The diver version (photos #1 to #3 below) is a little special: there do not seem to be many electric or
electronic diver watches; this one could never have been waterproof with its flimsy
snap-on back!
Belforte also produced a "Spaceview" to rival the Bulova Accutron Spaceview. It employed a
modified LIP R 148 movement with the following changes: the base plate was polished, a slot was
cut in the base plate so the coil could be seen, the -ve battery
power lead was painted a bright yellow, the keyless mechanism had a black PVD-type coating and an additional
plate was added to hold back the hour hand gear. Many of these features can be seen in the genuine Belforte
Spaceview below (photo #4):
