Max Bill By Junghans - Automatic Wristwatch - Vintage Dial

The Max Bill design watch is remains true to form of the original Max Bill design watches dating from the 1950’s.  Almost nothing has altered apart from the fact that it is constructed today from modern materials in a modern environment, and of course with a modern movement.  These factors make for an altogether more accurate, stronger and more reliable wristwatch.  It is a classical design and looks like it has stepped right of the decade from which it was first introduced – and many watches standards were set by designs like this one.  It has got a 25 jeweled Swiss made ETA 2824-2 automatic movement. The case is all stainless steel which is polished, and slender and sleek in deign.  It has a solid steel snap on case back which bears Max Bill’s signature. The dial is vintage black which is a faded black clour with vintage faded look numerals and hands. Long flowing lines seem to be the main design influence, therefore the hour markers and hands are long.  The long hands touch the correct points where the hour hand tips the hour marks, the minute hand touches the minute marks numbers, and the central sweep second hand follows the same line as the minute hand, just tipping the minute/second marks as it sweeps past them. Has an attractive convex highly domed plexi glass acrylic crystal, which at some angles makes the dial appear slightly curved, creating an appealing effect.  It comes on a good quality black leather strap with polished steel pin buckle.  Made in Germany with Swiss movement. Brand new with 2 year warranty, comes with box and instructions.  Junghans reference 027/3401.00. Width is 37 mm excluding crown and 40 mm including crown, Lug to lug is 40 mm, Thickness is 10 mm.
