High Precision Quartz? Not exactly. Why it's named wrong, but still great. Bulova Jet Star​

Apr 14, 2024

Today we will check out the Bulova Jet Star models. These 40mm beauties are a throwback to the 1973 models, but maintain a modern look to them. The best part about these models is they use Bulova's HPQ (High Precision Quartz) Precisionist movement, which boasts an accuracy of just 5 seconds per month! That is insanely accurate. Considering you have to change your watch 2x a year for DST, that means you pretty much will never have to set it outside of these 2 times a year.

We've got the 50th anniversary Limited Edition, as well as a beautiful claret dial, and golden dial for you to see.

Bulova Jet Star Limited Edition Watch with Precisionist Movement and Silver Dial #96K112​

Straight from the 1970s comes this limited edition 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 stainless steel case features a striking angular design with broad facets and a domed sapphire crystal. The vivid silver-tone sunburst dial is accented by a blue and red chapter ring, applied blue and red hour markers, and bold red 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.

The new 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 movement features a 3-pronged quartz crystal with a frequency of 262 kHz that is 8 times greater than standard quartz, leading to an accuracy of seconds a year.

Complementing the stainless steel case is a matching bracelet with a deployant clasp closure and latched spring bars for easy release. This limited edition model also includes a richly colored blue leather strap and is presented in special packaging with a numbered limited edition card. Strut your stuff in legendary style with the high-flying limited edition Bulova 1973 Jet Star, a legendary design recreated for the modern connoisseur.
