1950s Enicar Sherpa Dive
Why This Watch Matters
This Enicar Sherpa is an early example of the cool tool watch that we know and love.
The Full Story
The Sherpa line from Enicar was introduced in November of 1956, after an Enicar was used in a summit of Mount Everest; henceforth, all of its explorer or tool watches bore the Sherpa moniker. There was the Sherpa Date, Sherpa GMT, Sherpa World Timer, and Sherpa Diver like the one we have here. This is an early example from the late 1950s / early 1960s and has an unusual center seconds hand. It boasts a rotating bezel and black dial with tritium lume plots. This Enicar is sure to set you apart.

What we Love and What You Should Know
Overall this watch is in fair condition with light scratches throughout the case. The dial shows the most age with light spotting consistently covering the dial. The tritium has also aged and the lume plot is missing from the top of the bezel. However all of these condition traits are characteristic of a 1950s watch.
