Bulova 96B472 Jet Star Special Collection Watch Accessory

Iconic 1973 Jet Star Reissue

The Bulova 96B472 recreates the legendary 1973 Jet Star with a silver-tone stainless steel case featuring broad angular facets and a domed sapphire crystal. The silver sunburst dial includes a gray chapter ring, applied hour markers and luminescent plots for low-light visibility. A date window sits at three o’clock and the matching bracelet uses a deployant clasp with latched spring bars for quick release. This accessory suits collectors who value vintage-inspired design and modern precision.

Precisionist 262 kHz Quartz Movement

The watch runs on Bulova’s proprietary 8-jewel Precisionist quartz movement vibrating at 262 kHz, delivering a smooth sweeping seconds hand and accuracy measured in seconds per year. Enhanced temperature resistance keeps timekeeping stable across daily conditions. WR50 water resistance covers splashes, rain and brief immersion but not swimming or diving. Buyers needing ISO-certified dive ratings or mechanical automatic movements should consider other models.

Sweeping Seconds High-Frequency Quartz

The defining specification is the 262 kHz Precisionist quartz calibre that produces a continuous sweeping seconds hand instead of a traditional one-second tick. This high-frequency, 8-jewel movement achieves annual accuracy of seconds per year with superior temperature stability. If a smooth sweep and quartz precision are the priority, this model meets the requirement; if a mechanical movement or certified dive depth is required, this is not the correct choice.
