Picked up two of these watches the other day I was wondering if this is what they consider a bulova accutron astronaut watch both our 25 year service for what looks to be KS I haven’t change the batteries yet to see if they work I will do in a couple of days thanks for looking

I know it is the watch folks use to turn into an Astronaut Space-view. That hum when it’s working is pretty cool.
 

No the astronaut watches usually had a bezel. This would be considered a standard Acutron and would have a model number only. Even if it does run you probably want to have it serviced. Remember the batteries going upside down and if it doesn’t start up tap it with a big rap. Sometimes That can get him jumpstarted
 

It's the model 214, back set. That was the first of the series. I now only have one early Accutron left in my collection and it's the 214. I was looking at a used Bulova Precisionist 262 kHz at the pawn shop last weekend. I didn't get it, but it was priced at what I saw others like it selling on Ebay, but next month they'll lower the price even more, so maybe I'll pick it up then if its still available.
