Enicar Ultrasonic Sherpa question

Engee · May 20, 2022

I'm looking at this Enicar and while it looks nice the hands are giving me cause for concern. Apart from the fact that they appear much darker than the rest of the furniture, they seem to be the wrong shape. Other similar Enicars have much more elegant, thinner handsets than these.

Do you think this is a replacement handset, and if so, how easy might it be to replace them with correct hands?

Thank you for any guidance.

I don't think the hands are correct as they have no lume and dial has lume.

The apparent dark color is likely just a trick of the light, but I agree 100% that they should have lume.

I bought this Enicar Ultrasonic SEAPEARL Sherpa Automatic 17 Jewel watch a few years ago, estate sale. Tried then to find out more about it, did not find much, got it out tonight, found your forum, hoping someone can tell me more about it. Never have taken the back off.

"Strange" dial with " automatic" Never seen an automatic version. Voilà mine:

Yours are different versions. The Automatic is in the famous crab / Turtle case. Automatic versions are well known and were advertised by Enicar. They even build Automatic Chronometer versions. I have one of these that attended the 1957/58 Geophyscial Year expedition. More about it here:
