Junghans Cal. 93S1, 1961

Clean Light Dial with 17 Jewels Signature

The dial has a refined cream to silver-tone appearance with a simple and balanced layout. The Junghans signature is placed below 12 o’clock, with “17 Jewels” printed underneath, giving the watch a clean and authentic vintage character. Slim applied hour markers and fine minute markings around the outer track keep the dial elegant and highly readable. The gold-tone dauphine-style hands and central seconds hand complete the classic early-1960s dress-watch look.

Gold-Tone Case with Slim Vintage Profile

The watch features a warm gold-tone case with slim lugs, a polished bezel and a refined mid-century shape. The case has a dress-watch profile that wears elegantly on the wrist, while the side-view photos show natural vintage wear consistent with age. The combination of the light dial, gold-tone case and brown leather strap gives the watch a timeless and formal appearance.

Hand-Wound Junghans Cal. 93S1 Movement

Inside is the Junghans Cal. 93S1, a German hand-wound mechanical movement from the respected J93S movement family. The movement photo shows the Junghans star logo and “93S1” marking clearly engraved on the bridge, confirming the caliber. This movement gives the watch traditional manual-winding character and makes it especially appealing to collectors of vintage German mechanical watches.

Stainless Steel Back with Period Markings

The case back is marked “Stainless Steel Back” and “Shock & Waterproof”, typical wording for vintage watches of this period. The back shows natural surface marks from age, while the visible construction reflects the common mid-century combination of a gold-tone case with a stainless steel back. These details add to the authentic vintage character of the watch.

Classic Brown Leather Strap

The watch is paired with a brown leather strap with contrast stitching, which suits the warm tone of the case and gives the watch a refined vintage appearance. The strap choice works well with the simple dial and gold-tone details, making the watch suitable as a classic dress piece or as an elegant everyday vintage watch.
