Junghans - Mega - Men - 2000-2010

The German Junghans Meister Mega from the Meister collection continues the tradition of the first half of the 20th century and merges it with the very latest watchmaking in the form of a radio-controlled movement. This model is undoubtedly among the most elegant radio-controlled watches worldwide. Between the 1930s and 1960s, watches by the then-designer Anton Ziegler were produced in a similar style. Today the watch returns with the newest technology! The Junghans Meister Mega is equipped with the battery-powered manufacture movement J101.65, which is radio-controlled and thus ensures the highest accuracy at all times. The radio control of this movement operates across several frequencies, i.e., it receives signals from five radio transmitters worldwide (with the exception of the Chinese transmitter). Even outside the signal range, the J101.65 achieves an extremely high accuracy – precisely +/- 8 seconds per year. Time setting is also possible via smartphone using the Junghans MEGA app (for Android and iOS). This movement also offers an perpetual calendar function that runs without correction until the year 2400, even without radio reception. The date display is located at the traditional 3 o’clock position. Another interesting feature of the manufacture movement J101.65 is the movement of the seconds hand. It does not tick once per second as in most quartz movements, but every half a second. In addition, the position of the seconds hand is adjusted 1440 times a day (using ITC technology – Intelligent Time Correction) based on the most recently received time information. Unusually, the minute hand also moves in minute steps rather than smoothly. The case of this model is made of stainless steel and is elegantly complemented by the leather strap. The dial appears very elegant thanks to the finely crafted hands. It is protected by a curved sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. On the dial there is a world map with the positions of the radio transmitters, by means of which the watch is adjusted. Water resistance is 50 meters (5 ATM) – the watch is thus protected against normal water contact such as rain and splashes.
