In 1972 Junghans set new standards in sports timekeeping as the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games in Munich. For the first time, innovative measuring instruments such as high precision digital clocks enabled optimal start and finish monitoring. Consequently, the Munich games heralded a shift in the concept of precise timekeeping in top-class sport.
With a distinctive retro design, the 1972 series from Junghans brings the spirit of the 70’s back to life.
Firstly, with grey anthracite dials and orange detailing, the aesthetic is distinctly 1970’s. Cushion shaped cases, stubby hour indexes and broad hands all point to the origin of the series.
Secondly, choose between a Quartz or Solar Quartz movement. The Solar Quartz version features an alarm as well as date and chronograph functions.
Choose the 1972 series for its retro sports styling and precision.
