My Enicar Sherpa Super Dive says hello. Suspect mine still has its original crystal on it which has become quite spiderwebbed over time . . . i personally think it is beautiful. Love the angular lugs too. In it's beat up state, it's still easily one of the favourite watches I own.

Never seen such a 'spidery' crystal!

Makes it look like quartz crystal, or granite 😎...👍!

Here's mine. Very happy with it.

Nice and very clean examples here. Cool

I purchased my first Enicar, a Sherpa ultradive, ref. 144/35/03, without further research on the brand or this particular model. I was totally flashed by these sculpted faceted lugs with radiused edges. Enicar's in-house automatic movement cal. AR 1145 was a welcomed plus.

Note the large crowns guard which differentiates the ultradive from from the super-DIVE.

Enjoy,

Mick

Together with the Enicar Sherpa ultradive I got this Enicar Jet GRAPH GMT, ref. 072-02-02A.

The movement, a Valjoux cal. 724, drives an additional 24h hand showing a second time zone on the rotating bezel. The red ring with the pointer can be turned independently of the bezel.

Although the dial looks rather traditional (but note Enicar's signature square arrangement of the lume dots) the compressor case with bayonet back features these special heavy faceted lugs we know from, e.g., Enicar's dive watches.

Cheers,

Mick

Incredible Enicars, Mick.

If you ever need help with downsizing the collection, please keep me in mind!

Again, Enicar's massive faceted lugs on this little Sherpa Diver 600, ref. 100/116BaANXS.

I love the rich dial with the huge lumed indices, the massive hands (note the heavy second hand), and the embossed scripts and logo …

… and these golden freckles.

Cheers,

Mick

Unfortunately not.

First I loved the divers and then I discovered the other models. This was before the current "Jim Clark" hype around the Valjoux cal. 72 chronographs.

As most Enicar models come in many variants, I really would like to see more watches from other collectors.

This is an early Enicar Sherpa GRAPH, ref. 072/001, driven by a Valjoux cal. 72.

I like these paddle hands capped by red tips.

Cheers,

Mick

Not sure why we don't see these much in our Ω sales forum, but at least we can enjoy them here vicariously!

I must put in another Dibs here, too... 🙄..😀

Brench · Nov 3, 2015

I am curious to know too hehe. Mick? 😉

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the inner case back...
Still searching for a sherpa graph...

I got in two new ones this week:

Today (at last!), from Indonesia:

I'm very pleased with this one. The dial/hands are great condition, bezel has a very nice grey fade, and the case is unpolished! The crystal has some cracking that looks like dial blemishes in the photos.

The caseback engravings are in really fine shape, too. I haven't looked at the movement myself yet, but timekeeping and amplitudes are c/w good 'health'.

She's a keeper!
