Bulova Accutron had an important place in history as an integral part of 46 missions of the US space program. Before the technology was available commercially, NASA requested its use in the development of the United States' greatest single engineering achievement, man's first landing on the moon. In addition to the role Accutron technology played in the missions leading up to the first manned lunar landing, on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin placed an Accutron timer in the Sea of Tranquility to control transmissions of data to earth.
