Forstner A-12 Review

When it comes to watches that orbit the world of space travel, aviation, CIA lore, and exploration, some of the nerdiest reading you can possibly get into will involve the Bulova Accutron Astronaut. Seeing duty alongside Omega Speedmasters and Rolex GMT Masters, the Bulova Accutron Astronaut was officially supplied to CIA test pilots flying the Lockheed A-12, which saw its first test flight in 1962 as the predecessor to the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. These days, these watches are often difficult to find in good condition, require very specific servicing needs, and can fetch a high price. But in recent years, Forstner introduced the A-12—a modern reinterpretation of the Accutron Astronaut with vintage dimensions and an incredible bracelet. Here's our video review of this cool watch with a quick rundown on its history and more. Forstner A-12: https://forstnerbands.com/products/forstner-a-12
