Watch Description

This is a 1964 Accutron Spaceview.  I suspect it is a conversion.  I have not opened the movement but assume it to be a 2180.

The movement model is obviously not a 218.

I would say a conversion. 

Dealers would often convert Spaceviews while the customer waited, back in the day. It depends on the model, of course, and there was a limited supply of certain Spaceview crystals. Generally though, there was a lot of this going on then, as now.

Spaceview - probable conversion. Nice watch.

I don't know much about these yet but that looks like a match to me.
