Jet Star
Jet Star
Tout droit sortie des années 1970, la Bulova 1973 Jet Star est un modèle emblématique de l’impressionnante histoire de la marque, désormais équipée d’un mouvement tout aussi impressionnant. Empruntant à son ancêtre, le boîtier en acier inoxydable présente un design anguleux saisissant avec de larges facettes et un verre saphir bombé. Le magnifique cadran bordeaux à motif de rayons de soleil est rehaussé d’un anneau noir, d’index appliqués noirs et rouges et d’aiguilles rouges et argentées assorties. Des cadrans luminescents à chaque heure remplissent les aiguilles et permettent une lisibilité exceptionnelle dans tous les environnements, tandis que l’affichage de la date trouve parfaitement sa place à la position de 3 heures. La nouvelle montre Jet Star est animée par le mouvement Precisionist de Bulova, un mécanisme novateur à quartz à 8 rubis vibrant à une fréquence remarquable de 262 kHz, d’une précision de 5 secondes par mois, avec une résistance accrue aux changements de température et d’une trotteuse. Le boîtier en acier inoxydable est complété par un bracelet assorti, doté d’un fermoir déployant et de barrettes à ressort pour faciliter le relâchement. Arborez le style de la Jet Star 1973 de Bulova, un modèle légendaire recréé pour le connaisseur moderne.

Avis
What a wonderful time piece.
Awesome watch... looks more expensive than it is. Love love love the smooth secound hand. I look forward to wearing it everytime I were a color that will compliment the watch.
Been wanting this watch for a while and I finally pulled the trigger during Black Friday when Bulova had a sitewide 30% off sale. I absolutely love it. The sunburst burgundy dial that fades to black on the perimeter with the applied indices is such a beauty to look at. And let’s not forget about the smooth as butter sweeping seconds hand from the Precisionist movement inside. Something you can only find in a Spring Drive Grand Seiko that costs at least 10x more. One of my favorite watches in the collection that will be sure to see plenty of wrist time as long as I’m alive to wear it.
This is a fantastic watch. I love the smooth sweep of the second hand. I also love the accuracy. The red dial looks great and the bracelet is comfortable. I am so happy I bought this watch.
Fits great on the wrist, and the dial is an amazing burgundy that looks much better in person than in the product photos. Also the sweeping seconds looks much nicer than the “ticking” seconds on all other quartz watches.
Fantastic execution on an archive release, while incorporating a modern with the precisionist movement. The red is so red.

This watch looks great on the wrist. The case size fits nicely, and it's great that the bracelet has built in quick release metal straps. The deployant is easy and firm, and the deep purple maroon color looks great.
I just received the Red Jet Star in the mail today. Right out of the box, the watch is quite stunning. The sunburst dial is hypnotic in optimal lighting. The bracelet is very comfortable and a fingerprint magnet - but that is the price you pay for the flash. I am looking forward to keeping this on my wrist for the next few months. Definitely a daily driver for the proper setting. Would make an excellent gift to anyone who wears a watch.
I recently purchased this watch from a local dealer. The dial looks so much better in real life then in the stock pictures. It has a lot of heft to the watch, however the sizing of the case and the unique square H bracelet really impress me. The red hues remind me of the Mazda Soul Red Crystal paint as the color changes upon the angle of the light hitting it. I love the smooth second hand sweep and while I realize that the battery may need to be changed every 2 to 3 years the screw down case back and quick release band should make it an easy effort. Major negatives is that it does attract fingerprints easily and while it is domed there is still quite a bit of reflective glare from the sapphire crystal. An antiglare coating would have been appreciated. Beautiful watch overall, I love mine!

I purchased this watch for the smooth sweep of second hand and the incredibly accurate time. It hits it out of the park in both these parameters and the red wine color dial is exactly the right color
Excellently styled, can fit a multitude of wrist sizes, highly accurate with low maintenance quartz movement. The movement mimics the second hand of a high-beat mechanical movement. Fair price for what the watch is.
As I mentioned in a previous review, I purchased 2 Jet Stars: red dial and gold-tone dial. The red dial Jet Star has a comfortable steel bracelet and I really like the deployant clasp. The dial contrasts (dark red face with black chapter and silver and red hands) make it easy to read and add quiet elegance to the watch. The machining of the stainless steel case is superb. The HPQ is an accurate and precise movement.
I purchased my Jet Star directly bbbthe crimson red dial and it is amazing! The case and bracelet look and feel cheap. The highly polished parts of the case and bracelet look like fake plastic chrome. Bulova needs to take a page from Seiko and Citizen on their fit, finish and bracelets. I am being generous in rating this watch 2 stars. The only reason for 2 stars are the dial and movement. Everything else is a 1 star rating. Would I buy this watch again? Probably not!
Beautiful watch
The red Jet Star is a great addition to collection. The dial, case and bracelet facets catch the light in a stunning fashion. Whenever I want some bling, the Jet Star delivers. The watch shipped on time and arrived in perfect condition.
Amazing
Beautiful watch, amazing sweep, love the design. Just wish there was micro adjustment on the brace
Wedding Gift
It is perfect! My fiancé is going to love it! It’s beautiful .
First Bulova Purchase
I love vintage watches but like new and perfect. I was intrigued by the retro look and the Precisionist movement that is incredibly accurate and sweeps like an automatic. First impression is it's a bit smaller than I usually wear but I like it, still a decent size, nice finish, bracelet is solid and the sapphire crystal shines making a very nice casual, business casual watch. I set it to my computer clock and its accurate, light and comfortable to wear. I read the reviews, they were all excellent, I concur this is a very good watch at a fair price.
