The most beautiful Junghans!
The classic from the Junghans house, produced in the years from 1949 to approx. 1952. In a promotional brochure from the Junghans company from the 1950s, the chronograph is described as the "first full-size chronograph made in Germany". Furthermore, all 252 parts of the watch movement were manufactured in over 2,000 production steps at the Junghans company itself. This also included the mainspring, which was difficult to manufacture at the time.
The beautiful chronograph features the legendary Caliber 88, which also found its place in Junghans' early pilot watches.
The watch movement has been fully serviced by our partner workshop and is in fully functional condition.
The chrome-plated case is in a used condition consistent with its age, with signs of wear and use. The dial is from a later year.
Please note that the watch is no longer waterproof due to its age.
