The Bulova Accutron debuted in 1960 as the first electronic watch, replacing the balance wheel with a 360 Hz tuning fork that produced a distinctive hum and a smooth, sweeping second hand instead of a tick. (Wikipedia) Guaranteed accurate to within a minute a month, it sold over four million units by 1973 across a wide range of case shapes and dial executions -- Spaceview, Astronaut, Alpha, and more -- with no single reference standing for the line.
