About this timepiece
The Junghans Stratos Mega Solar (ref. 18/1116.00) proudly revives a milestone: the radio-controlled solar watch in a ceramic case that Junghans introduced in 1995, now produced again with original parts in an edition limited to just 150 pieces. Three decades after its debut, it offers a rare chance to wear a genuine chapter of the Junghans radio-control story.
Junghans considers the Stratos a classic among radio-controlled watches and the template for many of the radio-controlled solar models in its collection, and this re-edition keeps that character intact. A polished ceramic case, 39 mm wide and 10.4 mm high, houses the radio-controlled solar movement J615.82, powered through the solar dial and offering a power reserve of up to 21 months with sleep mode after 72 hours. A date display, hands with an eco-friendly luminous substance, sapphire crystal, water resistance up to 3 bar and a leather strap with a stainless steel buckle complete this limited radio-controlled solar watch.

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 is woven deep into 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. Five years later, in 1995, Junghans presented its radio-controlled solar watch in a ceramic case, the Stratos Mega Solar, which Junghans still considers a classic among radio-controlled watches and the model for many of the radio-controlled solar watches in its collection. In 2018 Junghans developed the connected radio-controlled movement J101, and thirty years after the Stratos first appeared, Junghans has brought it back, made with original parts.

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.
