The German Junghans 1972 Chronoscope Sports Edition 2025 Limited Edition 41/4578.00 watch combines 1970s style with modern technology. The watch references 1972, when Junghans was the official timekeeper of the Summer Olympic Games in Munich. This limited edition of just 200 pieces references Junghans’ rich history as a timekeeper at many sporting events.
The Junghans 1972 Chronoscope Sports Edition 2025 Limited Edition 41/4578.00 watch is fitted with a battery-powered J645.83 movement, based on the Japanese Seiko VK63A. The stopwatch can measure elapsed time for up to 60 minutes. The subdial at 3 o’clock serves as a 24-hour time indicator. The date display is located between 4 and 5 o’clock. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, which is highly resistant to scratches. An anti-reflective coating ensures excellent legibility even in bright sunlight. The case has a diameter of 43,3 mm and is made of stainless steel. Water resistance is 100 metres (10 ATM), so the watch can also be worn while swimming.
This limited edition of just 200 pieces references Junghans’ rich history as a timekeeper of sporting performances. Around 100 years ago, Junghans was already producing stopwatches for sports timekeeping, and later even had a separate department for developing sports timekeeping technology. Junghans provided timekeeping at motor races, world skiing and rowing championships, and athletics events. The highlight was Junghans’ participation in the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. There, a revolutionary change in timekeeping took place: thanks to the use of a quartz movement, athletes’ times were measured to the nearest hundredth of a second for the first time in history. This model is most reminiscent of timekeeping at motor races, as reflected in the design of the dial and strap.
