For sale is a striking vintage Enicar chronograph from the 1950s, featuring a bold yet refined 34mm stainless steel case and powered by a reliable manual-wind movement. With its cream dial, contrasting sub-registers, red telemeter scale, and crisp black tachymeter, this piece embodies the golden age of mid-century chronograph design.
The stepped case lugs and beveled crystal give this vintage watch plenty of wrist presence despite its smaller size by modern standards. At 34mm, it wears beautifully and comfortably while delivering plenty of character. The movement inside remains in clean working condition, and the chrono pushers snap back crisply.
This is a quintessential example of why Enicar is gaining traction among collectors — a no-nonsense tool watch with just the right amount of elegance, perfectly suited for both casual and more tailored looks.
