Gents 1960s Enicar Supertest Sea Pearl Wrist Watch

Gents 1960s Enicar Supertest Sea Pearl wrist watch.

The watch has a 33-jewel automatic movement, an in-house Enicar 1125, which is working nicely... you can sometimes hear the rotor ball bearings moving around.

The watch measures 35mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is gold plated and is in very nice condition. The stainless steel case back has the Sea Pearl logo and is also signed with the Enicar name.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in good original condition with original hands, centre seconds and an early quickset date (set by repeatedly moving the hands backwards and forwards between 12 midnight and 8pm until the desired date is reached).

In 1913, Ariste Racine and his wife founded Manufacture d'Horlogerie Ariste Racine, the company that would eventually become Enicar. The name Racine was already trademarked by someone else so Emma Racine suggested taking the family name and reversing it.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
