Watch Description

Here is my recently serviced Bulova Accutron I believe to be an early Spaceview Alpha 'D'. Kudos to Rob B. for providing the high quality service he always provides and getting this piece of history back to humming and keeping time accurately. I believe the watch is all correct, unless one of the experts here can educate me differently. I think the watch is wearing it's original band, though it is hardened and brittle now. Both the 14K case and 214 movement are dated 1961. This is one of my favorite Accutrons in my collection. I would appreciate a confirmation as to the model this watch is and other comments. Thanks!

1961 was the first year for the Accurtron Spaceview, so you have an amazing piece IMO.

Your 1961 Bulova Accutron SpaceView "D" in solid 14K gold is a collectors dream watch.
