Amazon.com Product Review

A great conversation piece, the Accutron Gemini stainless steel men's watch (model 26A09) features a unique sub-skeleton window at 12 o'clock that offers a view into the sapphire crystals of the automatic watch movement. It also offers an applique accent of Accutron's signature tuning fork. This large-sized timepiece features a raised bezel that frames the black dial, which is accented by a patterned center, full Roman numeral display, and luminous hands (with seconds hand). It's completed by a stainless steel bracelet band featuring small, squarish links and a double push-button deployment buckle. Other features include an exhibition caseback, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and water resistance to 100 meters--suitable for recreational snorkeling and light recreational diving.

An automatic (or self-winding) watch is fitted with a device (rotor) that automatically winds the spring by using the force of gravity. It needs no battery, but it will stop if you have been physically inactive for an extended period of time--as long as you're moving, the watch will stay powered. Swiss watchmaker Abraham-Louis Perrelet invented the self-winding mechanism in 1770. It worked on the same principle as a modern pedometer, and was designed to wind as the owner walked.

This review is from: Accutron Men's 26A09 Gemini Automatic Skeleton Window Watch (Watch)
All in all this will be one of the nicest watches you will ever put on.
Not too large, roman numerals, silver accents, skeleton window, exhibition case-back!
(Exhibition case-backs vary in attractiveness. This one is outstanding.)

Not too large (43mm) as compared to the Gold/White (28A116) version which I believe is 40mm.
There is also a silver on silver version which if I'm not mistaken is: Bulova 26A10, 43mm.

ACCUTRON watches are so accurate, its said that they lose a maximum of (1) second every year. Top marks from serious watch collectors.

No prominent functions to speak of, just the accuracy and fetching design a-la the tuning-forked window and jewel combination.

This one looks infinitely better in person!
I wont waste your time...

Go buy it! <~ but not if you don't like compliments.

Note: Sapphire Crystal is recessed and not domed to avoid scratching. However, the bezel is raised and its...Read more

I have owned this watch for 5 years now and this is hands down the best watch I have ever owned. Of the 8 watches that I own, this is the one I wear every day. It gets compliments constantly and functions perfectly!

I'm really impressed. Normally I would not buy an American watch because I'm sure you all know, Swiss-Made is the best. Well, this is Swiss-Made, haha, but it's an American brand. Bulova has come a long way from being one of the best to not and now back on track. This watch looks better than some of my other ones which cost a lot more than this one. The design with the partial open face and roman numerals with automatic movement is perfect. The bracelet matches the style of the face perfectly. Simply beautiful!
