The Accutron Gemini Chrono is an amazing value. The watch has been beautifully finished and for the price you can't find a comparable watch with Valjoux 7750 movement. It's a "star" in my collection....
This watch is hands down the best bang for the buck automatic around. It's great looking and can be worn with anything. The movement is proven and is found in watches from 1000 to 3000 dollars; I paid 500. I even got the manufacturer's 5 year warranty through mytimepiece.com. Highly recommend this watch to anyone.
As a current owner of a Citizen Calibre 8700, I wanted something with a brown leather strap and a little higher end, but that would still function in a similar fashion. The Accutron Gemini 26C02, for nearly half of retail cost on Amazon (great service from seller MyTimepiece.com BTW), is a superb way to own a mechanical Swiss watch without shelling out thousands of dollars. It has day and date, second hand for time keeping, and the ability to wind it both from the crown or simply by wearing it. The watch is nice and big and looks incredibly classy with a t-shirt or dress shirt. The addition of a view window on the back is nice for seeing the 7750 movement in action. Not much more to say than that you would be hard-pressed to find a better sub-$1000 watch that looks this good and functions so well. Last watch I plan on purchasing for a few years, until I can save up for an Omega.
I bought this watch for my husband, last month for Christmas. As an automatic, self-winding watch, you never know how good any particular one will keep time. This one has kept accurate time, has a good power reserve, and is VERY east to wind, when needed. Also, the price makes it an excellent value for a casual style automatic watch--many other casual styles are well over $1000 and do not look nearly as nice as this one. I wish Accutron made one for women!
I bought this product for Christmas and had a lot of expectations. I have to say that it does look well. However on the second date it just stopped working. I wind it several times and it started again. However few hours later it stopped again. And I was wearing it all the time. The same happens in 3-4 consecutive days. Finally I have decided to return this item. I was very, very disappointed!!!

A great match for both professional settings and sporty casual couture, this Accutron Gemini stainless steel men's chronograph (model 26C02) matches an elegant design with the powerfully precise, 25 jewel Valjoux 7750 automatic movement. This large-sized, round watch features a rounded, stepped bezel that frames a black patterned dial face. It's complemented by three chronograph subdials, luminous dagger hands, small minute/seconds indexes, large day and date window at 3 o'clock, and tachymeter readings around the exterior (which can be used to measure time over distance). It's completed by a brown leather strap with distressed texturing. Other features include a domed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, screw-back with exhibition window, and water resistance to 50 meters (165 feet)--suitable for swimming but not for diving. An automatic (or self-winding) watch is fitted with a device (rotor) that automatically winds the spring by using the force of gravity. It needs no battery, but it will stop if you have been physically inactive for an extended period of time--as long as you're moving, the watch will stay powered. Swiss watchmaker Abraham-Louis Perrelet invented the self-winding mechanism in 1770. It worked on the same principle as a modern pedometer, and was designed to wind as the owner walked.
