The watch had a variety of features, including a date function, luminous hands and markers for visibility in low light conditions, and a hacking function that allowed the wearer to stop the second hand for synchronization. It was also water-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor activities.
Today, the 1967 Accutron Astronaut Watch is considered a collector's item, sought after by watch enthusiasts and vintage collectors. Its historical significance, unique design, and association with the space age make it a highly prized timepiece.
