Ariel Adams of aBlogtoWatch reviews the Bulova Accutron II Surveyor ref. 96B213 watch new for 2014 with a highly accurate Precisionist quartz movement inside of it. It lacks the typical tuning fork movement in replacement for the quartz movement. The sweeping seconds hand is accurate to about 5 to 10 seconds a year. It has a steel case and attractive symmetrical dial.

One of Bulova’s very best. Clean, simple, sweeping and accurate; all in a brilliant proprietary movement.

[@momay25]

just got this in 2024. a flawless pre-owned. still up to date design in my opinion

[@theurbangentry]

Interesting concept, I really enjoyed the history of the movement, even if I am not that keen on the watch.

[@richardstevens8839]

The Urban Gentry I ended up buying the blue dialled version of this...

[@mugen1237]

Definitely going to get one of these. I have a collection of their vintage Accutrons and would love one of these.

[@richardstevens8839]

really like the blue one. did you get one?

[@mugen1237]

Richard Stevens I haven't yet. I like their Snorkels though. I'd always prefer the vintage ones, but if I ever found one of these Accutron IIs for around $100-$120, I'll probably buy it.

[@555Gear]

Great breakdown of the movement updates!

[@GrizzlyBearBob1]

Thank you Mr. Adams! An outstanding review as usual. I was unaware that there was a Precisionist 2 movement. I think this watch with the Precisionist 2 movement will be a hit with collectors! ....God bless, Bob

[@Itserikkotlarofficial]

this is gotta be the most beautiful movement ive ever seen thats so precise and affordable. 👍

[@eyeonlife]

Accuracy is actually +/-10 seconds a year. Pretty Impressive

[@Christopher-NYC]

10 years later what do you think? Do you still have it?

[@jonathanhansen3709]

Have one of these. Got it for $200. Very accurate! In fact only a Seiko Kinetic I have runs anywhere near as accurate. About a second a month off compared to WWV shortwave time signals (10Mhz) from Colorado.

[@donfoley1590]

Hi I just bought one of these, it seems very light towards the accutron alpha 11 which I have. I can hardly feel it on my arm. Should that be the case. Great blog by the way

[@solstar4778]

Love the second hand, but wish it had Arabic numbers on the face and a metal band for the wrist!

[@fkeopfkeop]

Thanks for the view.

[@christiankirkenes5922]

I have always wondered, does Ariel Adams drive an Ariel Atom?

[@tomasinacovell4293]

He doesn't even understand what "sweeping" means in respect to a seconds hand!

[@farkur]

May I know where can i buy this?

[@4FJM]

Is the watch face white or silver...hard to tell!

[@silverghost4206]

White.... Face dial of the watch is of white.....

[@yousefgeorge3060]

What size is this?

[@kuquoto]

fabulous watch!!!!! though take precisionist quartz move but maintain small and thin... great.

[@infiltrator7777]

It's a nice looking watch.

[@hayyuencheng]

Do anyone know the lug to lug (height of the watch).

[@umutaydogdu1502]

Bravo! It was great explanation 👍

[@speakout697]

Is this a dress watch??

[@youtuber-452]

Weight?

[@TypeSly]

Trust me when I say, the battery does NOT last two years. I've changed the battery twice in less than 2 years.

[@feijaychunayct9292]

mine is still running and its been over 2years

[@senotriusneo6354]

They should release this again. Was this a Swiss brand with this movement,it would cost 4k usd(Just cause they can). And journalists would be going Gaga over the ' new Swiss technology'.

[@Vot63]

These retro styles don't work without the convex dials and domed crystals, which gave the watch aesthetic movement. These somewhat austere styles look dull with flat dials and crystals.

[@axxionman69]

Very nice!

[@MrPleers]

I am a bit dissapointed that it doesn't have a tuning fork movement.

[@richardstevens8839]

that would have made the cost a lot higher

[@MrPleers]

I know. I like the watch anyway. And I would buy it , even without the tuning fork movement.

[@richardstevens8839]

MrPleers I have bought the 96B212 the blue dial, really nice

[@richardstevens8839]

MrPleers The watchden have pretty good deals, if make an offer on ebay, try to get it below £200

[@arthurserino2254]

15 seconds per month is nothing to get excited about. A generic quartz ETA is accurate to about 6 seconds per month. A modern Rolex automatic boasts the same accuracy as their original "Accutron".

[@yankeexpress]

Arthur Serino - Bulova claims accuracy of Accutron II of 6 seconds per month.

[@meyoumovie]

Eliminate the date, add 3-6-9 numerals and the watch would be Perfect.
Yes, giving the watch a similar look to the Explorer 1. They would sell like hot cakes :-)

[@technoswitch]

Nice

[@Darkswordz]

Let me go sell a kidney real quick so I can afford this watch. Brb.

[@Godblesseveryone4]

Yes I buy =

[@tomoxfford]

If anyone is selling one of these let me know

[@donfoley1590]

Lume is terrible on this watch

[@danielteegarden2143]

thank you. very good! BULOVA..... wrong.... NO WAY..... SHAME ON YOU BULOVA.

[@tomasinacovell4293]

You don't even understand what "sweeping" means in respect to a seconds hand!

[@SpartanCL1989]

Please elaborate "expert".
