With the new Junghans Aquaris collection, the historic German Maison takes a decisive step into the world of professional dive watches. Known primarily for its Bauhaus design, Max Bill lines, and minimalist elegance that has made it famous worldwide, Junghans surprises by presenting a collection that combines extreme performance, technical robustness, and a completely new aesthetic personality.

The Aquaris range was created for those who live the sea as their natural environment, but also for those looking for a modern, distinctive, and uncompromising diver's watch.

A professional diver's watch by Junghans

The new collection is developed around two different interpretations of the same concept.

On one hand, we find the Aquaris Divers, designed for the most demanding underwater use; on the other hand, the Aquaris Sport, characterized by a more versatile and sporty aesthetic, while maintaining a strong technical identity.

The satin-finished steel case with polished details measures a substantial 46.9 mm in diameter and 14.5 mm in thickness, significant dimensions that highlight the professional nature of the collection. The cushion design, double screw-down crowns, and extremely robust construction immediately convey a sense of reliability and solidity.

Water resistance up to 500 meters

The most striking feature is undoubtedly the water resistance.

The new Aquaris Diver watches are certified up to 500 meters, a threshold that places these models in the territory of true professional instruments. The unidirectional rotating inner bezel protects the mechanism from accidental impacts and allows monitoring dive times with maximum safety.

Legibility, a fundamental element in a diver's watch, is ensured by large applied indices and hands generously filled with Super-LumiNova X1 Grade Green, one of the most performing luminescent substances available today.

The Diver versions feature matte dark grey dials with green or orange accents, while the Sport variants opt for elegant sunray finishes in blue and red tones, paired with coordinated inner bezels.

The mechanical heart: caliber J830

Within the Aquaris collection beats the automatic Junghans J830 caliber, a movement developed by the German Maison based on a high-level Japanese mechanical foundation and customized with specific components manufactured by Junghans.

The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations/hour and offers a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. To further increase reliability, there is a soft iron shielding that helps protect the caliber from magnetic fields, a feature particularly appreciated in watches intended for technical environments.

The result is a robust, precise movement perfectly consistent with the professional philosophy of the entire collection.

Advanced bracelet and maximum practicality

Junghans has also paid particular attention to the daily user experience.

The satin-finished steel bracelet integrates a sophisticated quick adjustment system that allows changing the length without using tools. In addition, there is a true dive extension designed to allow the watch to be worn over a wetsuit.

Each Aquaris also comes with a second synthetic rubber strap equipped with a quick-release system, allowing the watch's character to be quickly transformed in seconds.

A new identity for Junghans

The launch of the Aquaris collection represents one of the most interesting projects for Junghans in recent years.

While maintaining the focus on functionality and build quality that has always characterized the German brand, Aquaris explores entirely new territory compared to the Maison's famous minimalist collections. Here, the aesthetic language is more assertive, more technical, and clearly performance-oriented.

The result is a collection that stands out in a very competitive segment thanks to its strong personality and professional technical solutions.

For those looking for a diver's watch that is different from the usual, capable of combining German engineering, mechanical reliability, and true dive tool features, the new Junghans Aquaris models represent one of the most interesting novelties in the watchmaking landscape of 2026.
