The Junghans 41/4579.00 is a bold celebration of Junghans’ deep-rooted sporting heritage, capturing the brand’s long-standing passion for precision timing. From elite partnerships with athletes such as ski jumper Karl Geiger and the Rhein-Neckar Löwen handball team, to decades as an official timing partner of major sporting events like the Oldtimer Grand Prix, Junghans has always lived at the heart of competition. That legacy stretches back to the 1920s and the brand’s earliest stopwatches, making this 1972-inspired Chronoscope a modern tribute to nearly a century of sporting excellence.
At its core, the watch is driven by a precise quartz chronograph movement (J645.83), delivering reliable timing functions including 1/5-second measurement and a 60-minute counter, alongside small seconds and a 24-hour display. The dial is a striking matt white canvas animated by a vertical double orange racing stripe, black subdials, and a distinctive small seconds display marked by an orange “6” — a subtle nod to starting numbers and racing culture. White luminous detailing on the minute track, paired with green luminous hour and minute hands and bold orange chronograph accents, ensures maximum legibility with a strong motorsport identity.
Built for performance as well as style, the 43.3 mm stainless steel case features a unidirectional rotating bezel, a screwed case back engraved with the special edition motif, and flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. Rated to 10 bar water resistance, it is paired with a white leather strap featuring circular cut-outs, a grey lining, and an orange seam with quick-release functionality for easy changes. Limited to just 200 pieces, the 41/4579.00 is a high-energy fusion of racing spirit, functional design, and Junghans’ historic mastery of sports timing
