The Enicar Seapearl holds a significant place in horological history. It was tested by the United States Navy in the 1950s along with Rolex and Blancpain watches for potential issued use. While it never became an issued watch, it still made it on the wrists of many divers and was touted for it's water resistance and compact build. More significant to the Seapearl's story was Enicar's use of the watch for an expedition to summit Mount Everest in 1956. Later iterations of the Seapearl showed the "Sherpa" moniker as a nod to the success of the expedition and the watch's capabilities. Sherpa of course later became the most successful line of watches that Enicar produced, cementing the Seapearl as a major piece of Enicar's story.

This particular example is a reference 140/013 and features a silver sunburst dial with arabic numberals. The super compressor case was designed for maximum water tightness and still shows it's engravings on the caseback. This charming watch piece comes on the brown suede strap shown.
