I understand that it is called a Jet Star. There is another one in the '70's watches, but they have the wrong movement listed because the one claimed is strictly a date movement, not day/date. I still have to find a movement ring, stem, and crown. It runs very well though
Good catch. I considered Jet Star, but could find no ads depicting it. Early on in mybulova, members could assign a name based on intuition, as opposed to documentation and discussion.
I just found this one, added in 2012 - https://www.mybulova.com/watches/1975-jet-star-4073
that is hang tagged as 11673-W, with no reference to a name. It was apparently speculated to be a Jet Star based on similarity of number designation to others with ad documentation.
It's a tough call, let's wait and see what the other panel members have to offer.

Thought you might find this interesting. I have always wondered if this was actually a Bulova works in some other maker's case. Part of this skepticism was based on the fact that the thread ring has never screwed into the case very well. Then a couple nights ago I run across this base metal version of the same watch, including the odd internally faceted crystal, but it has a different dial and a different back. I now believe that it is Bulova, perhaps international, but the seller didn't have the back or dial and fitted an almost fitting Bulova back to it.
