- Identity and Case Architecture
- Catalogued as an Enicar Sherpa OPS reference 144/35/03 dating to circa the 1960s, this diving wristwatch features a black PVD-coated super compressor case measuring approximately 41 mm across. The profile incorporates integrated crown guards on the right side flanking two Enicar anti-slip crowns. The auction description reports that the numbered case back is signed Enicar Watch Co and embossed with a Sherpa 600 emblem. However, the reverse of the case is not depicted in the available photograph, and the specific reference and movement numbers are not recorded in this source.
- Movement and Reported Condition Issues
- The movement is listed by the auction house as an automatic caliber signed Enicar, reported as working at present. The movement has not been directly inspected or photographed, leaving its caliber designation unverified. A mechanical defect is specifically noted: the top crown for the inner rotating bezel is not functioning, does not screw down on its thread, and comes loose. Additionally, the lot includes an accompanying dark green presentation box, which the source notes is broken at its hinges.
