Salve, la risposta più esauriente e definitiva la potete trovare all'indirizzo seguente(in inglese):
http://www.bulova.com/about/faq.aspx#17.
Quest'indirizzo sono le FAQ del sito Bulova americano dove alla 17° domanda; dove posso trovare la batteria per il mio vecchio Accutron?, rispondono così:
A: The original mercury-based button batteries (cells) for these watches have become obsolete. The sale of mercury cells has been banned by law in some states because of environmental hazards. Major battery manufacturers have discontinued the production of these mercury-based cells.
Silver oxide-based watch cells, the type used in most of today's quartz watches, are available in sizes which can be used as substitutes for the most popular sizes of Accutron mercury cells.
There are, however, several important points which must be taken into consideration:
A silver oxide-cells is 1.55 volts, compared with a mercury cell's 1.35 volts. The use of this slightly higher voltage cell will not affect the performance of a correctly adjusted Accutron. If the watch does not operate properly with a 1.55 volt substitute, the fault is either an incorrect adjustment of the movement, or worn parts in the movement.
Using a 1.55V cell will not cause any damage to the movement.
The following chart will help you find a substitute battery for your watch:

ACCUTRON MODEL OLD BATTERY # NEW BATTERY #
218 343 344
214 387 387S
219 343 344
224 343 344
230 ladies 343 344
221 models 388 329*

*Slightly smaller in size than original battery
Penso che questa risposta possa dare una parola definitiva e una volta per tutte sull'argomento. Anche se poi si dovrà poi sempre lottare con i cat Bulova che non sono per niente d'accordo con questa affermazione che però giunge dalla ditta costruttrice del meraviglioso Accutron e perciò degne di fede.
