Enicar - Ocean Pearl - No reserve price - Men - 1960-1969

Enicar Ocean Pearl “Star Jewels” – Swiss Mechanical – Stainless Steel – 36 mm A characterful vintage Enicar Ocean Pearl distinguished by its strong stainless-steel case, silver sunburst dial and unmistakable mid-century styling. The applied hour markers, faceted hands and red-accented central seconds hand create an attractive and well-balanced composition. At approximately 36 mm, the watch offers excellent wrist presence while retaining the elegant proportions associated with vintage Swiss watches. Its naturally aged dial and original Ocean Pearl-themed case back give this example an authentic personality that cannot be reproduced by modern watches.

Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the condition description. Story & Heritage Enicar occupies a fascinating place in Swiss watchmaking history. The company’s distinctive name was created by reversing the surname of its founding family, Racine—a clever identity that became associated with reliable mechanical movements, adventurous designs and robust sports watches. The Ocean Pearl family reflects the period when Swiss manufacturers were increasingly combining elegant styling with stronger, more practical cases. The maritime case-back motif and planetary Enicar emblem give the watch a particularly evocative identity, recalling an era of exploration and growing enthusiasm for purpose-built wristwatches. With its substantial steel case, silver dial and honest vintage patina, this Ocean Pearl is more than a timekeeper: it is a surviving piece of Enicar’s celebrated design heritage and an appealing acquisition for collectors of distinctive Swiss mechanical watches.
