Why It Matters
In 1972, Junghans served as official timekeeper for international sporting events, including the Munich Olympic Games. The 1972 Chronoscope draws directly from that era, oversized proportions, high-contrast legibility, and instrument-style clarity designed for performance.
It wears with presence at 43.3 mm, yet remains balanced and purposeful.
It feels mechanical. Confident. Intentional.
For collectors seeking a limited-edition chronograph with authentic German sporting lineage, this is one of only 200 opportunities worldwide.
