The Junghans max bill Automatic 27/4700.02 is the numeral-dial version of the max bill line with a date window, on a black leather strap. 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 and hands with luminous substance, and water resistance is 5 bar. The strap is black leather with a stainless steel 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 €1,485 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”, and highlights the squared numerals, whose “4” recalls an upside-down chair.

The max bill range is one of the best-known Bauhaus-influenced watch families, and this reference adds everyday practicality to its numeral dial with a date. 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.
