The watch features an attractive silver-tone dial with a delicate vertical brushed finish, complemented by polished silver-tone hands and applied hour markers with dark contrasting inserts. At 3 o'clock, a framed date window provides everyday practicality while preserving the harmonious proportions of the dial. The distinctive Enicar Saturn logo, positioned above the brand signature at 12 o'clock, gives the watch an immediately recognisable identity and recalls the brand's rich history of Swiss watchmaking.

Story & Heritage Enicar is a historic Swiss watchmaking brand founded in 1913 by Ariste Racine in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The brand name "Enicar" is derived from the founder's surname, Racine, written backwards. Throughout the 20th century, Enicar developed a reputation for producing reliable mechanical watches, combining Swiss precision with distinctive design and technical innovation. The brand became particularly recognised during the 1950s and 1960s for its robust mechanical watches and its association with exploration, sports and professional timekeeping. One of Enicar's most recognisable symbols is its Saturn logo, reflecting the brand's distinctive identity and forward-looking approach to watchmaking. This vintage Enicar reflects the elegant side of the brand's heritage. Its silver sunburst dial, applied hour markers and classic round case demonstrate the refined design language that characterised Swiss wristwatches during the 1960s. The practical date complication adds everyday functionality, while the traditional hand-wound mechanical movement recalls a period when winding a watch was part of the daily ritual of ownership. The engraved case back, featuring Enicar's distinctive decorative motifs, adds another layer of historical character to the piece. Today, vintage Enicar watches are appreciated by collectors for their Swiss heritage, mechanical craftsmanship and distinctive mid-century designs. This example offers an attractive combination of traditional Swiss engineering, elegant proportions and authentic vintage personality. A charming vintage Swiss mechanical watch for collectors and enthusiasts of classic horology. Internal Reference Number - VER-09
