Vintage Bulova Astronaut GMT

The 1968 Bulova Accutron Astronaut is an iconic 38 mm space-era tool watch powered by the groundbreaking Caliber 214HN electronic tuning fork movement. Designed for supersonic flight and NASA missions, it features a distinctive rear-setting case back, a smooth 360 Hz sweeping second hand, and a bidirectional 24-hour bezel for tracking dual time zones. Marked with the historic "M8" date code, this landmark timepiece pairs aviation heritage with one of the most innovative movement architectures of the 20th century.

Bulova: One of America’s foremost watch manufacturers, Bulova was founded in the late 19th century by Joseph Bulova in Queens, New York. The brand quickly established itself as a producer of high-quality timepieces and became deeply ingrained in American culture, even creating the first-ever television commercial. Often considered an unsung hero of American watchmaking, Bulova offers a rich and varied catalog that makes it a treasure trove for vintage collectors.
