Accutron Vintage/Antique Watch: Bulova Astronaut "A", St.Steel, Automatic, Ca 1965 Questions & Answers
Accutron 2181 hums and second
With a watch of this age (assuming that it has been well used), it is likely that there is terminal were on the gears.
If you look closely at the mechanism when it has stopped, I would expect to seen a tooth that is more worn than the ones either side of it, causing the adjacent gear to miss engagement.
Comparison of teeth my be subjective, as I would expect many of the teeth to be showing wear.
I suspect that the only long term solution is a complete overhaul, if Accutron have the appropriate parts still in production.

I am trying to find
The name for your keepsake is accutron. The tuning fork represents the two coils. Having said that unfortunately if it no longer works their is little you can do. They have been out of production for some time now. But you can replace the entire movement, eBay will be the best place to start for a reasonable price. Your local jeweler will soak you. The most common battery replacement is a renata 394 although i cant be sure unless I see the movement.
My pearl necklace has broken
Contact a local jeweler and see if they do restringing. Most will charge approx $10 per inch.
Thank you for contacting FixYa.
