It began in the 1920s with the first hand stopwatches and continued at many major sporting events in the 20th century, including car races, ski world cups, rowing and athletics competitions. Junghans even had its own department to develop sports timekeeping technology, which was then used at major competitions. The highlight was the <strong>1972 Summer Olympics<\/strong> in Munich. That year also gave its name to the sporty model series, which Junghans is expanding this year with quartz chronographs limited to 200 pieces each. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-interchange=\"[https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/the-spirit-of-racing-meet-the-junghans-1972-chronoscope-sports-edition-2024.jpg, (default)],[https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/the-spirit-of-racing-meet-the-junghans-1972-chronoscope-sports-edition-2024-10.jpg, (small)],[https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/the-spirit-of-racing-meet-the-junghans-1972-chronoscope-sports-edition-2024-9.jpg, (medium)]\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2126\" height=\"1417\" data-old-src=\"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/the-spirit-of-racing-meet-the-junghans-1972-chronoscope-sports-edition-2024.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-157766\"><\/figure>\n<p>The<strong> <\/strong>new <strong>1972 Chronoscope Sports Edition 2024<\/strong> is available with bright red, silver grey and dark green dials that are luminescent thanks to Superluminova on their hands.
