Junghans 1972 Competition FIS Edition Trondheim - 27/4507.00
About this timepiece
Snowflakes, a Norwegian flag and a run of only 150 pieces make the Junghans 1972 Competition FIS Edition Trondheim (ref. 27/4507.00) a true collector's automatic chronograph, created to celebrate the 2025 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim. Its silver sunburst dial carries a delicate transparent print of tiny stylized snowflakes inspired by the official championships logo, and the small seconds at 6 o'clock displays the Norwegian flag in honor of the host nation.
The oval stainless steel case measures 45.5 mm from 9 to 3 o'clock and 41.0 mm from 12 to 6 o'clock, stands 14.5 mm high, and pairs a screwed crown with a case back retained by four screws and engraved for the edition. Inside, the self-winding J880.5 movement offers a 48-hour power reserve and drives the stop seconds, the 30-minute counter at 12 o'clock, the small seconds and the date, while a dark blue tachymeter scale frames the dial. A sapphire crystal with anti-reflection coating on both sides, a luminous minute track and water resistance up to 10 bar make it ready for winter days, and the dark blue leather strap, with black lining, grey perforation, a stainless steel inlay and a folding clasp, completes a winter-sports tribute you will be proud to wear.

Timepiece History
Junghans was founded on April 14, 1861, in Schramberg in Germany's Black Forest, when Erhard Junghans and his brother-in-law, Jakob Zeller-Tobler, set up a firm making parts for large Black Forest clocks; the first complete Junghans clocks followed in 1866. By 1903, Junghans had grown into the largest clock manufacturer in the world, and in 1918 it completed its nine-level terrace building, the Terrassenbau, which today houses the Junghans Terrassenbau Museum. Owned by the Steim family since 2009, Junghans remains based in Schramberg today.
Junghans' sports timing story began with hand-held stopwatches in the 1920s; from the 1960s to the 1980s it timed many major sporting events, including the 1972 Olympic Games as official timekeeper, and the 1972 line takes its name and style from that era. Junghans was Official Timing Partner of the 2025 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim, Norway, which began on February 26, 2025, its fourth championship in that role after Seefeld in 2019, Oberstdorf in 2021 and Planica in 2023. The 1972 Competition FIS Edition Trondheim was made for the occasion in a limited edition of 150 pieces.

Care Instructions
Daily Care
• Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft microfiber cloth after wear to remove oils, dust, and fingerprints.
Cleaning
• Use a soft cloth lightly dampened with water and mild soap for occasional cleaning.
• Dry the watch thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
What to Avoid
• Avoid bleach, chlorine, harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and household cleaning products.
• Do not use polishing compounds unless specifically recommended by the watch manufacturer.
Stainless Steel and Titanium
• Light surface marks may develop over time with normal wear.
• Titanium can show cosmetic marks differently than stainless steel because of its lighter weight and surface characteristics.
Water Resistance
• Always follow the water resistance rating listed by the manufacturer for your specific watch.
• Water resistance is not permanent and can decrease over time as seals and gaskets age.
• Make sure the crown is fully pushed in or screwed down before water exposure.
• Do not operate the crown, pushers, or other controls while the watch is underwater unless the manufacturer specifically states that it is safe to do so.
• Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and very hot showers, as heat and rapid temperature changes can affect the watch seals.
• Have the water resistance checked periodically, especially after battery replacement, case opening, or service.
Storage
• Store your watch in a clean, dry place when not in use.
• Keep it separated from other jewelry or watches to help prevent scratches.
