Venus Cal. 192 is part of the Venus 175 family of movements. It is a hand-winding column wheel chronograph movement. Similar to the base Venus 175/176, it adds a full calendar (day, date, month) and 12-hour chronograph counter at 6:00. The dial features a 3-6-9 subdial arrangement with day and month at 12 and a central date pointer.

Cal. 192 was introduced in 1950 and retired around 1960.
