Bulova Jet Star 96B472 continues the legacy of the iconic Bulova 1973 Jet Star “F” from the 1970s, offering a modern reinterpretation as part of the Archive Series. It combines timeless design inspired by the aesthetics of 1973 with advanced high-frequency quartz movement technology, ensuring exceptional accuracy and a smooth-running seconds hand.
Bulova has faithfully captured the appearance and overall feel of the original Jet Star and equipped the new model with an interesting movement, specifically the high-frequency Bulova Manufacture Precisionist High Precision Quartz movement. The movement is characterised by high accuracy and a smooth-running seconds hand (the original was powered by automatic movements and offered both day and date displays). The watch stands out not only for its design and finish, but above all for its reference to the 1970s, a decade associated with many significant models and events in watchmaking.
The watch's design faithfully reflects the character of the original model, from the barrel-shaped case with pronounced facets to the distinctive domed sapphire crystal, which is scratch-resistant and adds an interesting dimension to the watch. The silver dial with a sunburst finish is complemented by a grey minute track, prominent applied hour markers and baton hands. The hands and hour dots have a luminescent coating for improved legibility when moving into darkness.
The watch is supplied on a steel strap with a discreet butterfly clasp. The strap is easy to change thanks to the quick-release system, which can be useful as leather straps also suit the watch very well.
The watch is powered by a high-performance quartz movement, the NM10 (HPQ - High Precision Quartz), operating at a frequency of 262 kHz - almost eight times higher than conventional battery-powered movements. The result is a smooth movement of the seconds hand and high accuracy, with a deviation of only a few seconds per month. The movement has a date function at the 3 o'clock position.
The case diameter of 40 mm ensures that the watch fits virtually all men's wrists well. The model has a water resistance of 50 m, so it can withstand water when washing hands or in the rain, for example.
Bulova Jet Star 96B472 is a great choice for anyone looking for a watch with character, a story and advanced technology.

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.
