Bulova 1973 Jet Star “F” Precisionist Men’s Watch- 96B401:
Bulova 1973 Jet Star “F” Precisionist Men’s Watch- 96B401. The Bulova 1973 Jet Star “F” Precisionist Men’s Watch brings back an iconic design from Bulova’s legendary 1970s heritage, reimagined with cutting-edge technology for the modern watch enthusiast. Inspired by the original Jet Star model, this remarkable timepiece captures the bold spirit of the era with its distinctive 40mm stainless steel case, featuring sharp angular lines, broad faceted surfaces, and a stylish domed sapphire crystal. The combination of vintage-inspired architecture and contemporary craftsmanship creates a watch that stands out with confidence and character, making it a true statement piece for collectors and style-conscious gentlemen.
The highlight of the Jet Star “F” is its striking deep claret sunburst dial, which delivers a captivating display of rich colour and light reflection. The dial is enhanced with a contrasting black chapter ring, applied black and red hour markers, and matching silver-tone and red hands for a bold yet refined appearance. Luminescent hour markers and hand detailing provide exceptional visibility in low-light conditions, while the practical date display at 3 o’clock adds everyday functionality. Protected by a durable sapphire crystal, the dial remains clear and resilient against everyday wear.
At the heart of this exceptional timepiece is Bulova’s revolutionary Precisionist movement, an advanced 8-jewel high-frequency quartz mechanism vibrating at 262kHz. This innovative technology delivers remarkable accuracy of approximately ±5 seconds per month, improved resistance to temperature changes, and the signature smooth sweeping seconds hand usually associated with mechanical watches. Combining the reliability of quartz with the elegance of traditional watchmaking, the Precisionist movement represents one of Bulova’s greatest technical achievements.
Completing the design is a matching stainless steel bracelet featuring a secure deployant clasp and convenient latched spring bars for easy release and adjustment. With 50 metres (5 Bar) water resistance, the Jet Star “F” is suitable for everyday wear and still-water swimming.
