I have had my accutron
It could be that it needs cleaning. (When a watch is described as "automatic", it means that it is a mechanical spring driven type which needs to be worn constantly to keep it wound up; I assume that yours is one of these.)
Most makers recommend regular servicing at intervals of 2-3 years and as your is older than this, then perhaps it is time for a trip to their nearest service center.
Go to bulova.com to find your local service center.

Don't know what battery but a watchmaker will be able to help you for a very reasonable cost. He will also inspect the rest of your watch, case and band. Your watch will likely need the chronograph reset also.

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.

SETTING DATE&TIME
i cant get a manual for this but watches have standard mechanical function so maybe this will do.
the center crown of the watch right side of the picture, loosen the crown. Be careful, some crown have a screw function so if your bulova has this don't force to pull it to prevent damage. if you have loosen the crown, check if can be turn it, if yes pull gently the crown, first pull date adjust,second pull time adjust.
This is the proper way to adjust you day and time.
say you want to adjust your watch to (date)10th (time)10:15am
adjust your date to 9th, then move your watch hands clockwise until the date change at 12oclock this is the evening time (PM) continue moving your watch hands until you reach 10:15am.
if your crown is a screw time remember to turn it close tightly for waterproofing.
How to polish out bezel scratches
Use jewelers rouge, (a paste with very fine abrasive particles) and using a small amount on a piece of very fine cloth, rub gently in a circular pattern to buff out the scratches. You can find the rouge at a hardware store that sells Dremel tools and accessories.
