With Heuer- and Omega-esque looks, Enicars often stand out for their colorful dials and unique case designs — especially those that use the unique SuperCompressor case popular in the 1960s. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece, a Sherpa OPS, stands out primarily due to its PVD-finished steel housing. Amongst the first of its kind (alongside the Heuer Monaco \"Dark Lord\" and DOXA Army), the OPS is based on the Sherpa 600, but was geared towards a decidedly military\/outdoors aesthetic. Finding one in excellent condition with its correct box, furthermore, is no simple feat — but we managed to do it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBearing the signs of a life well lived, this example features its original PVD finished 40mm Super Compressor case patented by \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eErvin Piquerez SA (EPSA)\u003c\/span\u003e with large crown guard assembly, twin signed crowns, an acrylic crystal, and a screw-down steel caseback. Its dial is in stunning condition: At the periphery, a rotating internal dive bezel with white and orange accents is joined by large rectangular tritium hour indices; a luminous 'baton' handset with an orange central seconds hand; and a 'roulette' date window at 3 o'clock. Powered by an Enicar-signed automatic movement, it comes paired to a black Tropic dive strap and includes its correct red inner box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOPS models are very rarely seen and are perhaps the most collectable model from the Enicar range — we don't know when we'll see another, so don't miss a chance to snap up this honest example!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Patek Philippe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42017927004247,"sku":"40992699","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS11273_40992699_ENICAR_SHERPAOPS-7.jpg?v=1760297618","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/enicar-sherpa-ops-as11273","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
