It was running slow after a service, so back she went. Thankfully running properly now 3 days of testing. Here is my Minerva Aviation 45. From 1997. Made in 50 examples. Known as reference A71-A6B. 42mm which was considered oversized in 1997. The movement...  

I agree that it’s kind of cool to see a movement that was generally hidden in every other watch it was cased in. Considering it was meant to be hidden, in my eyes it’s still a good looking architecture 👍

30 years old next year 😁

Rudimentary but no less cool at the back.

Definitely very unfinished on the reverse.

configuration as well. 👍

It’s definitely a favorite Minerva of mine and the size at 42mm fits me well. Hope you are well and have a great Memorial Day weekend!

It's great that you can enjoy it again. Best, Emmanuel

Really like the old school coherence of it - a highly finished movement would simply not fit the vibe IMHO 😊👍🏻

Totally agree and I am glad it’s a solid caseback 😂
