The Spaceview Evolution pushes Accutron's electrostatic line in a new direction with a forged carbon dial, giving each piece a swirling, one-of-a-kind color pattern rather than a uniform finish. The dial's outer surface is now closed off, so the carbon pattern reads as a solid visual statement, while cutouts left in the center still expose the watch's signature spinning turbines, silver-tone bridges, and blue screws underneath.
It comes in two colorways: a red forged carbon dial on a brown suede strap, and a blue forged carbon dial on a matching navy strap. The case measures 43. 5mm across and 15. 91mm thick, machined from stainless steel and topped with a sapphire crystal. LumiNova-treated hands and hour markers keep the dial legible in low light despite its unique carbon pattern, and water resistance sits at 50m/5 Bar – suited for incidental exposure and still-water swimming rather than diving.
Each version closes with a folding clasp on a matching suede strap, brown for the red dial and navy for the blue. Inside is the NS30, Accutron's proprietary electrostatic movement and the first of its kind in the industry. Twin turbines spin at high speed off ordinary wrist motion, generating a static charge between two electrodes that's stored in an accumulator.
That stored energy runs two separate motors: an electrostatic motor driving the sweeping second hand, and a step motor for the hour and minute hands. To conserve power, the second hand parks itself at 12 after five minutes of inactivity; giving the watch a firm swing for a few seconds wakes it back up and lets the second hand glide back to the correct position. Accuracy is rated at -/+5 seconds per month.
