The Bulova Jet Star 96B472 builds on the legacy of Bulova' s iconic 1973 Jet Star "F" model from the 1970s, bringing a modern reinterpretation to the Archive Series. They combine a timeless design inspired by the 1973 aesthetic with advanced high-frequency quartz movement technology that ensures exceptional precision and smooth running of the seconds hand.

Bulova has faithfully captured the look and overall feel of the original Jet Star model and has fitted the new model with exciting movements, namely the Bulova Manufacture Precisionist High Frequency Quartz movement. The movements are characterized by high precision and smooth running seconds (the predecessor was powered by automatic movements and offered both a day and date display). The watch impresses not only with its design and workmanship, but above all with its reference to the 1970s, which we associate with many important models and events in the watchmaking field.

The design of the watch faithfully reflects the character of the original model, whether it is the barrel case with distinctive facets or the typical domed sapphire crystal, which is scratch-resistant and adds an interesting dimension to the watch. The silver dial with a sunburst effect is complemented by a grey circle with minute markers and distinctive applied indices at the hour positions, along with baton hands. The hands and hour points bear a luminescent coating to ensure better legibility during the transition to darkness.
The watch comes on a steel bracelet finished with an understated butterfly clasp. The bracelet is easy to change thanks to the quick-change system, which can come in handy as the watch is also very flattering on leather straps.

The watch is powered by a powerful NM10 (HPQ - High Precision Quartz) quartz movement, operating at 262 kHz - almost eight times higher than conventional battery-powered movements. The result is a smooth second hand movement and high running accuracy with a deviation of just a few seconds per month. The movement is equipped with a date function at the 3 o'clock position.

The 40 mm case diameter ensures that the watch fits perfectly on virtually all men's wrists. The water resistance of the model is 50 m, so it can withstand water, for example, when washing hands or rain.

The Bulova Jet Star 96B472 is a great choice for anyone looking for a watch with character, story and cutting-edge technology.
