• Additional Information: Straight from the 1970s comes the Bulova 1973 Jet Star, an iconic model from the brands impressive history, now equipped with an equally impressive movement. Borrowing from its historic forebear, the stainless steel case features a striking angular design with broad facets and a domed sapphire crystal. The magnificently claret sunburst dial is accented by a black chapter ring, applied black and red hour markers, and matching silver tone and red hands. Luminescent plots at each hour and fill in the hands allow for exceptional legibility in every environment, while a date display sits perfectly at 3 o’clock. The new Jet Star is powered by Bulova’s Precisionist movement, a revolutionary 8-jewel quartz mechanism vibrating at a remarkable 262kHz, accurate to 5 seconds per month with increased resistance to temperature changes.

About the brand: One of America’s foremost manufacturers, Bulova was founded in the late 19th century by Joseph Bulova in Queens, NY. The brand quickly established itself as a maker of high quality watches, and became fully ingrained in American culture - even producing the first ever television commercial. Known for models like their Devil Diver, Sea King, and the later Accutron models, Bulova is something of the un-sung hero of American watchmaking, and a treasure trove for a vintage collector.
