Ausgerechnet Junghans baut einen 500-Meter-Taucher - AQUARIS

Junghans, of all companies, is building a 500-meter diver – and at its heart might be a Grand Seiko. Sounds crazy? It is. Here's the whole story of the new Junghans Aquaris. Junghans stands for Bauhaus, for delicate elegance, for the Max Bill. And now this: 46.9 millimeters, 500 meters water-resistant, two screw-down crowns, a stainless steel behemoth on the wrist. The new Aquaris is Junghans' first true return to the water since the quartz divers of the 70s and 80s – and it poses a question that honestly wouldn't leave me alone when I unpacked it: What's actually ticking inside? The answer leads to Japan. The J830 caliber is manufactured by Seiko Instruments – and, to my knowledge, is based on a Grand Seiko movement, the 9S55, the date variant of the legendary 9S51 base. Junghans isn't officially communicating this, and to be perfectly honest: it's well-researched, but I wouldn't swear to it. What you can see in the movement itself, however, is the kinship – the asymmetrically positioned balance wheel, the curved train bridge, the entire signature of the 9S family. In the video, I'll walk you through everything: the case, the realistic size on the wrist, the internal rotating bezel, the quick-release straps – and, of course, the whole movement story, including the question of whether €2,690 is too much for a Junghans with a Japanese heart. At the end, I want to know your opinion. What do you think: a bold new beginning or a betrayal of the Bauhaus heritage? Let me know in the comments.
