While a white dial variant exists, this particular piece features a matte black reverse panda dial. The shape of the luminescent indices has been modified from the Mark 4, and it includes a 300-scale tachymeter, later succeeded by the introduction of a 500-scale. The case inherits the same type as the Super Compressor with a Sherpa 300 pearly case back. It houses the column-wheel Valjoux 72 movement, a chronograph powerhouse also featured in timepieces like the Rolex Daytona and Heuer Carrera. The case boasts sharp edges and superlative proportions, with distinct edges on the multi-faceted cut lugs. Original pushes and crowns exhibit no play or scratches, ensuring a robust operability. The dial and hands are in mint condition, with the tritium in a rich beige hue offering a delightful texture. Minor scratches around the 28-minute mark are light crystal scratches, so rest assured. The glossy silver mirror-finish tachymeter displays a rainbow-like sheen resembling an oil film. The fact that the original bracelet is in pristine condition indicates minimal prior usage of this timepiece. Fully serviced by our company, it confirms a power reserve of 45 hours. The Sherpa Graph, first manufactured in 1960, began its legacy with the super compressor case that was reputedly waterproof to 160 feet (50m). Popularized by legendary British racing driver Stirling Moss, the watch rapidly gained acclaim for its brilliant sports-oriented design, blending the robust Sherpa construction with automobile-inspired aesthetics. BRAND The legendary "Sherpa Graph," favored by racing drivers, is a masterpiece from Enicar, a brand with a history dating back to 1854. The Sherpa series, especially, stands as a representative model for the brand. Encasing the renowned "Valjoux 72" chronograph movement in an EPSA-manufactured waterproof case, the Sherpa series garnered support from numerous adventurers, being utilized in extreme conditions such as Everest and Antarctic explorations. Despite its racing focus, the robust Sherpa name perseveres, achieving glory alongside racing drivers like Jim Clark. It became a long-lasting hit from 1960 to 1969.
