Other: This rare 1973 Bulova Jet Star "D" is anything but ordinary! From the oversized 40mm stainless steel case with anodized blue inset bezel to the streamlined Bulova bracelet, its innovative aesthetic screams early '70s when brands weren't afraid to push the boundaries of traditional design. The exotic metallic silver sunburst dial with vibrant blue accents is as eye-catching as it is unique underneath a perfectly matching original silver/blue handset. This particular Bulova Jet Star "D" is in collector-grade condition and is really as good as it gets. As an added bonus, the Bulova 11 BSACB self-winding automatic movement has just been completely overhauled by our watchmaker. We are practically giving it away at this price... An original 1972 advertisement introducing the new Bulova Jet Star lineup says it all:

"We have the new BULOVA JET STAR. A watch designed for a man when he's ready to face the world. The Bulova Jet Star. It's rugged. It has all the features a man needs in today's world.
