Enicar’s Sherpa was introduced in the 1950s as a line of tough, water resistant watches for adventurers. The present example is a Sherpa Graph, the chronograph of the line. At 40 mm with attractive sculptural lugs and an extremely sporty chronograph dial, the size and look are perfect. Jim Clark, 1965 Formula 1 champion known for wearing Gallet watches, also wore a Sherpa Graph.
