Cronografos? What are they and where are they from ?

Having been a tad disappointed by the new 1940 Chronos ( I really don't like those new dials) I thought I'd look at a few other Chronos and I have just seen these Radiomir Cronografos

 

I really like the look of them with their large Ferrari'esq crowns.

But I can't find anything about them , does anyone know what they are and where they come from ?

Even seems to have the same exact lug design / case shape as the apparently later designs of the Ferrari watches.  I would assume that these are the precursors to the Ferrari contracted chronos, but that is just a guess.  Wonder if these actually were in production prior to the Scuderia or Granturismo's? 

 

On a side note, before I clicked on the link, I completely thought you were being facetious about the entire thing, lol.  What's a Chronograph? :partytime:

I saw a new model on the SIHH 2014 for similar look.

however, it used the same movement as Montblanc ??? (Minerva Movement)
