Watch Description

I am the original Owner of this watch. I received it new from my Father on my 18th birthday. I wore it for many years but grew tired of it. The original bracelet was damged and replaced sometime in the early eighties shortly before I quit wearing it.

I stored the watch in a Tubberware case in my dresser for the next 35 years.

A new battery was installed July 2019 and works perfectly. I intend to have the watch serviced, and hopfully working for many more years.

I guess the movement model is 218, not N6. I don't know much about this watch yet. Still learning.

Welcome to myBulova and thank you for sharing the watch your father gave you. I bet it was nice to come across it again and it is great that you can wear and enjoy it once more. The N6 is the case date code for 1976. The movement model will be on the movement. Do you have a photo of the movement you could share in the comments?

Great looking Accutron; looks to have been well kept. I've had a couple of these that were both from 1977. Those housed the 219 movement (2191.10), but in 1976 the 218 movement was most likely. When you have it open, count the number of tuning forks; if only one, then you have the 219.
