The company's first automatic "chronometer" wristwatch was called the Enicar Supertest. It was a caliber 1124 with 30 jewels. Although it wasn't officially a chronometer as it wasn't officially tested by whatever testing agency, Enicar tested the watch via an inhouse testing procedure of three days with a maximum tolerance of five seconds. Each individual watch was given a certificate with all of the test's results.
This Supertest is running true to its heritage and presents very nicely. It is complemented well by its original Enicar Beads of Rice style bracelet.
It presents beautifully on the wrist.
One of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.
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.
