Vintage Enicar Ultrasonic Mens watch. Restored and re-oiled ready for a new life after nearly 75 years since it was first made. The ultrasonic range of this swiss watch maker references the rather innovative procedure of cleaning the mechanisms using ultrasonic sound waves during the manufacturing process.
This particular watch was presented to a Mr P Brown in 1948 from ICI and would have been worn with pride for many years. Now a new chapter is waiting for this particular time piece, but with a long history of use dating back to the early years after WW2.
Anthony here in the workshop has a special hobby of taking vintage watches apart, cleaning them, re-oiling the parts, replacing any broken parts and putting a new strap (original strap is included if we still have it).
Restored to its original condition with lasting quality, it is sure to be an eye-catching piece.

Known defects: As with all vintage watches, there will be signs of genuine wear and use. These really enhance the beauty of these watches as they are evidence of a history. Every blemish, every scratch is a nod to its past. On this watch, we have noticed that the case has some minor scratches as has the back, some of which can be seen in the pictures.
The crystal (acrylic face) is new. The dial, although in really good condition for its age will have some very minor marks and the hands will likewise have some signs of age but have been relumed for nightime glow.
