Jet Star
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 gold-tone stainless steel case features a striking angular design with broad facets and a domed sapphire crystal. The warmth of the butterscotch sunburst dial is accented by a rich brown chapter ring, applied brown and gold-tone hour markers, and gold tone 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. A red seconds hand brings a pop of color and sweeps smoothly around the dial thanks to Bulova’s Precisionist movement, a revolutionary 8-jewel quartz mechanism vibrating at a remarkable 262kHz and accurate to 5 seconds per month with increased resistance to temperature changes. The Bulova 1973 ‘F’ Jet Star is paired perfectly with a brown leather strap with latched spring bars for easy release.

1973 a good year
Beautiful Watch. Reminds me of the Jet Star Watch my parents gave me in 1973. I wore it for 20yrs. Now I have approx 10 watches that I wear depending upon my mood. Most are Bulova watches.
Gorgeous watch
I ordered this watch online after seeing it at a Bulova dealer I ran across on vacation. Ordering directly saved me a couple hundred dollars. This is a beautiful watch that has the right weight and feels on the wrist. It's definitely a bit of 70s nostalgia. It's stylish but no garrish. Bulova is a great value for the money.
What!!
The NM50 movement is incredible. This 3 hand movement at 262khz is just not fair to some mechanical watches as the second hand mesmerizingly sweeps around dial. This is truly precision movement with only 8 jewels and most of my watches are mechanical and either have Solita, ETA and Miyota movement but this is a true thing of beauty to watch and the butter scotch dial is nutts. Bulova, you all did that and this is becoming one of my favorite watches. Great work!!
Family
