History Enicar, founded in 1914 by Ariste Racine (whose surname spelled backwards gave the brand its name), built a reputation for producing robust, high-quality, and innovative timepieces. The "Ultrasonic" designation, introduced in the 1950s, referred to a state-of-the-art ultrasonic cleaning process used on the movement components prior to assembly. This process allowed the oil to adhere better to the parts, significantly extending the service intervals and improving the overall reliability of the watches. Enicar's commitment to precision and durability made their watches highly popular, and models like this Ultrasonic remain beloved by collectors for their distinctive design language and dependable in-house or heavily modified calibers.
