About this timepiece
Sporty to its core, the Junghans Spektrum Mega Solar (ref. 18/1526.00) puts radio-controlled solar precision on a synthetic rubber strap, making it a natural partner for active days. Its 41.6 mm case combines stainless steel with matt finished ceramic for strength and scratch resistance, and water resistance up to 10 bar backs up the sporty character Junghans built into the Spektrum line.
Junghans presents the Spektrum as both highly accurate and gentle on resources, and the reason sits in the dial: solar cells power the multi-frequency radio-controlled solar movement J615.84, building a reserve of up to 21 months, with an automatic energy saving mode after 72 hours. Add a perpetual calendar with big date, radio reception in Europe, the UK, Japan and the USA, Junghans App connectivity and a sapphire crystal, and you have a German radio-controlled solar watch that largely takes care of itself. The dial print, minute track and hands carry an environmentally friendly luminous substance, and the strap closes with a stainless steel buckle.

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.
Radio control runs through decades of Junghans history. In 1985 Junghans introduced the first serially produced radio-controlled table clock, and in 1990 its Mega 1 became the first radio-controlled wristwatch, with a futuristic asymmetric case designed with FROG Design. In 1995 Junghans unveiled a radio-controlled solar watch in a ceramic case, the Stratos Mega Solar, which Junghans still regards as a classic and as the model for many of the radio-controlled solar watches in its collection, and in 2018 it developed the connected radio-controlled movement J101. Junghans describes the Spektrum as its sportiest radio-controlled watch, and it crafts its glass solar dials in its own grinding shop and printing facilities over numerous working steps.

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.
