Story & heritage
Bulova’s current Jet Star collection presents the line as a modern return to a 1970s design language, with the official US page listing 96B401 among the live models.
The red-dial 96B401 has become the recognizable enthusiast pick because it combines vintage color with the brand’s Precisionist timing story.
Materials & craft
Official listing copy places the model in a 40mm stainless-steel bracelet format with date display and sapphire-crystal positioning through retailer specs.
The main technical hook is Bulova’s high-frequency quartz character: smooth, precise, and visually different from a standard three-hand quartz watch.
How to choose & style
The Jet Star is the easiest Bulova icon to wear daily: sporty enough for weekend clothes, polished enough for a blazer, and vivid enough to keep the wrist from feeling generic.
