| Accutron was created in 1952 and was Bulova's answer to the upcoming electric watch trend. Bulova developed a tuning fork oscillator and by 1959 had completed production on a watch that was guaranteed accurate to within 2 seconds a day, or 1 minute a month. Accutron was finally introduced to the public in 1961, catching the world's attention with its unrivaled accuracy. In 1962 The Accutron 214 became the first wristwatch certified for use by railroad personnel and by 1967 only Accutron clocks were used aboard Air Force One. NASA eventually asked Bulova to incorporate Accutron technology into its space program equipment, and so it was used in panel clocks and instrument timers.
