The Bulova Jet Star pairs a broad, angular 1970s case with a seconds hand that glides rather than hops—a pleasing mismatch between its period styling and modern quartz engineering. The current model revisits a 1973 Bulova design, keeping the sculpted case and prominent dial furniture that give it such a distinctive wrist presence.

For that combination, look for the modern Precisionist-powered generation: its high-frequency quartz movement supplies the smooth sweep, so don’t expect the same mechanism in a vintage Jet Star. The red-dial steel version makes the strongest color statement; the gold-tone model takes the design in a warmer, more overtly retro direction. On the modern watch, pay attention to how those broad case shoulders sit on your wrist—the stated diameter tells only part of the story.
