Special Notes:  The first tuning fork prototype was developed in 1953 by Bulova.  Vintage tuning fork electric watches have batteries that power the mainspring and vibrates at 300Hz and higher depending on the watch manufacturer and model.  This makes the seconds hand sweep like an automatic watch instead of tick like a quartz watch.  This watch features an interesting bi-directional quick date set which allows you to turn the crown forward or backward to quick change the date.  Most quick set models only turn one direction.  This watch also features hidden lugs and a screw down case back.  Most of the other IWC Electronic Tuning Fork models have exposed lugs and snap back case covers.
