100x more reliable that the Jetstar you're thinking of. Here's a review by Just One More Watch for your consideration. Yes it's a quartz movement, but that seconds hand is something to behold.
Diameter: 40 mm
Lug-to-lug: 45 mm (!!!)
Lug width: 20 mm
Water resist: 50 m
Crystal: Single-domed sapphire
at double the price tho…
Oh, I agree. This model is a ripper price, if you like the colourway then it's a great deal.
I have the 96K112. The second hand sweep is smoother than my Hi-Beat GS.
Understand 262 kHz is an innovation, but would prefer not to have it on the watch face.
Why not, what else would you put there?
A lot of watches advertise 'Automatic', and this is a bit more special at least.
Couldn't really help myself at that price, I like that colourway too with the blue highlights. Gold probably the best but not for that price and I don't wear gold. They are all collectively good with no real standout winner.
Nice retro homage watch, but why is the webpage in greyscale?
A great price for a Jet Star watch, although I'm rather more partial to the 97B214. This is the same 262KHz quartz found in the Lunar Pilot. It's amazingly accurate and you'll probably never need to set the time again.
