ENICAR Sherpa Guide 33 ref.146/001 cal.AR1146 / 43mm World Time GMT

— An early example showing where a masterpiece began —

Among Enicar's celebrated Sherpa Guide models — world time, GMT and an inner rotating bezel — ref.146/001 is the Mark II.

Uniting the complex functions of GMT and world time through legibility and design, the Sherpa Guide concentrates Enicar's engineering and its sense of beauty.

The Sherpa Guide, Enicar's masterpiece fusing world time and GMT. A commanding 43mm Super Compressor, well ahead of its period. Dependable world-time function from the 33-jewel in-house Cal.AR1146. Functional beauty from a sunray silver dial and a vivid outer ring. Superb vintage with the lug edges and the bezel colour beautifully intact.

— A presence beyond the norms of its day —

The 43mm Enicar Sherpa Guide was born when 36mm tool watches and 32mm dress watches were the norm.

That size has the force of wearing an alarm clock, and gives the wrist a definite presence.

— An expression woven from light and function —

A sunray silver dial, with a luminous 24-hour hand and a 24-hour ring around the periphery.

The contrast drawn by the colour-coded world-time bezel combines usefulness with real visual richness.

— Dependable construction and function —

An EPSA Super Compressor case. The movement inside is Enicar's Cal.AR1146.

A GMT hand making one revolution in 24 hours, a rotating pointer marked with city names and a red bidirectional inner bezel together let you read time around the world.

— The jewel count behind the name —

The Sherpa Guide Mark I had 30 synthetic ruby jewels; from the Mark II this rose to 33, which is where the name Sherpa Guide 33 comes from.

— Beauty across the years —

The lug edges are firmly intact and the overall condition is good.

The orange line on the outer bezel remains strong in colour and does not spoil the impression.

For someone who loves to travel, a better companion is hard to find.
