Enicar AR 1145 - Manual Wind Date - ca. 1970 - 36mm Enicar manual-wind date wristwatch from circa 1970, in a cushion-shaped chromed case of approximately 36mm and stainless steel caseback. Silver dial with applied rose-gold faceted baton indices, date at 3 o'clock, driven by Enicar's in-house AR-signed caliber. Enicar was founded in 1913 in La Chaux-de-Fonds by Ariste Racine — the brand name is his surname reversed, and the "AR" stamped on the movement is his maker's mark. While Enicar is best known among collectors for its Sherpa sport and dive line, the brand's bread-and-butter through the late 1960s and early 1970s was exactly this kind of in-house manual-wind dress watch: Swiss-made, fully signed movement, conservative dial layout. This example carries the warm two-tone look of the period — gilt hands against rose-gold applied markers on a silver dial. - Movement: Manual wind, Enicar AR-signed in-house caliber, 24 jewels (as marked) - Case: cromed cushion shape, ~36mm (excluding crown), polished finish - Dial: Silver with applied rose-gold faceted baton indices, gilt baton hands - Date: Framed aperture at 3 o'clock - Crystal: Acrylic - Strap: Aftermarket black leather, 20mm, generic buckle - Functions: Hours, minutes, central seconds, date - Water resistance: Untested for current vintage seal - Year: ca. 1970 The watch presents in very good condition for its age: the dial is clean with light even aging, the applied markers and gilt hands are intact, the polished case shows only light handling wear, and the acrylic crystal is clear. A clean-dialed Enicar manual-wind in this 36mm steel format remains an accessible entry into a respected vintage Swiss name, with the brand's premium concentrated on its sport references rather than dress pieces like this.
