Condition Grade: B Condition Report This vintage Enicar Ocean Pearl is presented in Condition Grade B, showing signs of age and use consistent with a vintage watch. The stainless steel case shows light scratches and surface marks from normal wear. The silver dial retains its attractive original vintage character and displays visible ageing, patina, small marks and spotting, particularly noticeable toward the lower section of the dial. The applied indexes and hands remain well defined, while the acrylic crystal shows signs of normal use. The black leather strap is a later generic replacement. These age-related characteristics contribute to the authentic appearance of the watch rather than giving it the appearance of a modern restoration. The watch has not been tested for water resistance; therefore, water resistance is not guaranteed. Please study all photos carefully, as they are part of the description and show the actual condition of the item. Story & Heritage Founded in Switzerland in 1913, Enicar became particularly recognized during the mid-20th century for producing reliable mechanical watches ranging from elegant everyday models to robust sports and exploration watches. The Ocean Pearl name belongs to the period in which Enicar increasingly emphasized durable cases and practical wristwatches designed for everyday use. The engraved case back is particularly attractive, combining the Ocean Pearl identity with Enicar’s distinctive visual language. The famous Saturn emblem visible on the dial became one of Enicar’s most recognizable signatures and today gives the brand’s vintage watches an unmistakable identity among collectors. With its 34 mm stainless steel case, 25-jewel mechanical movement, date complication and naturally aged silver dial, this Ocean Pearl captures the restrained elegance of classic Swiss watchmaking from the 1960s and early 1970s. A charming vintage Enicar for collectors who appreciate authentic patina, traditional mechanical movements and distinctive mid-century Swiss watches. Internal Reference Number - ITM 920
