This is a 31 mm medium sized 1950s watch, it is available fully serviced, the Enicar Co. made quite a few of these Calatrava like watches for worldwide distribution, the caliber is a workhorse A.Schild 1361N (Same calibre as a Blancpain 50 Fathoms First Issue!)
This caliber is a very unique movement, and has a truly beautiful reverser system that allows the watch to be rewound with fairly little movement. I have restored this movement myself, and found it to be a very sweet timing machine.
(For the vintage buffs, yes this is correct as I recently a Blancpain 50 Fathoms First Issue 1950s and found the same exact movement inside of it, I also have pics proving it is verifiable by experts.)
ENICAR is deserving of it's place in vintage history, so please note that the watch has a brass case (Bronze only for Chrono24 listings) the chromed tips of the case are very worn, but the original shape is still very good. The watch has a fantastic dial and hands combo, you can see the quad shaped sun rays finish on the Arabic numerals dial, the lume is untouched, and is likely radium.
The lugs on this watch are 16 mm, and all I can find is a Hirsch strap.
The watch will be sold fully tested, checked for accuracy. The time keeping is a wonderful +/- 15 secs. per day ! Please note that.We are a registered business in B.C. and our B/N details are on the homepage.
