A beautifully oversized 1950s Enicar — pure mid-century charm with the proportions of a modern watch. This model features a 37mm case, unusually large for its era, paired with Enicar’s in-house 17-jewel manual-wind movement, recently tested and running well.
The silver dial is original with light aging that gives it warmth without compromising readability. The applied numerals, small-seconds register, and the brand’s iconic space-age logo make this a standout piece from one of Switzerland’s most underrated makers.
This is vintage Enicar at its best: clean, character-filled, and incredibly wearable.
