Introducing: Junghans 1972 Automatic FIS Limited Edition

Although winter sports are off the agenda for most at the moment, it’s still possible to get a piece of the action with the cool, new Junghans 1972 Automatic FIS Limited Edition.

Official timing partner of the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, the event is due to be held from 23rd February until 7th of March 2021 in Oberstdorf/Allgäu. Over 13 days, athletes from all over the world will compete in the disciplines of ski jumping, cross-country skiing and Nordic Combined.

Limited to just 500 individually numbered pieces, the 1972 Automatic FIS Edition has a strong, retro look. Compared to the main Junghans collection which has a classical feel, it stands out with its powerful, energetic sports styling. It is also a practical piece: robust enough to withstand the high speeds and impacts of competitive skiing.

Automatic Movement

Firstly, the watch is equipped with a dependable J830 automatic calibre with a 48-hour power reserve. Water resistant to 300m and with a three-point shock absorber, this watch is as tough as they come.

Case

Secondly, the sculpted case is in brushed stainless steel with polished elements to catch the light. With a diameter of 46.9mm, it is a practical size for demanding Nordic winter sports. Strong and solid, it is 14.5mm thick. Additionally, on the reverse side, the screw-in caseback has a special engraving created for the Limited Edition. Also, it is engraved with its unique serial number. Finally, the case is extended between the crowns to protect them from impact.

Dial, Crowns

The snowy white dial has luminous hour indexes and hands for optimal legibility.

Additionally, an inner ring displays the minutes on a blue track whilst the red ring displays a second time zone. Chosen to reflect the colours of the event logo, they add a sporty vibrancy to the watch. Furthermore, the inner ring can be rotated in both directions. It is adjusted using the screw-down crown located at 2 o’clock. This crown is engraved with a snowflake. Moreover, a second screw-down crown, located at 4 o’clock, adjusts the time. It can also be used to manually wind the watch. This crown is engraved with the Junghans star motif.

Bracelet, Interchangeable Leather Straps

Finally, a practical stainless-steel bracelet completes the look and secures to the wrist with a folding clasp. Furthermore, the watch is supplied in a special commemorative presentation box. The box includes two additional interchangeable leather straps. The first is white with blue and red detailing and the second is in dark blue with a grey underside. Both have a cut-out circle pattern to add to the sporty feel and secure to the wrist with a stainless-steel pin buckle.
