Yeah, it sure is a beauty. Do you happen to know when it was produced?

Actually not sure when this was produced but according to Hodinkee they started to supply Swedish army with the VD712 in the late 50's but guessing mine is from the early to mid 60's (my dial is marked with T's so def 60's at least since Tritium and therefore the T's was starting to be used).

Keep spamming my own thread since I can't find any Minerva specific thread?
Do we have any more Minerva wearers here? 😀

I was thinking of starting a Minerva thread. That is a beautiful watch. I have a Minerva but they seem quite uncommon. I think people here might be getting tired of seeing my same pictures. Hopefully some more Minerva owners turn up!
