Vintage 1960s Enicar Star Jewels Mens Watch Swiss Manual Wind Date Steel 32mm

About this watch

This Enicar has a champagne dial with applied baton markers, the Enicar logo, "Star Jewels", "Swiss Made" and a date window at 3 o'clock; the dial shows an even, age-related patina.

The 32mm stainless steel case features angular lugs and a screw-down back with Enicar's emblem, marked Antimagnetic and Waterproof. It houses an Enicar Swiss manual-wind movement, shown in the photos, and is fitted to a black leather strap.

Brand heritage

Enicar was founded in 1914 by Ariste Racine in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland; the name is simply "Racine" spelled backwards. Enicar became a respected manufacture producing its own movements, and in the 1950s it gained fame through Himalayan expeditions, including the 1956 Swiss Everest-Lhotse expedition, which inspired its celebrated Sherpa line. Its mid-century dress watches, often signed "Star Jewels", are admired for their quality.
