I was instantly captured by the telemeter beauty shot from Junghans when I first saw it, as it is the first "sporty" model from Junghans that comes with the signature domed plexiglass.
It was a reproduction of the 1950's model which was back then using the J88 in-house movement,
A wrist shot wit the ancestors poster advertisement....
The case size is of 40.8mm is just great to be able to give some breathing space for the busy dial with telemeter tachymeter. The Height is around 12.6mm thanks to the slim work horse inside, it wear "taller" than it seems because of the case construction, a tapered 2 piece case construction, the back case is hidden and block by the front piece which as per below picture.
The dial is not plain white but silverish with circular grain, as well as the subdial with finer circular grain. Both the indexes and hands are painted with the thick "faux patina" luminous substance, where it further compliment the retro looks of the watch, the luminous on the hands are better than the indexes. Personally I like the exclusion of date from the watch as I think inclusion a date window at any part of the dial would affect the overall design of the telemeter.
The readability is great as the hands are in greyish and in high polish that form contrast from the matt silverish dial. On the Movement ticking inside is the slim 2892 with DD chrono module or a 2894.
If I were to complain..it would be the lug size : 21mm :Mad: (the watch comes with a comfy calf leather, pictures above is with a 3rd party strap)
