It’s the start of my golden ENICAR week!
Freshly back from a service and on the ultra rare Enicar mesh strap 
Yesterdays watch in my golden Enicar week!
And todays gold for WaterproofWednesday!
Not an Enicar (looks like it could be), but one of my favorites in my collection: A rarely-seen variant of the Wittnauer 242t Pro Chronos from the late 1960s (with a V72 ticking away inside).
It was supposedly tested by NASA along with the eventual moon watch Speedmaster, but this claim is still in question.

Photo was taken yesterday, but I am wearing it today as well:
Notice the bright blue tips on the central seconds and minutes hands just at the point where the hands curve toward the dial. The bright blue is just the effect of the angle of incidence of the lighting.
That's one of the nice aspects of a watch with well-made blued hands. The bluing is very dynamic in appearance under changing light conditions.
Here's another shot:
The watch does not look washed out to the naked eye. I suppose that is the best this photographer can do wit his iPhone.
The dial is actually a very pale champagne color; the luminous is pretty much as you see it, a mint green tritium from the very early 1970s.
This watch must have spent most of it's life in a safe or a sock drawer.
The edges on the lugs are the sharpest I have seen and the even the edges on the case back are sharp enough to shave the strap at the mid-point of the spring bar.
