Show me your Enicars!

**j0hnbarker** · 31st May 2013, 18:12

Yes please!

I have my eye on an Enicar and wanted to see/learn more about what appears to be an undervalued brand with some really interesting vintage pieces.

Over to you :)

I have a Super Compresor too but dont have a pic.

The Star Diver is a beauty. Someone must have unearthed a bunch of them from somewhere as there were a few NOS examples knocking around a while back.

The last one I saw for sale was on here about five years ago now. A rare beasty.

These are my Enicars to date.

The last one is missing some bezel parts...........

**Meinessex** · 1st June 2013, 10:21

What a great thread. Super cool watches. Keep 'em coming Enicar owners.

**j0hnbarker** · 1st June 2013, 10:52

Yep - some crackers here, particularly the Sherpa Jet and Star Diver.

Please keep them coming, and if anyone has any shots of the large 70s man-cased 340 auto, then I'd be particularly keen to take a look :)

I found this one in a Budapest street market some years back, and it's going strong to this day:

Remarkable variety of watches from them in this thread...

**TheFlyingBanana** · 13th June 2013, 08:17

Enicar are a great vintage brand, definitely one of my favourites along with Favre Leuba and Nivada Grenchen.

I've had a few over the years, including that superb one witht he multi-tone dial that John has posted a pic of above.

Currently I have this fabulous Sherpa Guide World Time in proper original unmolested condition:

These are properly big and hefty pieces, unsually so for the era, as they are about 44mm exc crowns IIRC.

**primabaleron** · 11th December 2013, 20:21

My first Sherpa:

**number2** · 11th December 2013, 20:34

Thanks for posting this thread, always great to learn something more.

**Keyser** · 11th December 2013, 20:36

This is a terrific thread! I'm learning about some great watches and a brand which was mostly alien to me!

**primabaleron** · 11th December 2013, 20:51

and then I could not stop.

**Dapper** · 11th December 2013, 21:34

All I have is this crown.......

**malus65** · 11th December 2013, 22:25

I bought from a retired watchmaker a nos Sherpa date and another day-date model:

Yup - think about Racine backwards: http://the-watching.blogspot.co.uk/2...ar-jewels.html

**jk103** · 12th December 2013, 00:49

The Enicar brand by Racine sure had some timeless designs. Although now owned by a Chinese (co. consortium or whatever) I really can't believe the brand lays in mothballs.

Given there seems to be a resurgence of older designs and names with recognition I am surprised Enicar isn't used to it's current owners advantage.

Good thread.

**redsnapper** · 12th December 2013, 09:11

Saw lots of advertising for Enicar in mainland China and Hong Kong when I was over there during the summer. Just run of the mill modern stuff though. These vintage models look super.
