Switzerland has been neutral in both World Wars. These wars didn't much harm to Switzerland. In 1914 in Switzerland was accommodating 1,8 billion Swiss Francs as savings; at the end of W.W. II this amount came to 6,6 billion Swiss Francs. If we take 1914 as an index 100, 1945 would come to 209, so the (inflation) adjusted figure would still come to 3,2 billion Swiss Francs. ENICAR did good trades with many military forces all over the world. After the W.W. II ENICAR had to focus on regular consumers. This is an excellent and beautifully preserved vintage watch with an affordable price.
Swiss made ENICAR watches (1913-1988) were and still are high end wrist watches, that were/are equaling the quality of watches made by Rolex, Omega, IWC and many others. On second hand markets prices are remaining relatively high. Very early Enicar watches and clocks made for the aviation industry have become very rare.
Collectors have to be careful as many copies and illegal watches - named ENICAR - are offered worldwide. ENICAR watches made after 1988 are in no way related to the original Enicar watches.
A very nice and rare example here the Enicar Nivaflex is a mid-size watch. There are only a few Nivaflex offered worldwide and this one comes with a beautiful green lizard strap, but could very well be worn with a NATO strap. The watch shows it’s honest vintage appearance with the signature of usage/ scratches over several decades of wear, but it remains unique, beautiful and functional. Although it was produced to be waterproof originally it should be protected from soaking.
It’s number two in my Enicar vintage collection and very reasonably priced and in perfect
