Using the "Junghans factory caliber list" below, you can also determine the age of Junghans wristwatches up to 1970:
Junghans
Here is a list of the Junghans men's wristwatch calibers currently known to me, along with links to junghans-vintage.de (as far as I have already created them). The table by Hartmut Trippler (Klassik-Uhren 5/98) serves as a basis, among others.
Junghans changed the designation of its calibers in 1962/63. Instead of the prefix "J," a "6" was usually placed at the front. From this point on, the calibers were more precisely differentiated by the number suffix after the dot.
The data entry is still under construction.
If you know of any other calibers, please don’t hesitate to send me a short message via the contact form!
