Junghans 1974 Dato-Chron Diver With Orange Bezel

Offered is an absolutely gorgeous 1974 Junghans Dato-Chron electronic jewelled men’s dive style wristwatch. With a sweep-seconds, date function, midnight blue and forest green dial, stainless case, red seconds indicator and orange timing bezel, this piece is the epitome of mid-70s design - a real statement piece with a strong wrist presence (a fact assisted by its 39mm diameter).

This watch contains the famed Junghans in-house 600.12, 17-jewel movement with date function. This represents the final, and most advanced iteration of the Junghans electronic movements, introduced in 1972. Unfortunately, by this time, downmarket electronic competitors were already putting great pressure on middle and higher end manufacturers in the electronic sector, making this a rare beast indeed.

With only minor scratches consistent with age, and a great, matched, vintage navy and neon green leather strap, this watch is one of the most expressive vintage timepieces that we have ever handled. Pair this with the rare 600.12 Junghans electronic movement, and it is not difficult to see why this is truly a classic timepiece to be compared with the best of its generation.
