Watch that was handed down to me.
A nice heirloom, thank you for sharing. After much digging, the earliest reference to this case is in 1963. t appears that this watch started out as a "dialed" watch and was converted. It is not uncommon and we classify such watches as "Spaceview", even though they may not have come from the factory as such. It appears per the earliest listing for this distinctive lug watch is 1963, and it was the watch seen below. It appears in the 1963-1967 Accutron Linebook as a 1963, with no representation in the 1961 or 1962 Likebooks.

This conversion was very likely done at or prior to initial purchase, and could possibly have been a dealer display sample showing the movement to customers, with this case not marketed as shown above in 1961 or 1962, it's really hard to say. I am just stating an opinion, not a verified fact....
