The Most Complete Accutron Astronaut Variant Guide - Updated 8/20/2020 !
This "Astronaut Variant Guide" has need updating for a while now and it seems that hp2114b or Micah Mabelitini has no intention of maintaining this guide and keeping it updated so I've added all the latest confirmed Accutron Astronaut information available to a "Complete Accutron Astronaut Variant Guide" which should help people with genuine Accutron Astronauts that have felt left out in the cold by Micah Mabelitini's now inadequate and out of date Astronaut guide.
I can guarantee this updated guide is the most complete and confirmed accurate Astronaut guide ever published to date ! I will be updating this guide as new facts are confirmed so check back.......
---------
Bulova released numerous cosmetic variants of the Accutron Astronaut and it seems that each Astronaut variant is designated with a single letter or what Bulova calls it's "Style Name". Historically, collectors have struggled to fit their strange-looking Astronaut into the confusing and woefully incomplete reference provided by the Complete Price Guide to Watches, the most well-known watch guide in the world. The guide lists three letter designations: Astronaut "A", "B", and "C", and list multiple cosmetic variations under each designation. From the designation scheme seen in actual Bulova ads, they confirm the existence of an Astronaut "C", "H", "J", "L", "M", "N", "O" and "T" all of which are cosmetically unique. From Bulova sales books they confirm the existence of an Astronaut "K". In the case of the Astronaut "O" and "T", and the "J" and "K" the only difference between the two variants is dial color. From an official Bulova crystal catalog the existence of a letter designation (Bulova Style Name) for an Astronaut "D" and an Astronaut "E" are confirmed and it also confirms the "Complete Price Guide to Watches" listing of the Astronaut "A", "B" and "C" as being correct. That brings the confirmed list of Astronaut letter designations (Bulova Style Names) to "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "G", "H", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", and "T" !
UPDATE - and now for the first time ever from a 1965 newspaper ad the previously unknown Astronaut "G" has been confirmed !!!
Assembled here is a complete list of all known factory Astronaut variants, based on 15 years of research from Micah Mabelitini, SAM2, Accutronitis, and other reputable sources which now includes the latest up to date and confirmed information available.
Instead of adhering to Bulova's fragmented system, we present here an alternate classification, based on the bezel and dial types. If your Astronaut does not look exactly like a variant described here, it is likely that it is not completely original. Bulova did occasionally issue odd cosmetic variants of some watches, but such variants are rare and difficult to authenticate.
Under this classification system, all Astronaut variants fall under one of four families, hence referred to as Type 1, 2, 3 and 4. Type 1 includes all standard Astronaut variants, with the standard painted dial and standard bare-metal bezel. Type 2 includes all Astronaut variants with an enhanced (applied markers) dial and a standard bare-metal bezel. Type 3 includes the models with a day/night bezel, and Type 4 includes the Swiss models with black bezel.
There is a good bit of mix-and-match among Type 1 Astronaut variants. It is possible that other factory-produced dial/hand combinations exist within the range of known Type 1 variants. However, variants of Type 2, 3 and 4 are completely monolithic. If you have an Astronaut with an unspecified mix of features, such as a Type 3 bezel and a Type 4 dial, or Type 2, 3 or 4 Astronaut with spear-style hands or a luminous seconds hand, the watch is not factory original.
Take special note that hand color and applied marker color must always match case color and non-luminous hands with non-luminous dials/ luminous hands with luminous dials.
-----------------

Standard Stainless Steel: Bare metal stainless steel with engraved black numerals and half-hour indices; used on USA and Swiss Type 1 variants.

First-year stainless steel Astronauts with the Kreisler 'Coffin-Link' bracelet can only be confirmed to be of the applied logo clasp type, The stainless steel Astronauts used the Kreisler 'Coffin-Link' bracelet starting with their introduction to the general public in very early 1962 until sometime in late 1963/early 1964, And starting in late 1963/early 1964 and on the JB Champion 'Bullet-Link' bracelet was used. The Ultra Enhanced 18kt Astronaut "C" is confirmed to have come with a Solid 18kt JB Champion 'Bullet-Link' Bracelet. It is currently unknown whether or not bracelet type was a distinguishing factor in Bulova's original designation system.
------------------
Band Variants
Note - The buckle's color must match the color of the bezel!
A leather band has been confirmed for the first time ever from a 1965 newspaper ad featuring the previously unknown Astronaut "G" !
It seems to be a slightly lower cost version of the Astronaut being sold in 1965, The Astronaut "G" with its factory install leather band cost $165.00 versus the Astronaut "H" being sold that same year and with its factory-installed bracelet costing $10.00 dollars more at $175.00.
