About the Item
An early original example of a hard to find Accutron Astruanaut l 71960 M3 with signed dial and a recent fully in depth documented service in 2023 with the watch being from 1963. Complete with original bracelet.
38mm stainless steel case with steel rotating bezel. Black dial with beautifully naturally aged hands and hour markers that have gone a wonderful creamy yellow colour over time which appears to be original as do the hands.
Replacement acrylic crystal added at recent service.
Fitted to original steel coffin link bracelet and folding clasp to fit a wrist snugly up to 7.5inches.
This Bulova powered watch has remarkable history having been used by Nasa for various satellite missions to space. It was the tuning folk technology that won Bulova this prestigious accolade and so this watch and its movement should rightly have a place in history alongside the much more famous Omega Speedmaster 'Moonwatch'.
Complete and very though service papers accompany this watch.

Omega Seamaster 300 165024-64
By Omega
Located in London, GB
A real treasure and wonderful find, This Omega Seamaster 300 has been worn daily by its last 2 family owners up until the last few s years at which point it was locked away in a drawer.
We have purposely done very little work to this watch but what we have done we will point out.
It has an original black dial with original hands. Bezel may be slightly later from a service. Well worn in places with the case as you would expect showing lovingly worn marks and scratches. It appears to have never been polished with the plexiglass appearing original too.
The dial has aged and naturally discoloured to give a real genuine vintage feel and look to this Seamaster. It looks to be a really honest example of what it is which is an early 60's Seamaster 300!
Our watchmaker has been through to the watch to ensure it is working as well as it can be mechanically and is now reading +/- 9 seconds per day.
We have made one or two changes out of necessity, the strap fitted to this watch is a new authentic, black with grey lines, Omega Nato...
