I'm not sure how many postage stamps were ever made dealing with either Bulova or Accutron watches, but if you find any please post here.
Will start off with a few gorgeous metalic stamps from Tonga...yep Tonga.
Released July 20 1971, to commemorate history's greatest single engineering achievement, man's first landing on the moon, on July 20 1969 at exactly 8:17:41 PM GMT.
The stamps feature the Accutron movement and from what I've found so far came in 14s, 17s, 21s and 38s, 'Airmail' and 'Official Airmail'.
The Bulova museum in New York has an original 'First Day Card' as shown below. I managed to pickup a few mint-hinged stamps from this series and are pretty cool to look at up close, including the metalic parts that make up the case , tuning fork and center head piece.
The sad news is that the Electrical Engineers at NASA decided the Accutron coil voltage could inflict harm on other small voltage computers so it was replaced with OMEGA. Bulova continued to advertise the moon landing since the original Mercury 7 wore Accutrons. But it was Omega not Bulova that made it to the Moon in 1969. John V.

I'm sorry but this is not true, From the mid-1950s to the 1970s, American watchmaker Bulova worked in partnership with NASA to provide timekeeping instruments, including clocks equipped with the brand’s signature Accutron tuning-fork technology, and that equipment was used throughout the Apollo spacecraft from the command module to the lunar lander and even experiments left on the lunar surface, the only timekeeping instruments Omega provided was the wristwatches that the Astronauts wore...
