VINTAGE 1975 BULOVA ACCUTRON CALIBER 218 — RARE BLUE RADIAL DIAL
PROPERLY RE-PHASED & RUNNING ON STANDARD MODERN 1.55V BATTERIES (344 CELL)
Up for sale/sale is a clean, highly collectible 1975 Bulova Accutron featuring a factory deep blue radial pattern dial and the historic 360 Hz tuning fork electronic movement.
*** MOVEMENT & RE-PHASING NOTE ***
One of the biggest issues with buying vintage Accutrons is that original 1.35V mercury batteries are no longer made, and unserviced movements run fast or double-index on modern 1.55V cells.
This watch has been PROPERLY RE-PHASED. The index and pawl mechanism engagement has been adjusted so it runs accurately and reliably on cheap, readily available modern 1.55V Silver Oxide batteries (344 / SR1136SW cell). No expensive adapter required!
