The Venus Cal. 210 was a cam-switching chronograph movement. Unlike the earlier 14 ligne Venus 188, Cal. 210 was reduced to 12.5 ligne (28.2 mm) in diameter. It functioned similarly, however, and the related Venus 211 introduced an unusual big date complication.

Cal. 210 was introduced in 1953 and retired around 1963.
