2024 Junghans Meister S Chronoscope Limited Edition Black 45mm

Here we have a striking 2024 Junghans Meister S Chronoscope Limited Edition of 888 pieces. It has a bold, sporty 45mm black PVD-coated stainless steel case that commands presence. Angular, integrated lugs sit comfortably on your wrist, resulting in a lug-to-lug length of 48.5mm and a case thickness of 15.5mm, giving the watch a powerful, robust aesthetic. On the right side, a screw-down crown is protected by a distinctive crown guard, flanked by sleek, integrated chronograph pushers. A fixed matte black bezel holds a curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides above a striking matte grey dial. Dynamic, applied indices with luminous fill mark the hours; at 3 o’clock, a colour-matched day-date window is perfectly framed, while bold sword hands with red accents and a vibrant central chronograph hand complement the three sub-dials: 30-minute, 12-hour, and running seconds; at 3 o’clock, the Junghans motif is printed, completing this modern, racing-inspired design. On the reverse, a solid screwed-down case back is engraved with historical details, including its exclusive serial number, sealing an automatic Junghans Cal. J880.1 movement beating at 28,800 beats per hour. This high-performance chronograph movement is based on the workhorse ETA Valjoux 7750, offering exceptional reliability. The watch comes paired with its original Junghans 22mm black synthetic rubber and leather strap, secured by a signed folding clasp, plus a signed pin buckle and comes with its Junghans presentation box and paperwork.

This watch is sold with its original Junghans box and paperwork. The watch comes paired with its original Junghans 22mm black synthetic rubber-and-leather strap, secured by a signed folding clasp, plus a signed pin buckle. The watch is from November 2024 and is sold in worn but very condition, as you can see. The watch comes with our 12-Months NON-Waterproof Warranty.

At 45mm, there’s no getting around the fact that this is a big watch on paper, but the dimensions really don’t tell the full story. With a surprisingly short 48.5mm lug-to-lug, it sits incredibly well on the wrist and feels far more compact than you’d expect. Even on my smaller wrist, I found it surprisingly comfortable and very wearable. You still get all the presence and impact of a big sports chronograph, without it feeling like it’s hanging over the edges of your wrist. Definitely one of those watches you need to try on before judging it purely by the 45mm case size. Don't hesitate to add this watch to your collection today!

Junghans was founded in Schramberg, Germany, by Erhard Junghans and his brother-in-law Jakob Zeller-Tobler in 1861. Originally named Junghans and Tobler, their first watches were produced in 1866. Shortly afterwards, Ernard passed away, leaving the company to his wife and his two sons, Erhard Jr and Arthur Junghans. Arthur spent a lot of time in America, taking inspiration from there. The famous Junghans star Trademark started life as a 5-point star in 1888; then it was changed to an 8-point star in 1890. In 1903, Junghans was the world's largest watch factory, producing an incredible 3 million watches a year. By 1930, they were producing their own movements. In 1956, they were taken over by the Diehl Group, producing watches and wall clocks in collaboration with the Swiss artist Max Bill. During the Quartz revolution of the 1970s, they produced the first German quartz wristwatch, the Astro-Quartz. Innovation has always been Junghans' strength. In 2000, Junghans was taken over for the second time by EganaGoldpfeil Holding. Unfortunately, things didn’t turn out well and in 2008, the company was sold to Hans Jochem Steim, a freeman of the city of Schramberg and his son Hannes Steim, after the mayor of Schramberg asked if they would be interested in saving Junghans. The brand was split into two collections, Junghans and Max Bill. In 2011, they celebrated their 150th Anniversary.
