Junghans Meister Driver Automatic - 27/7710.00
About this timepiece
Inspired by the dawn of motoring, the Junghans Meister Driver Automatic (ref. 27/7710.00) is a German automatic watch that captures the spirit of the early automobile years and the engineers who shaped them. Its white and sand-toned effect lacquer dial has a warm, characterful glow, and hands treated with environmentally friendly luminous material keep it easy to read. A domed hardened Plexiglas crystal, coated for added scratch resistance, gives the watch a softly rounded profile that flows into the curved case.
The 38.4 mm stainless steel case is PVD coated and just 9.9 mm high, and its screwed exhibition case back reveals the automatic caliber J800.1 with its 38-hour power reserve and date function. The leather strap features a perforated underside and closes with a stainless steel pin buckle for a comfortable, secure fit. Water resistant to 3 bar, the Meister Driver is a charming everyday companion for anyone who loves mechanical watches and the golden age of the automobile.

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 began producing its own movements in the 1930s, and they became the basis of the Meister watches; the Meister collection was launched in 1936. During the heyday of the mechanical wristwatch, Junghans developed many movements in Schramberg and reserved its finest calibers for the Meister line. In 1956 Junghans ranked among the largest chronometer makers in the world, and in 1957 it introduced the J83, its first automatic chronometer caliber.
The Meister Driver adds a story of its own: Junghans designed it to recall the early years of the modern automobile and the era of great technical pioneers, combining that spirit with its passion for mechanical watches. It continues a Meister line that has offered reliable timekeeping for nearly a century.

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.
