Owner Review: Enicar «Super Jet» by @thatmalchik
The Super Jet: Perfect Contradiction The Enicar Super Jet is my ultimate oddball of the late 60s tool watch era. A square peg GMT crammed perfectly into the dive watch circle hole. A bit of an oddball myself, I can’t help but feel a little too well summed up by an in the air tool…

Owner Review: Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor
I will be honest and say it first, I had never heard of Christopher Ward and it sure wasn’t on my radar. Not until I was scrolling through Instagram reading posts about new releases and ran into a repost of the Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor and man oh man was I intrigued. Immediately I…

Owner Review: Enicar Super Dive – The Ship That Never Sailed

Owner Review: Enicar Sherpa OPS Super Compressor
As unique as it may be, the Enicar Sherpa OPS Super Compressor was probably missed by the collectors of the past, often overshadowed by its bigger friends of Submariner, Seamaster and the like. Usually unnoticed in watch fairs, it certainly lacked the attention that it should have drawn. With the huge variety in diving watches,…

Owner Review: Orven De Luxe Super-Compressor
In the 1960s, Australian import duties on watches were high, lower on watch parts, this led to a number of companies bringing in cases and movements, assembling and rebranding them. Orven was one such company, based in Melbourne, they predominantly created dress watches for sale through independent jewellers. In much the same way that you…
