A bold homage to 1970s sports timing
The 1972 Competition captures the daring design codes of an era when Junghans served as official timekeeper for international sporting events. Its striking oval case, stopwatch‑style top‑mounted pushers and crown, and white sunburst dial with matching tachymeter evoke the adrenaline and innovation of motorsport chronographs of the past. Powered by the self‑winding J880.5 movement with a 48‑hour reserve, this watch blends nostalgic aesthetics with modern engineering and 10‑bar water resistance.
