Gray is a thing of the past. Orange, turquoise, or light green – Junghans is refreshing the dials of its new "1972 Chronoscope Sports Edition" models with these statement colors. Each of these color variations is limited to 200 pieces.
Sportiness is manifested in the form of a substantial, 43.3-millimeter stainless steel case, water-resistant to 10 bar, with numerous details. These include the counter-clockwise rotating bezel, as well as the crown and pushers, which echo the design of this new Junghans timepiece.
The dials have a matte finish and a color-coordinated double stripe. The blue and green models feature white stripes, while the orange model has black stripes.
Each dial features the number 6 in the form of a racing number. This is combined with the historic logo, which underscores Junghans' long-standing connection to classic motorsport. This is also reflected in the design of the color-coordinated leather straps, which are perforated in the style of traditional racing gloves.
Not only is the look of the "1972 Chronoscope Sports Edition 2026" sporty, but so is its movement. It is powered by the quartz caliber J645.83, which, in addition to the date and 24-hour display, also offers a stopwatch function. Times can be measured to an accuracy of 1/5 of a second.
The watches feature hands coated with environmentally friendly white luminous material, which contrasts with the dark dials. This ensures good readability both day and night.
Sportsmanship with tradition
Junghans demonstrates its sporting spirit not only through sporty wristwatches. The watch factory from Schramberg also sponsors successful top athletes and sporting events.
A love of sport in general, and of sports timekeeping in particular, has a long tradition at Junghans. This began in the 1920s with the first hand-held stopwatches and continued at major sporting events throughout the 20th century. Junghans operated its own department that developed technology for sports timekeeping and then deployed it at major competitions. As the official timekeeper, Junghans was present at motor races, Ski World Cups, rowing events, and track and field competitions. The highlight was undoubtedly their involvement in Munich in 1972, after which the "1972 Chronoscope" edition is named.
