Watch Description

This was a gift from my father and I would like to try and restore it to original condition.  It’s in decent shape but needs a new battery and a servicing.  I just located and ordered an original leather band but other than that know very little about it. Any info that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.  

Thanks!  

I think it’s an Accutron 218 skeleton?
M9 signifies that it was manufactured in 1969?

I don't recall seeing an open worked Accutron like this, only Spaceviews and I think they were all no date models.   I wonder if it was a jewelers cut away on a standard dial model.

Makes sense when it's an Accutron Spaceview with a calendar function...or a 1969 Accutron Calendar Spaceview.

Even though it's a little hard to see the 6 indicator is in fact the Accutron symbol as shown on the subject watch.

Well I totally missed that one in the line books.  Cool and unusual version.

WOW - I would have SWORN this was a hand cut dial. I never would have imagined it coming from the factory like this. VERY cool! This is one I have never, ever  seen.

I'm a huge fan of heirloom watches, you are most fortunate to have this beauty. Do you have someone to service it?

Thanks Geoff, I haven't gotten that far yet but would appreciate any recommendations you would have for any reputable service shops for these types of watches.

Wow is right. I'm amazed that it is a Bulova factory watch as well. First one I have ever seen.
