This lot features an Enicar Sherpa Divette 33 diver's wristwatch catalogued as originating in Switzerland circa 1968. The stainless steel case measures 36 mm in diameter and 11 mm in thickness, fitted with a bi-directional rotatable bezel and a screw-down caseback.

- Case and Bracelet Construction
- The timepiece features a stainless steel case catalogued with dimensions of 36 mm in diameter, 11 mm in height, and a lug width of 19 mm. The case is equipped with a screw-down caseback and a bi-directional rotatable bezel displaying elapsed-time numerals. According to the auctioneer, the watch case is identified by number 100/2132 and has a reported total weight of 77 grams. The watch is fitted with an original stainless steel strap described as having a folding clasp, with a reported length of 20 cm. Observations note a multi-row beads-of-rice style configuration on the steel bracelet.
- Dial Configuration and Condition
- The dial is black with silver hands and features a date display window positioned at the 12 o'clock marker. Observations confirm the dial is signed 'ENICAR AUTOMATIC' and 'Sherpa DIVETTE 33'. The cataloguer notes that the rotating bezel and luminescent mass are age-related faded, with general traces of wear observed on the exterior surfaces.
- Movement Description and Catalog Discrepancy
- The auction description catalogues the watch as housing a gold-plated manual-wind movement, calibre Enicar 1145, indicating hours, minutes, central seconds, and date. However, this catalogued description directly conflicts with the visible dial signature, which explicitly states 'AUTOMATIC'. Because internal movement images and interior caseback stamps are not visible in the provided auction documentation, the actual caliber, winding system, and internal finishing cannot be verified. The auction records the watch as originating in Switzerland, circa 1968.
