ABOUT Accutron York Watches

Accutron York Watches at nextdaywatches.com. Throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s there was a race among the watchmakers of the world. This race was to see who could produce a fully functional electronic watch first. All watches up until that point were mechanical meaning that they used a balance wheel and hairspring. This led to a significant amount of inaccuracy within the watches themselves. As Bulova was attempting to create this watch two other companies claimed to have created an electronic watch, but after further review both watches were deemed mechanical. It was not until Bulova created the Accutron watch that the world’s first electronic watch truly existed. Because of the impact that the Accutron watch had on Bulova and the world an entire brand was created, and collections such as the Accutron York watch are created today. The Accutron watch was introduced on October 25, 1960. This watch was able to keep time to an incredible degree of accuracy so it is fitting that the name Accutron represents Accuracy through Electronics. This watch revolutionized the way that watches were created. A Man named Max Hertz was the inventor of the revolutionary concept which powered these watches. The Accutron watches would use a tuning fork instead of the conventional materials. The tuning fork in turn would vibrate and the vibrations would power the watch. These watches also used a transistorized circuit, which had never been done before. It was through the use of this circuit, that the watches were able to classified as electronic watches. Although Accutron watches no longer use tuning forks, the watches remain just as accurate and this can be proven by taking a look at the Accutron York Watches. One of the Accutron York watches that is featured on nextdaywatches.com is the Accutron Men’s York Watch with 47 diamonds. This watch includes such features as a 47 diamond bezel, chronograph, curved sapphire crystal, luminous hands, stainless steel strap, black dial, date calendar, screw down caseback, and up to 50 meters water resistant. Another popular watch is the Accutron Women’s York 12 Diamond Watch. This elegant women’s watch features 12 diamonds, blue mother of pearl dials, quartz movement, date display, stainless steel bracelet, sapphire crystal, push button closure, and up to 50 meters water resistant. All the watches in this collection come with a five year warranty. One of the crowning moments at Bulova was the creation of the Accutron watch.
