Its anthracite dial is finished with a sunray brush that plays with the light, and orange totalizers and tachymeter scales give it the unmistakable energy of a vintage race timer. The slightly elliptical stainless steel case, 45.5 by 41.0 mm and 14.5 mm tall, lends the watch a dynamic presence that sets it apart from conventional round chronographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePowering it is the Junghans self-winding J880.5 movement with up to 48 hours of power reserve, running the stop function, tachymeter, small seconds and date. A flat, anti-reflective sapphire crystal keeps the dial clear, a luminous minute track adds legibility, and the screwed crown and tube, together with a four-times-screwed case back bearing the Edition engraving, deliver water resistance up to 10 bar. The leather strap, lined in orange-coloured leather and fixed with stainless steel screws on both sides, closes with a stainless steel folding clasp. For collectors of sports-timing style, it is a limited statement piece worth owning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLimited to 1,972 Pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e – an edition size that matches the 1972 name, with Edition engraving on the case back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnthracite Sunray Dial\u003c\/strong\u003e – orange totalisers and tachymeter scales on a sunray-brushed anthracite base.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEllipsoidal Case\u003c\/strong\u003e – 45.5 x 41.0 mm stainless steel with screwed crown and tube.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic J880.5 Caliber\u003c\/strong\u003e – stop function, tachymeter, small seconds and date, with up to 48 hours of power reserve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrange-Lined Leather Strap\u003c\/strong\u003e – screw-fixed on both sides and closed with a stainless steel folding clasp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27\/4203.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1972 Competition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-winding movement J880.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Reserve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 48 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Date, small second, stop function, tachymeter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anthracite with sunray brush, totalisers and tachymeter scales in orange, minute track with luminous substance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel, ellipsoidal, screwed crown and tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45.5 x 41.0 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Back:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-times screwed case back with Edition engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flat and anti-reflective sapphire crystal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 10 bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leather strap with orange-coloured lining leather, two stainless steel screws fixed on both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClasp:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel folding clasp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,972 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Schramberg, Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTimepiece History\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJunghans 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJunghans' involvement in sport reaches back to the hand-held stopwatches it made in the 1920s. From the 1960s to the 1980s, Junghans timed many major sporting events and introduced technical innovations in sports timekeeping, and it was the official timekeeper of the 1972 Olympic Games. The 1972 line takes its name and style from that era, and the 1972 Competition expresses it through an oval case drawn in the design language of the seventies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Junghans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50925054820400,"sku":"27\/4203.00","price":3110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/1764\/4336\/files\/1972-competition-1-1440.webp?v=1793403534","url":"https:\/\/elizaldejewelers.com\/products\/junghans-1972-competition-27-4203-00","provider":"Elizalde Jewelers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
