Manufactured in the 1940s – Minerva Waterproof Chronograph with Renowned Cal. 20CH Movement, Stainless Steel
Rare black two-tone dial.

This rare black two-tone dial features an intricate and compact design, with a gilt-process tachymeter scale (in gold) and gold concentric circles. The black dial has aged to a soft brown hue, showing minor scratches and signs of wear, but the screw-back waterproof case retains its original shape without signs of thinning, presenting an excellent vintage aesthetic.

The well-balanced 35mm screw-back case sits comfortably on the wrist, showcasing beautiful curves, beveled edges, and fine-grain finishing. Inside beats the legendary Minerva Cal. 20CH movement (with shock absorber), known for its exceptional quality. This piece combines expert-level craftsmanship with practical everyday usability, making it especially appealing to seasoned collectors.
