Fitting the watch with a sapphire crystal increases water resistance from a useless 3ATM to a more useful 5ATM - good enough for wearing in a regular low pressure shower. At about 9.5mm thick the Meister MEGA is reasonably thin and, to make things more appealing, Junghans now offer an optional sapphire crystal with double sided AR coating. The look (especially with the silver dial) is pure classic 1950s, but I was put off by the useless 3ATM water resistance, lack of sapphire crystal, and bulbous case backs, especially on the chrono models which are absurdly thick.īut when Junghans added the MEGA model to the Meister range a couple of years ago I was immediately interested. I first came across the Junghans Meister series seven years ago. 3741 (both fitted with JLC's 631 Calibre Mecaquartz movement), and a Grand Seiko SBGT005 with a 9F thermocompensated movement. Over the years I have owned and regretted selling several, including a Jaeger leCoultre Master Control Chrono ref 145.2.31 and an IWC Fliegerchronograph ref. I have always been fascinated by high-end classical watches that have interesting quartz movements.
