Friends,
As fate would have it, I found a Minerva TZ LE Black dial as well. Hooray ☀️
It arrived just yesterday.
The TimeZone limited edition … calibre 49 manual wind … so they made 49 pieces in the black dial and 49 in the white dial in the year 2000. This was done only a few months before Minerva the company was sold.
Here are some pics… the black dial is not easy to photograph. Tons of reflections. The indices and hands have a copper-gold hue.
It’s about 23 years old (Neo-vintage) and these two are not so easy to find as they are collectors items. Sapphire crystal and a simple but well executed stepped case design.
At 36 mm, they wear more like a 37/38 mm as the bezel is thin and the watch is pretty much all dial. Love that it has no date too 😄 I also like the 12,3,6,9 numbers next to the dagger indices. All applied of course.
You may recall that I got the white dial first from another collector a month or so ago and had some luck to find the black dial too. ☺️
Thanks for reading ❤️
