There were several Radiomir chronographs :

PAM00288 has a 7753
PAM00163.with a rebuild vintage Valjoux 234 limited edition of 230
A gold version PAM00370 only sold in China with 7753
The Wempe PAM00218 edition of only 30 pieces with Lemania 1872
The PAM00047 of only 20 edition with Venus 179 spilit seconds 3 subdials
The Wempe Edition PAM00204 with Lemania 1872

The Mare Nostrum Pam 300 (99 pieces) had the Pam Calibre OP XXV which a rebuilt Miverva 13-20 Handwind movement (first introduced in 1923!)
The Mare Nostrum Pam Titanium PAM00603 (150 pieces) also had the same movement .

Later the introduced the Radiomir 1940 Chronograph PAM00518 with a rebuilt Minerva 13-22 this time.
If i remember well Richmond also bought Piaget watches who owned the Manufacture Valfleurier which also owned rights
to the old Minerva wathes.These movements were rebuild remanufactured based on the older designs at Manufacture Valfleurier ,
I dont think they are restore vintage movements but they were made1:1 with modern materials from the early 30's designs.

Guys ...
I finished this parked project for some time. With the coronavirus being forced to stay indoors I was able to complete it. What do you think?
If you can give me some advice for a good strap.

Looks nice ,a tan strap or cognac would help the looks of it allot !
