The Junghans max bill Automatic 27/4002.46 is the index-dial version of the max bill line on a Milanaise mesh bracelet. Its polished stainless steel case measures 38.0 mm in diameter and 10.0 mm in height, under a domed, anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The matt silver-plated dial has a minute track, hands with luminous substance and a date window, and water resistance is 5 bar. The bracelet is a Milanaise with a safety buckle.

The movement is the self-winding Junghans J800.1 with up to 38 hours of power reserve and a date function. Junghans lists the watch at €1,585 including VAT. The brand ties the design to Max Bill’s ideal of a watch “as timeless as can be conceived without forgetting the time”.

The max bill range is one of the best-known Bauhaus-influenced watch families, and the mesh bracelet gives the minimalist dial a more modern, all-steel look than the leather versions. Retailers describe the J800.1 as an ETA 2824-based caliber. The watch is currently in production and shown as in stock on Junghans’ official store.
