Solar Ceramic Atomic
Why Ceramic?
When it came to designing the Ceramic watch case, our designers drew inspiration directly from space technology. Ceramic not only serves to shield astronauts from extreme heat, but Junghans also uses it to protect its Atomic wristwatches against scratching and breakage. The watch case starts out as a blank made of zirconium oxide, which is then baked in a kiln at 1000-1400 C (1800-2500F) for 30-36 hours to give the ceramic material its final appearance and shape. This process also makes the ceramic extremely durable and harder even than stainless steel. It is also hypoallergenic and very lightweight. Made from one of the world's oldest materials, Junghans Ceramic is a hi-tech, innovative watch with the emotional appeal of timeless design combined with a high degree of watch making know-how.
