It houses Montblanc's own caliber MB M13.21, a large 18-screw balance wheel running at the traditional frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour, equipped with a column wheel, a horizontal disc clutch and the iconic "V" shaped chronograph bridges that were still a secret in 1912. As with other Meneva calibers, one of the movement parts is shaped in the form of a small arrowhead, the Meneva signature, in honor of the Manufacture's long and illustrious watchmaking tradition.
