It has been said by others that the Accutron watch was developed by the Bulova Watch Company as a response to a perceived requirement by the American Army for a better time standard.
Bulova Technical Documentation states quite clearly that the watch was developed entirely as a consumer item, with no funding from any outside source. Still, it might be fair enough to imagine that the potential military applications hadn't gone unnoticed by Bulova management. The CEO of Bulova at the time was Omar Bradley, 5 Star General, US Army, Retired. All research undertaken was performed by Bulova engineers in their own labs.
Production of tuning fork Accutrons ceased in 1977, with Bulova directing their efforts to producing quartz watches. The name "Accutron" is still used by Bulova on some of their quartz watches, though the Bulova name is now owned by a company in Hong Kong. These watches bear no relationship at all to the Tuning Fork watches we are discussing here. It is a great shame that when the Bulova company was sold, a part of the advertising of the sale included footage of all the Accutron manufacturing machinery being destroyed, including the specially modified "Micron" brand hobbing machine used to make the index wheels.

During training for the Gemini 3 mission, Virgil 'Gus' Grissom wore an Accutron Astronaut borrowed from backup pilot Wally Schirra. Grissom purchased a replacement Astronaut for Schirra after the Gemini 3 flight, which was finally given to Schirra by Grissom's widow after his death in January 1967

Enlargement of Cooper's Accutron Astronaut, an Astronaut 'A' with what appears to be a non-standard Kreisler herringbone bracelet. The exact time on Cooper's watch reads 14:19:23; the rotating bezel is set at +5 hours, indicating GMT versus Florida time.
