Bulova 96B415 Jet Star is a reminder of one of the brand’s iconic models, Bulova 1973 Jet Star „F“, this time from the 1970s, since 50 years will pass this year since its launch. Bulova faithfully captured the look and overall impression of the original Jet Star model and fitted the new model with interesting movements, specifically high-frequency Bulova Manufacture Precisionist High Precision Quartz movements. The movement is characterised by high accuracy and a smooth seconds hand sweep (the original was powered by automatic movements and offered a day and date display). The watch attracts not only with its design and workmanship, but above all with its reference to the 1970s, which we associate with many significant models and also events in the watchmaking field.
The Archive Series line, aiming to recall iconic Bulova models that have entered history through their designs, use, etc., after very successful models such as Bulova Lunar Pilot, Computron, Devil Diver and others, comes with a reinterpretation of the iconic 1970s model Bulova 1973 Jet Star „F“.
The case of the Bulova 96B415 Jet Star watch is made of stainless steel and its design is based on the Bulova 1973 Jet Star „F“ watch. The watch is powered by a powerful quartz movement NM10 (HPQ - High Precision Quartz), operating at a frequency of 262 kHz. This is about 8x more than standard quartz movements (32768 Hz). Thanks to this, it is possible to achieve high accuracy with a deviation in the range of ± 5 s / month.
The perfectly legible burgundy red dial with applied indices and clear hands is protected by a raised sapphire crystal with high scratch resistance. The battery-powered movement, operating at a frequency of 262 kHz, offers a date display at the 3 o’clock position. The watch is supplied on a steel strap. You can easily change the strap thanks to the quick-release system, which can be useful, because leather straps also suit the watch very well. The case diameter 40 mm ensures that the watch fits great on virtually all wrists. The water resistance of the model is 50 m.

The story of the Bulova brand begins in 1875 and has its roots in Bohemia. The founder was a Czech native Josef Bulova, who founded the J. Bulova Company in New York. He managed to build a large watch factory. In 1912, production was moved to Biel, Switzerland. In addition to the development of technological innovations, the company also scored in the field of marketing. She was the first to use television commercials.
Bulova achieved the greatest success in the development of electronically powered watches. The highlight was the introduction of a system with a tuner called Bulova Accutron. Another astronaut, David Scott, took care of another legendary moment. During the Apollo 15 mission, he took the Bulova Chronograph watch for a walk on the moon.
The Bulova brand is not idle and continues to offer top products in the field of precision. The offer includes a high performance quartz movement operating at a high frequency (262 kHz) with an accuracy of about 10 s per year, or the Curv movement, which is also the first curved movement with a chronograph in the world.
