Product Description

The “565,” also known as the “Football Cross Hatch” watch made a statement when it was first released in 1966 because of its distinct Archimedean and Time Series spirals incorporated into the asymmetrical case design as seen in the crosshatch detail on the current bezel. Used by many period architects and interior designers, this is a prime example of Accutron’s connection to the unique American aesthetic. Drawing inspiration from the beautifully designed Le Kool champagne bottles with luxurious accents of metallic hues, this Accutron Legacy “565” features a 34mm stainless steel case with crown placement at 4 o’clock, a 3-hand silver white dial, bold hour markers and an outer minutes track, set on a blush metallic leather strap with two additional black and gold metallic leather straps.

Brand History

The Accutron, introduced by Bulova in 1960, was a groundbreaking electronic wristwatch featuring a tuning fork mechanism, making it the first of its kind. This innovation, developed by Max Hetzel, replaced the traditional balance wheel with a tuning fork oscillating at 360 Hz, driven by a transistor oscillator. The Accutron's precision was significantly higher than mechanical watches of the time, boasting an accuracy of 99.9977%, or about one minute per month.
