Bulova Jet Star Precisionist 262 kHz Mens Watch 96B401.

Straight from the 1970s comes the Bulova 1973 Jet Star “F”, an iconic model from the brand’s 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 rich merlot dial is accented by silver-tone hands for a distinguished look. Luminescent markers 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 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, and with a sweeping seconds hand. The look is completed with a stainless-steel bracelet. Legendary style with the high-flying Bulova 1973 Jet Star “F”, a design recreated for the modern connoisseur. 

The Jet Star 96B401 has a case diameter of 40mm and thickness of 11.5mm with a lug width of 20mm with the lug to lug measurement of 45mm. The dial is a rich Merlot red with Silver & Black accents. The 96B401 is finished in full stainless steel and has a water resistance rating of 50m. 

The Jet Star series watches including the 96B401 are powered by Bulova’s proprietary high precision quartz movement, resonating at a frequency of 262khz for unparalleled accuracy. 

What we love: This historically relevant timepiece powered by a classic Bulova High-Beat Precisionist movement is a key piece in the brands history and a classic collectors item. The overall finish of the 96B401 as compared to its price represents excellent value for money. The Bulova 96B401 is a stylish and well-made watch with a highly accurate movement. Users appreciate its vintage aesthetic, smooth sweeping second hand, and durability. If you're looking for a quartz watch with a bit of history and a unique design, the Jet Star is a strong contender.
