Bulova Classic Jet Star: Vintage Vibes and Ultra High Frequency Quartz

The Classic Jet Star collection welcomes three exquisite models that embody refined aesthetics and meticulous attention to detail. Inspired by vintage designs, these timepieces not only pay homage to the brand’s legacy, but also integrate Bulova manufacture’s proprietary movements, showcasing its commitment to innovation and accuracy.

Powering the new Jet Star watches is the Bulova Precisionist high performance quartz movement, a technological marvel. With an astounding 262kHz vibrational frequency, these timepieces achieve unparalleled accuracy, deviating by no more than +/- 5 seconds per month. The movement’s smooth sweeping seconds hand beats 16 times per second, adding a touch of grace to the watch’s precise timekeeping.

While embracing the spirit of the 1973 model, the new Jet Star timepieces have undergone subtle contemporary transformations. The iconic turtle-shaped case has evolved into an angular 40mm silhouette, exuding a modern allure. Meanwhile, the original dial colors from the bygone era make a captivating return, showcasing a mesmerizing dégradé effect.

The first Jet Star model graces the wrist with a stainless steel case and a rich merlot dial, embodying timeless sophistication. Complementing its allure is a matching stainless steel bracelet equipped with a double press deployant buckle. The second model captivates with a butterscotch dial, encased in a gold-tone stainless steel case. Its sportier appeal is accentuated by a perforated brown leather strap adorned with yellow contrast stitching and a three-piece buckle.

Notably, Bulova presents a limited edition stainless steel bracelet model that takes exclusivity to new heights. Encased in a special numbered box set and accompanied by an extra blue leather strap, this exceptional timepiece features a pristine silver-tone dial embellished with blue accents, red hands and indexes. With only 7,300 pieces available, this limited edition watch is a testament to Bulova’s commitment to craftsmanship.

The Classic Jet Star collection boasts features that ensure both durability and versatility. Each timepiece showcases a domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, luminous hands and cabochons at the hours, a convenient date window at three o’clock, 50 meters of water resistance, and interchangeable bracelets and straps with easy-release latched spring bars.

Watch enthusiasts will appreciate the arrival of Bulova’s vintage-inspired Classic Jet Star timepieces, which will be available for purchase exclusively on Bulova’s website. Whether you seek to enrich your watch collection or simply appreciate the seamless integration of timeless design and cutting-edge technology, these new models are poised to captivate discerning individuals.
