Accutron�s work with the United States space program as well as the increased popularity of space exploration led to the design of one of the most unique Accutron timepieces the Date and Day �Q.� launched in 1971. Featuring an oval shape the watch is inspired by the 1970�s orbital style with nods to the flying saucer shaped television popular during this time period as well as the 46 NASA space missions the brand was part of including many orbiting missions in which Accutron was integral for timing requirements. It was nicknamed the flying saucer or the up/down referring to the placement of the day and date on the dial.
