The original battery was a 1.35v MERCURY. The closest I can come witha
silver oxide battery is 1.5v. Although, some watches of this designheard
work fine with the SO battery, some run fast because the mechanical
oscillator (360hz) is over-driven, larger amplitude. You may have
of them, Bulova Accutron. The are very collectible and some models
bring more than a few grand.
Yes, I'm well aware of them. My dad had one in the early 70's, but he
traded it to my uncle for something or other. I suggest you ask the
group in alt.horology. I assume you have a 214 so, rather than risk
damaging/destroying a valuable watch, why don't you just shell out the
$15 for a real SO battery? A four pack can be had for "only" $50 here:

A truly amazing timepiece. I wish I had one.
