The Enicar Sherpa Super Dive Ref. 144-35-02 is one of the most charismatic and uncommon dive watches of the 1960s. Combining bold proportions, innovative engineering, and unmistakable design, the Super Dive represents everything that makes vintage Enicar such a compelling field for collectors today.
 
Following the successful 1956 Swiss Everest expedition, during which Enicar watches accompanied a team of Swiss mountaineers and Sherpas to the summit, the brand adopted the Sherpa name for its professional tool watches. Over the following years, the Sherpa collection expanded into a vast range of references and complications, becoming the most celebrated chapter in Enicar's history.
This particular Super Dive combines a classic Super Compressor case with an internal rotating dive bezel and date display, creating one of the most versatile and capable dive watches of its era. Manufactured by the renowned case maker Ervin Piquerez S.A. (EPSA), the stainless steel Super Compressor case measures approximately 40 mm in diameter with a lug-to-lug length of 49 mm and a thickness of 13.5 mm. These dimensions were remarkably modern for the period and continue to give the watch an impressive presence on the wrist today.
 
An increasingly difficult reference to source in this condition, the Sherpa Super Dive offers a combination of rarity, history, and distinctive design that sets it apart from its contemporaries. A spectacular example of one of the most desirable models in the Enicar catalogue.
