Sherpa Steward 33

[jbcollier]

As you saw in WRUW, it arrived safe and sound, whew! It’s a later Sherpa Steward with the newer Enicar under Saturn logo. It also has a 33J movement as compared to the earlier 30J and 24J versions with the Enicar in Saturn logo.















Fired right up with a few twists of the wrist and is keeping good time. I bought it out of France and it is the first I have ever seen on offer.

I would be delighted to see photos of other Steward, Stewardess and Pilote watches!

If anyone has a Stewardess for sale, I’d be very interested.

Contgratulations! That's a really nice find!

I remember seeing a few white dialed examples with the older big logo before, but this is the first time I see a small logo black dial Steward.

I've always been curious about the Enicar Steward & Enicar Stewardess watches since I've never seen photos of these watches. Were these watches used as GMT watches or world time watches? Based on photos, it doesn't seem to have a GMT hand and has a bezel, albeit it doesn't seem like its being used to track time zones. I got the impression that these were used for aircraft employees who were traveling between time zones?

Thats correct, hence the name

"The Enicar Steward is a novelity, especially invented for the crew of a ship or a plane."





"The Enicar Stewardess is a new creation, especially developed for the flying personel."

and here you have the instructions, how to use it. Sadly just in French, but you will figure it out

I'll post proper photos when the crystal is polished. It's pretty rough and makes the dial look worse than it actually is. There are a number of earlier Stewards shown here:

Read this post about the Enicar Seapearl transition to the Enicar Sherpa and the development of other early single crown Enicar Sherpa models.

And I have found one for sale in Malaysia. It's the Stewardess that draws a blank.

There was a collector at German Uhrforum who I remember had a Stewardess, but he is blocked there now and all pics disappeared

Thanks Nico, good to know it actually exists! Women's watches don't get much respect in the collector world. I think that leads to important watches being scrapped far too often.
