Accutron DNA 2ES8A001 – Electrostatic Technology in Its Purest Form

The Accutron DNA 2ES8A001 represents the modern evolution of Accutron’s groundbreaking technological legacy. Drawing inspiration from the iconic open-dial aesthetic that defined the brand’s early innovations, the DNA collection reveals the inner architecture of Accutron’s revolutionary electrostatic movement.

This reference features a silver-grey open-work dial accented by Accutron’s signature green outer minute ring. The open construction allows a glimpse of the turbines and internal structure beneath the sapphire crystal, reinforcing the futuristic identity that defines the Accutron Electrostatic collection. 

The watch is housed in a 45 mm stainless steel case finished in a combination of silver and grey tones, complemented by polished silver-tone hands and a turbine-inspired caseback bearing the Accutron logo. 

Completing the design is a sporty black integrated rubber strap with double-press deployant closure, delivering modern comfort while maintaining the bold contemporary profile of the DNA series.

The NS30 Electrostatic Movement

At the heart of the watch is Accutron’s proprietary NS30 Electrostatic Movement, an innovative approach to timekeeping that differs fundamentally from both mechanical and traditional quartz movements.

Electrostatic energy is generated through twin turbines that rotate rapidly between electrodes as the watch moves on the wrist. The resulting energy is stored within an accumulator and powers two independent motors:

• A world-first electrostatic motor driving the smooth sweeping seconds hand
• A step motor advancing the hour and minute hands

This architecture produces the fluid seconds motion that defines the Accutron Electrostatic collection and distinguishes it from conventional watch movements. 

To better understand how this unique technology works—and how it compares with other high-precision watch movements—read our guide to the Accutron NS30 Electrostatic Movement Technology.

Power Saving Function

The NS30 system includes an intelligent Power Saving Function designed to conserve stored energy.

After approximately five minutes of inactivity, the seconds hand automatically stops at the 12-o’clock position while the hour and minute hands continue keeping time internally. When motion resumes, the seconds hand gradually returns to the correct second indication and continues its smooth sweeping motion.
