Authentic Time is built on a simple idea: great watches shouldn’t sit forgotten. We find them, bring them back to life, and make them yours.
Now this is a super-cool and very unusual Accurist. The case back identifies it as an Official Timekeepers – Old Royal Observatory, Greenwich model, tying it to one of the most interesting periods in Accurist's history.
Accurist had a genuine partnership with Greenwich: it sponsored the Greenwich time clock from 1993 and in 1997 installed the satellite-controlled Millennium Countdown Clock at the Royal Observatory. Contemporary reporting also confirms Accurist produced Greenwich-associated watches during this period.
The watch has a substantial stainless-steel case and integrated bracelet with a highly detailed silver multi-function dial. Roman numerals surround the dial, with three subsidiary displays, contrasting black hands, yellow indicator details and a curved 1–31 date scale above the Accurist London signature.
The case back is particularly nice, carrying the large Royal Observatory Greenwich emblem, together with “Accurist Official Timekeepers – Old Royal Observatory” engraving.
This isn't just another standard Accurist. The Greenwich/Old Royal Observatory connection is genuine Accurist history, and that makes it a much more interesting watch for a collector. Accurist's Greenwich Millennium watches date from the late 1990s era surrounding the countdown to 2000.
