Bulova Accutron 214 TE-10 12 Hour Military Cockpit Panel Clock/\"Watch\" Restored:
$2099.00

1969 Moon Landing Year.

Fully Serviced!

USA made TE-10 12 Hour Dial Military Cockpit Panel Clock/\"Watch.\"

This is Numbers Matching case back (M9), and pillar plate (Undated but correct year and Pillar Plate Gold Tone color Caliber 214 with Hack spring).

Correct 12 hour dial and hand set (with the correct factory painted Railroad Hour and Minute hands and \"Cone\" style Sweep Second Hand that was used on these later models of this clock).

1 1/4\" x 1 1/4\" x 1/2\" deep.

I installed this in table top \"menu holder\" with a friction fit so that it can be removed easily. I put rubber feet on the bottom to minimize vibration of the clock.

It is also easy to change the time and battery in the \"standard\" fashion.

I also added a copy of an Accutron Post Card that was sent out after the successful Moon Landing.

It is mounted \"inside\" the acrylic \"photo holder\" with for easy removal if you prefer to install a different item.

The display is approx. 6 1/2\" w x 5\" h.

I also installed bolts/nuts that were drilled to accept curved Spring Bars and a \"rubber strap\" to use this sparingly/gently as a \"watch.\"I don\'t suggest using it this way for any serious amount of time... do so at your own risk.

To install it in the picture frame... just remove the nuts/bolts/spring bars/strap an slip it into the hole... it\'s a friction fit for easy Important Timepiece in History.

ThEAccutron 214.

NOTHING else compares.

LONG before Omega hitched a ride... on the coattails of Accutron...
This was in Space.
In Satellites.
On Astronaut\'s wrists.
In Rockets.

Then Omega bought a ticket to ride...

Back Set!

Electro Magnetic Tuning Fork!

The first successful, and BEST, Electronic Timepiece!

The only timepiece that MUST be in every Watch Lovers collection!

The Caliber 214 TuningFork cleaned inside and out.

Original mineral glass crystal.

Disassembled the case and bezel to deep clean/lubricate/reset.

This is adjusted the conventional way that Accutrons are set... from the back set crown.

Fully disassembled the movement for Index Wheel, top jewel and spring were installed.

Disassembled, cleaned and oiled all of the friction points and regulated the timing torun properly on the modern readily available and inexpensive 1.55v 387S battery (or 394 if you already have the plastic battery insulator).

Friction points and setting crown greased/oiled!

New \"Clark\" 735 & 736 Battery Hatch and Case Back Gaskets installed.

Fully disassembled and cleaned the case including the battery cover and back set crown.

This is the original and correct case back, bezel, hands, and finishes.

This has been adjusted to run \"Dead on balls accurate,\" as Marisa Tomei (My Cousin Vinny) would say... within the original Bulova Spec\'s for the time of issue.

No need for any \"tricks\" (diodes) oradd onsthat might upset the Coil Assembly.

\"Why fix it if it ain\'t broken?\"

No need for changes tothe Electronics.

No need to alter and stress the electronics on this beauty... thereby devaluing it!

Why \"coat\" the Coils... adding stress and trapping the windings andlimiting movement?

70% of the Coil issues are on the Battery side (due to owners using incorrect batteries back in the day)... NOT the Component side!

Stop wasting time over-offerding Frankensteined FAKES, from the U.K., when you can have the genuine article.

Why buy an over \"engineered\" parts bin mess from a part-time \"hobbyist\" who throws togethera multitude of parts?

What value does that havenow... much less in the future?! It\'ll be nothing more than what it is... an alteredmess and a future candidate as a parts bin part out. That\'s what they were assembled from now... and that\'s how they will be \"utilized\" in the future!

I use the Mobiusproducts that were specified by Bulova and I install new gaskets.

I workonthese the Old Schoolway.

I am not aPart TimeHobbyistdoing this after my day job... and I see no reason to alter these... it only decreases their value.

The goal is to get these right... so that we can enjoy and preserve these Historic works of Horology/Engineering/Art.

I send these out double boxed to protect them, with a multi page Instruction Set, an extra battery, insured, with Signature Confirmation Service... and I hand deliver them to USPS for receipt in hand so that we are BOTH covered!

I do these RIGHT because I LOVE them.

If you want cheap, badly thrown together FAKE CRAP at a \"low\" price point... I\'m NOT \"your guy!\"

There are plenty of people out there destroying classic Accutrons (look for the Chop Shops in CA, the UK, PA, FL, OR, VA, GA, Bulgaria, etc. spitting out parts bin Frankensteins by the dozens to unsuspecting noobs).

Would you accept this behavior for cigars, cars, watches, etc.?!

SAVE the 214!

Be the ONLY one on YOUR block!
