I don't recall ever seeing that dial configuration on an Astronaut before.
They made an Astronaut "T (Black Dial variant) and an Astronaut O with a (Silver dial variant).

I own both the 1968 original Astro T and the LE newer version Astro T released a couple of years ago.

Those are both pretty watches. I'm not nearly as familiar with the Swiss dials as I am with the earlier American ones. Mine is an M3.

Railroad Monday on the Vintage Accutron thread? I’m for it! Considering the tuning fork Accutron hasn’t been made for close to 50 years, is there such a thing as an Accutron that isn’t vintage? You’ve likely seen this one before. My Accutron 214 model from 1967 (58 years old) with a Canadian 24-hour dial, and double hour hand. I have often wondered if the dual hour hand had ever created confusion, with the wearer reading the wrong hand!

I am aware that the Spaceview has been made available, again. I’ve had a close look at one of these “tribute” Spaceview models. Nothing from a vintage Accutron is interchangeable with this overpriced thing. My understanding is that spares for this thing are not available. Bulova won’t (or can’t) service them, and the watch has to be sent to Citizen in Japan if repairs are required. Not a threat to real Accutron watches. They’ll never be a serious collectible in my view.
