Bulova Revamps 1970s Jet Star Watches
This 40mm Jet Star timepiece with gold-tone over stainless steel case and butterscotch dial is one of three new renditions of a Bulova 1970s classic.
"New York—Bulova has debuted three new Jet Star timepieces to its “Classics” collection.
Originally launched in 1973, the American watchmaker has dipped into the archives to reinvigorate the model.
The new models feature proprietary Bulova Manufacture movements and boast “extreme accuracy,” the watchmaker said.
The design hearkens to the Jet Star’s original era, however, with the same style hands, markers, and bracelets.
The original “turtle-shaped” case has been reimagined in a more angular, 40mm shape. The three dial colors have a dégradé effect and are rendered in the original Jet Star colors.
