The German Junghans 1972 Competition Chronoscope Automatic 27/4509.00 watch from the Performance range brings 1970s style to life with modern technology. The watch references 1972, when Junghans was the official timekeeper of the Summer Olympics in Munich.
The Junghans 1972 Competition Chronoscope Automatic 27/4509.00 watch has a stainless steel case complemented by a leather strap. It is fitted with a J880.5 automatic mechanical movement, based on the well-known Swiss Sellita SW510. The manufacturer uses the Elaboré grade, with enhanced shock protection (Incabloc) and a regulated maximum daily deviation of +/- 14 seconds. This movement has a chronograph function and a useful date display at the 3 o'clock position. The power reserve is up to 48 hours. Around the edge of the dial is a tachymeter scale, used to measure average speed over a precisely defined distance.
The Junghans 27/4504.00 model has a dial protected by a sapphire crystal, which is highly resistant to scratches. A double-sided anti-reflective coating ensures excellent legibility even in direct sunlight. With water resistance of 100 metres (10 ATM), this model can withstand greater contact with water, such as swimming.
