Enicar for Birks, F45 "Big Eye" Chronograph

Swiss. This stainless steel Enicar Big Eye chronograph, retailed by Canadian jeweler Birks, represents a significant professional-grade tool watch from the 1960s. Nicknamed the "Big Eye" for its oversized 45-minute register at the 3 o'clock position, this specific "F45" variant was uniquely designed to track the 45-minute duration of a football halftime. The timepiece is powered by a manual-wind movement, which Enicar specifically modified to extend the standard 30-minute counter to 45 minutes. Its classic aesthetic features a black dial with high-contrast white registers and is paired with a black leather strap. Without box and papers.
