Enicar Sherpa Guide 600 GMT World Timer — Ref. 166-35-04 | Rare Blue Dial | c. 1968-1969
For sale is a rare and highly collectible Enicar Sherpa Guide 600 GMT World Timer, reference 166-35-04, produced circa 1968-1969. This example stands out from the crowd with its desirable and uncommon blue dial — the vast majority of known examples feature a black dial, making this a genuinely rare find for serious collectors.
The watch: The blue dial shows beautiful age-appropriate patina, with the lume on the indices and hands having turned a warm cream/yellow — exactly the kind of honest aging that collectors seek. The acrylic crystal shows light surface marks consistent with its age, adding to the character of the piece. Crucially, the red GMT hand is present and intact — a component that is frequently missing on examples of this reference.
Case & bracelet: The stainless steel Piquerez Super-Compressor case is unpolished, retaining its original lines. The world time bezel with city names is present and legible, with the red ring intact. Perhaps most importantly, the original Enicar steel bracelet accompanies the watch — an increasingly rare find, as most examples surface on aftermarket straps or bracelets.
Movement: Automatic caliber 166, signed Enicar. Running at time of listing.
Specifications: Brand: Enicar Model: Sherpa Guide 600 GMT World Timer Reference: 166-35-04 Serial: 314962 Case diameter: 43mm (excluding crowns) Case material: Stainless steel Crystal: Acrylic Movement: Automatic, Cal. 166 Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date, GMT/24-hour hand, rotating world time bezel Dial: Original blue dial — rare variant Bracelet: Original Enicar stainless steel bracelet
For the collector: The Enicar Sherpa Guide 600 is one of the most sophisticated tool watches of the 1960s — a true world timer built to professional standards, worn by pilots, divers and explorers of its era. Finding one in this configuration — blue dial, original bracelet, GMT hand intact, unpolished case — is genuinely difficult. This is not a watch you come across every day.
