Junghans kicks off the new year with a splash of color
Junghans at Inhorgenta 2026: Hall A1, Booth 102
Gray is a thing of the past. Orange, turquoise, or light green—Junghans is refreshing the dials of the new models in the “1972 Chronoscope Sports Edition” with these statement colors. Each of these color variants is limited to 200 pieces.
Sportiness manifests itself in the form of an impressive 43.3-millimeter stainless steel case, water-resistant to ten bar, with many details. For example, the counter-clockwise rotating bezel, crown, and pushers, which echo the case design of these new Junghans timepieces.
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 start number. This is combined with the historic logo, which underlines Junghans’ long-standing connection with 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 does the 1972 Chronoscope Sports Edition 2026 look sporty, it also has a sporty movement. It is powered by the J645.83 quartz caliber, which offers a date and 24-hour display as well as a stopwatch function. Times can be measured to 1/5 of a second.
The editions feature hands coated with environmentally friendly white luminous material, which contrast with the dark dials. This ensures excellent readability both day and night.
Sportsmanship with tradition
Junghans demonstrates its sporting spirit not only through its sports watches. The watch manufacturer from Schramberg also sponsors successful top athletes and sporting events.
Junghans has a long tradition of love for sports in general and sports timekeeping in particular. 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 used it at major competitions. As the official timekeeper, Junghans was present at car races, Ski World Cups, rowing and athletics competitions. The highlight was undoubtedly the 1972 event in Munich, after which the “1972 Chronoscope” edition is named.
