Often when things are complicated, it means more stress and more effort, but in the end, it's worth it. This same idea holds true for complicated vintage wristwatches whose craftsmen created timepieces transcend art and talent. When it comes to vintage wristwatches, the highest realms of respect and value are often reserved for watches that do much more than merely tell time.

The classic and complicated Enicar wristwatch showcased in today's offering is an example of this phenomenon - and available within a price range that is not exclusive.

Equipped with complications that display the day of the week unusually in an aperture by 12 and the date using a hand, our favorite method for showing a date, it's a fine display of precision to be enjoyed on the wrist

It has just finished a true expertly done restoration - its presents in incredible condition.

Its case presents as mint. Its dial has been restored by one of the leading dial experts in North America.

A Master Watchmaker has overhauled the movement, and we have installed a new mineral glass crystal to give a clear view of the calendar dial.

For the finishing touch we have installed a new leather strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate. 

Enicar:
For those unfamiliar, Enicar made high quality Swiss watches that rivaled the quality of those of Breitling, Tag Heuer, and other more recognized luxury brands. Particularly popular in Asia, where prices for their watches were lower than the companies competing for market share in the luxury market yet of similar quality, Enicar carved out a very successful business. Their watches like the Seapearl 600 faired on par or better in U.S. Navy's tests than the Rolex Submariner 6538 and Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Milspec and their Seapearl scaled Everest on the wrist of Albert Eggler's expedition party.

Enicar is the Swiss watch mogul and founder Ariste Racine's last name spelled backwards.
