wide by
39.80 mm lug to lug.

This very collectible
Accutron "Astronaut C" is sought by watch dealers & Accutron collectors alike.
There are two "similar" Accutron's
models to this one. One is the "Astronaut A" that has an engraved
bezel, but it is rigid and does not rotate for time zone changes.
There is also an "Astronaut B" that does have a rotating bezel, but
unfortunately, has a plastic bezel insert that tends to wear, or
fall out. The Astronaut seems to be the most desirable of all the
rare & collectible Astronauts.
We just saw
one of the lesser expensive stainless steel Accutron Astronaut
models posted on other well known Accutron
Specialists website for $1895. This was for a watch that had zero
Gold in its content!!! The "quality" and rarity did not come close
to this 14 Karat Gold model!!!
"ALL" Accutron watches are getting
very hard to locate that are sharp, clean and well running. However,
Near Mint condition, Fancy, Asymmetric, or ultra RARE Accutron models
like this one are getting close to impossible to find!
If you like this watch, Buy it
Quickly. We only have one!! When you combine the extreme rarity of this
watch,,, its GORGEOUS condition and the extremely fair prices that

Many times potential clients see

try to shop around to beat our prices for a day, a week or several
weeks. When they come back realizing our merchandise is super, and
