Named after an icon of aviation

Hardly any other aeroplane epitomises the history of Junkers quite like the Junkers JU 52. As a three-engined, all-metal aeroplane, it set new standards for civil aviation and was particularly prized for its reliability, robustness and docile flight characteristics. Its distinctive corrugated metal skin made it just as unmistakable as its characteristic appearance. Thanks to its exceptional flight characteristics, it was affectionately nicknamed ‘Tante Ju’ and became an icon of early aviation.

The JU 52 Aviator series pays tribute to this legendary aircraft and its significance in the history of Junkers. It forms part of the Junkers Premium Collection and comprises two models: a classic three-hand watch and a chronograph. Two different designs that tell a shared story: that of the legendary Aunt Ju.

Fitted with a Swiss automatic movement

The case houses the tried-and-tested Swiss automatic movement, the ETA Valjoux 7750. For decades, it has been regarded as one of the best-known and most reliable mechanical chronograph movements and is valued for its robust construction and high suitability for everyday use.

The sapphire crystal caseback offers a clear view of the automatic movement, revealing the mechanics inside.

Functions and features

The integrated chronograph allows time intervals to be measured precisely. The pushers on the case are used to start, stop and reset the stopwatch. The elapsed time is displayed by the additional counters on the dial.

The Day-Date display shows both the day of the week and the date on the dial. Both pieces of information can be read at a glance, making the watch particularly practical for everyday use.

The exceptionally hard sapphire crystal protects the dial from scratches and ensures a clear view of the displays. It is durable and therefore ideally suited for everyday use.

Junkers Premium Collection

As a model from the Junkers Premium Collection, the watch is dispatched in an exclusive collector’s box, in which it can be safely stored and displayed.

Also available as a three-hand model

Same design language, different movement

If you like the design of the JU52 Aviator Chronograph but would prefer a quartz watch, the Flieger D-2000 Chronograph is a suitable alternative. Both models combine the characteristic Junkers pilot’s watch design with a dial featuring a sunburst finish or Junkers corrugated pattern, distinctive typography and a unique date display.

Whilst the JU52 Aviator combines the day of the week and date and is fitted with a premium mechanical movement, the D-2000 features a striking large date display and a precise quartz movement.

Sehr schöner Chronograph

Sehr schöner Chronograph, speziell mit dem besonderen "Wellblechdesign", welches ein absolutes ikonisches Alleinstellungsmerkmal im Uhrenkosmos ist. Die Uhr wird in einer sehr geschmackvollen Box ausgeliefert und rundet damit den hochwertigen Gesamteindruck perfekt ab. Ich sehe diese Uhr im Vergleich zu deutlich teureren Modellen anderer Marken als die Alternative, speziell wenn man bedenkt welches Werk eingeschalt wurde! Gratulation zu diesem geschichtsträchtigen Gesamtpaket, ich habe große Freude am Arm.
