This wristwatch with its early antimagnetic Minerva movement caliber 13.20 dating from the 1940s is a marvellous example of a chronograph with tachometer and telemeter scales around the edge of the dial. The white printed scales create a striking contrast against the black dial and provide excellent readability.
