Why This Watch Matters This Enicar is a true tool watch, from the well-respected Valjoux 72 chronograph movement down to the resilient 40 mm compressor case with unusual bezel – you won’t want to miss this one. The Full Story Vintage Enicar watches are hot right now, being recognized for both the quality and resilience of their designs. These timepieces were intended to be tool watches, and were originally used as such by competitive race drivers. The Aqua Graph features a 40 mm compressor case (with cross-hatch crown) that wears comfortably on the wrist, and the dial is well balanced with easy legibility. One special thing about this watch is the unusual bezel with an independently rotating red ring that allows the wearer to time two separate events. The chronograph movement is nothing less than the ubiquitous Valjoux 72, and the timing is easily tracked in the oversized sub registers. Functionally and aesthetically, this watch nails it.

The dial is in good condition and displays a very nice patina, but the lume on the hands is slightly lighter than on the indexes. The case does not show signs of polishing, as evidenced by the full lugs. There are some superficial scratches to the lugs, case band, and at 55 on the bezel, and the case back has some heavier scratches. The rotating bezel with two parts is rare to recover in full, but you should note that the base of the bezel is looser than normal.
