What they said about The Accutron Movement in 1964:
The Accutron Story, Old fashion balance wheel is still in used in all wind, and electric Watches. It is not used in the Accutron movement.
Accutron tuning fork keeps virtually perfect time and comes with the first guarantee of accuracy ever given.
We don't call it a watch.
All the parts that make a watch fast or slow have been left out. ( The Accutron movement doesn't even tick. It hums. Hold it to you ear. It's eerie.)
But let's answer the big question first. What kind of time does it keep?
Here are 2 statements that no regular watch has ever dare to make:
1. We guarantee average daily accuracy within 2 seconds.(In fact, 1 second or none at all are more common!)
2. And what's more, this is the accuracy this timepiece will keep for life.
You can see why the United State now uses the Accutron movement instead of conventional timing devices in satellites. (And why the Air Force issued it to all X. 15 pilots. Many owners use it for celestial navigation.) View Watches »
