Accutron Watches Bulova Accutron 'Delta Wing' - (Ref. 40992944/AS11764) Product Details

In the early 1970s, the future didn’t tick — it hummed.

This Bulova Accutron 218, produced in 1967 (as confirmed by its “M7” caseback date code), represents one of the most fascinating chapters in American watchmaking history. Powered by the legendary Accutron Caliber 218 (Bulova’s legendary battery-driven tuning fork movement), this isn’t a traditional mechanical watch. There’s no balance wheel oscillating inside. Instead, an electronically powered tuning fork vibrates at 360 hertz, delivering a smooth, hypnotic sweep and an accuracy that Bulova claimed was within one minute per month, a staggering performance for its era.

Introduced as the successor to the iconic 214, the 218 series refined the formula. Most notably, it returned the crown to a more conventional position (often at 4 o’clock), making it easier to set and wear in everyday life. The "M7" code indicates the year of production. The "M" signifies the 1960s decade, and the "7" indicates the specific year 1967.

And that dial! A lovely grained silver dial with applique indexes complement the gilt dial and case. It’s pure 1960s optimism, bold, modern, slightly space-age, yet surprisingly wearable today. The case proportions feel architectural, grounded, and substantial without veering into excess. This particular piece is fashioned from 14K gold with a lovely gilt hue. It is notably asymmetrical with a wing on the right side of the case.

The Accutron line famously found its way onto the wrists of astronauts, pilots, and even into cockpit instrumentation, cementing its reputation as the watch of the electronic age. This 218 Day-Date captures that spirit in a form that feels both forward-thinking and distinctly vintage.

The sound of 1960, still resonating.
