Story & heritage
Wikipedia records Junghans as the official timekeeper of the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, and the 1972 line exists to keep that sports-timing legacy visible. The official 2026 Sports Edition page says the story begins with the brand's first hand stopwatches in the 1920s and culminates in Munich in 1972, then turns that history into a 200-piece limited edition.
Among current Junghans watches, few pieces are this direct about the brand's backstory. The historical lettering, start-number motif at six, and vivid green strap make the 1972 Chronoscope the most playful reference in the current range.
Materials & craft
Official technical data specify quartz movement J645.83 in a 43.3 mm stainless-steel case with a unidirectional lockable bezel, screw-down caseback with edition engraving, and sapphire crystal. The matt green dial adds a white double stripe, black totalisers, yellow counter hands, date, small seconds and 24-hour display, while the perforated leather strap uses a quick-release system for easy swaps.
How to choose & style
Treat this one like a statement sneaker: the bright green strap and vintage-racing dial look best when the rest of the outfit stays simple. It is a weekend Junghans, not a boardroom one, and that is exactly its charm.
