Oldie but goldie!

Many, many moons ago, before Minerva passed first to the Gnutti led consortium and then to MB, they were already making very exciting chronographs. Finishing was nowhere near as exquisite but the basic movement design didnโt differ much.
Here a 13.20 Chronograph from the old days, on a navy sturgeon strap for some contrast. And thereโs one advantage of the old ones, they are smaller and work on a wider variety of wrists ๐๐๐ป

Definitely has been a hole in my small Minerva collection and I was happy to have filled it some two years ago ๐๐๐ป
Thanks a lot!

Chronographs used to be a lot more elegant, thinner and smaller back in the day ๐๐๐ป
Nowadays itโs rareโฆ

That a brand dares make a chrono if 37mm and below. Zenith did some over the last years but as said - a rarity ๐๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Perfect Congratulations
