Description

The 1972 Chronoscope Sports Edition is Junghans at full throttle, a racing-inspired chronograph that captures the energy of the Munich Olympic era and delivers it with modern mechanical precision.

Limited to just 200 pieces worldwide, this edition pairs a vivid orange dial with a perforated leather racing strap and bold black vertical stripe, a design language rooted in 1970s motorsport timing instruments.

It is unapologetically graphic. Purpose-built. And distinctly German.

Why It Matters

In 1972, Junghans was responsible for official timekeeping at international sporting events. This model draws directly from that heritage, oversized case, high legibility, strong contrast, and performance-driven clarity.

This is not Bauhaus minimalism.
This is stopwatch heritage reimagined.
