A superb example of Enicar’s renowned early 1970s automatic, this Ref. 167-01-26 (serial 2363) stands out with its vibrant gold-tone dial and case, preserved in simply stunning condition. Crisp original finishing, sharply defined hour markers, and a vivid Saturn logo speak to its careful handling over the decades. The day-date display at 3 o’clock adds utility without sacrificing the clean vintage aesthetic. Truly an ideal acquisition for collectors in search of an Enicar that captures the brand’s distinctive space-age charm and technical sophistication.

Dial and Hands  
The dial impresses with its rich sunburst gold finish, crisp printed Enicar script, and bold Saturn logo at twelve. Applied hour markers retain sharp facets and black inlays for optimal legibility. The luminous plots and gold hands remain vibrant and original, with no visible damage. The day-date windows are clean and precisely framed.

Case and Crystal  
The 35mm gold-plated case retains well-defined edges and lugs, exhibiting only light surface marks consistent with gentle use. The stainless steel screw-back is deeply engraved with the iconic Enicar dolphin and waves medallion, remaining sharp and clear. Distinctive Saturn-signed crown is original and fully functional. Crystal is clear and scratch-free.

History  
Enicar, established in the early 20th century, earned a reputation for innovation and durability, most famously with their Sherpa line. In the late 1960s and early ’70s, their automatics epitomized the era’s fascination with space-age motifs—as seen with the Saturn logo—and robust engineering. The reference 167-01-26 is a classic representation of the brand’s inventive spirit and enduring build quality.
