- Dial Configuration and Hands
- The watch features a gold-toned dial layout with dual subsidiary dials positioned at 3 and 9 o'clock. The hours are marked by applied metallic Arabic numerals, framed by an outer tachymeter scale printed around the dial edge and calibrated for '1 MILE'. The dial is marked with 'ENICAR' below the maker logo beneath 12 o'clock, with 'SWISS MADE' located along the lower perimeter at the 6 o'clock position. The register sub-dials and central hands track standard analog timekeeping alongside the chronograph function.
- Case Construction and Pushers
- The round case measures 33 by 42.5 mm and is listed as having an acrylic crystal. While the auction lot title refers to 'Stainless Steel', the text description states that the case features 'a gold-plated finish' accompanied by a 'Stainless steel snap down' case back. The chronograph mechanism is controlled by rectangular pushers located at 2 and 4 o'clock flanking the winding crown. The total weight of the item is reported as 40.7 grams, and it is fitted to a brown genuine leather strap with a tang buckle.
- Reported Movement and Documentation Limits
- The auction catalog records the movement as a 'Venus 188 manual wind chronograph' and lists a production period of the '1960s'. Because available imagery is restricted to a single dial-side photograph, the internal caliber, bridge markings, and operating condition are not visually confirmed in the record. Additionally, the case back is not visible in the provided photo, precluding independent visual confirmation of any exterior stamps or reference numbers. The catalog marks 'Model/Number' as 'N/A'.

Research required
- Research required: Internal movement caliber Venus 188 and snap-down stainless steel case back are reported by the auctioneer but cannot be visually verified from the single dial-side photo
- Research required: The auction title refers to 'Stainless Steel' while the specifications clarify a gold-plated case with a stainless steel back
