Description
This is a vintage 1960s Enicar Sherpa Jet uncommon vintage watch. This hefty 36.5mm stainless steel Enicar-signed case with screw back is quite chunky at 10mm thick not including the crystal. The original twin Enicar-signed crowns are present, one to set the watch and the top to rotate the white inner bezel, which allows timekeeping in two time zones. The black-glossy original dial is absolutely clean and features roulette (alternating red to black) date. The automatic winding Enicar movement is keeping time quite well. The original steel Enicar bracelet is also included. Enicar was made famous during Mount Everest expeditions in the 1950s, when they were the chosen watch by mountain climbers – hence the name “Sherpa.”
