For the 100th anniversary of the night flight from New York to Chicago, a special model of the Junkers 100 Years Night Flight 958.03.13.M watch with a fully fluorescent dial was introduced. The limited edition is strictly limited to 999 pieces.

In the autumn of 1923, pilot Edward Stinson and Charles Dickenson, president of the Illinois Aero Club, made a groundbreaking night flight from New York to Chicago in a Junkers F13. This flight marked the first uninterrupted night flight between the two cities, setting a milestone in the development of aviation, which is considered the forerunner of night air travel. The Junkers F13, an all-metal, seven-passenger monoplane, landed in Curtissfield Garden City after eight and a half hours, just a third of the time it took the fastest express train to cover the same distance.

The Junkers 100 Years Night Flight 958.03.13.M has a stainless steel case housing a Japanese Seiko NH35 mechanical movement with 24 jewels. It operates at a frequency of 21,600 semi-frequencies per hour and has a date display at the traditional third hour position. Its operation can be observed thanks to a transparent dial. The entire dial is covered with Tritec Super-LumiNova® luminescent coating.

The glass of the Junkers 100 Years Night Flight 958.03.13.M is sapphire and is therefore extremely scratch-resistant. The water resistance of this model is 100m (10 ATM), so it can handle contact with water such as swimming or snorkeling. With its 42mm case diameter, it will fit most men's wrists. The Lug to Lug dimension ("height" of the watch including the feet) is 49 mm.
