Junkers 6046-5 Bauhaus

Every watch in the Bauhaus collection is designed by the inspiration of the relationship between Hugo Junkers and the influence that the Bauhaus movement played on the Junkers aircraft. The 6046-5 watch, which is part of the Bauhaus collection, portrays a sophisticated style built with high German quality. 

Hugo Junkers was not only a brilliant engineer, but also a great admirer of expressionist paintings and modern design. His intelligence and creativity is evident in the Bauhaus collection as they offer a variety of features for every aviation enthusiast ranging from multiple sub-dials to a date display. This collection gives you the choice of black leather strap with a matching black dial or brown leather strap with a cream dial making these watches suitable for any occasion.

 

CASE/BEZEL

This watch is light and comfortable enough to wear on any wrist. It weighs 45 grams with a case diameter of 40 x 10 mm. Due to its small size and weight, this watch lies naturally flat on your wrist and doesn’t appear to be bulky.

The bezel measures at 1 mm leaving more room for the domed hesalite crystal to protect the outer edge of the dial. In fact, you’ll see a reflected image of the dial since the interior wall is so thin. This watch has a water resistance of 3 ATM (30 meters). With prominent German craftsmanship, this watch promises to be a durable watch while looking stylish. 

MOVEMENT

The 6046-5 watch is powered by a Ronda 515 Swiss quartz movement. This movement features hours, minutes, central seconds and a date with a hacking function. The hacking function allows you to stop the movement whenever you please by pulling the crown. It measures 26 mm diameter by 3 mm height. 

Running on a 371 Swiss Renata battery, this watch has a claimed battery life of 45 months. That’s almost 4 years. Because this is a quartz movement, you don’t have to worry about winding the movement every day.


 

DIAL & HANDS

This timepiece features a date display located at the 3 o’ clock position with the Junkers logo applied at the 6 o’ clock position resembling a sophisticated look. Its pure beige dial showcases luminous dots located at the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions.

With small bold Arabic numerals printed on the hour and minute positions, you’ll never have to second guess the exact time. Its grey minute and hour hands are filled with Super-Luminova providing great readability in the dark. Its minimalist display puts the focus on the time and leaves you with very little distraction. 

CRYSTAL

The 6046-5 is framed by a clear domed hesalite crystal which combined with a very thin bezel provides significant real-estate for the dial which give the impression when wearing the watch to be larger than 40mm. The hesalite crystal is one the most unique features of the watches showcased in the Bauhaus collection, which makes this watch a one-of-a-kind must have.

CROWN

The crown has rigged edges to make it easier to adjust the time. It features an engraved Junkers logo on the front side.

STRAP 

This high-quality strap is 20 mm wide, dark brown, made out of calf leather with stitching on the sides. The back of the strap states, “Fatta a mano cuoio natural”, which translates to “handmade natural leather” in Italian and it features a buckle closure.

CONCLUSION

The 6046-5 watch brings a thrilling era of aircraft history alive with a minimalist and elegant design resembling its strong history and unique features.
