1972 Porsche Design experimental chronograph.    The next record of one I can find is a 1975 Heuer Monaco which is given credit as the first PVD coated production watch.  Quite rare and only 22 known to exist out of 100 or so produced.
