Hello, This is my first post and I wanted to introduce myself; I've always been a vintage watch amateur, and really enjoy watches from the Sixties and Seventies that focus on Space, Diving, and Explorations.

Vintage tool watches but also cool watches that embody all the recent human achievements moon quest, Everest, diving explorations of the period. A few years ago I purchased an Enicar watch. I realized that it was founded by Mr. Racine spelled backwards and saw in the watch all the symbols of the Sixties adventures: the oyster in the shell, the Saturn logo, the names Sherpa, and ultradive, etc I love this watch, and was wondering if my dating circa is correct and what MK dial?

What movement does it have? View attachment SteveHarris Administrator Staff member. Welcome to the forums I have the same one. The example below uses information from the American Waltham Watch Company, but that is just an example. You should consult the serial number table for the specific brand of watch movement you are trying to date by selecting a company from the menu on the left.

Not all vintage watches can be dated using the serial number. Some American watch brands did not use a consistent series of serial numbers, but most of the big manufacturers did. Most vintage Swiss pocket watches did NOT have serial numbers and can't be dated by this method. Many watch companies made hundreds of thousands of watches, and some companies made millions of watches!

So to determine when your watch was manufactured, you will need to find where your serial number fits within the range of numbers. Not sure where the SN is here but I'm assuming it's inside the case back? Possibly, No you would find it on the outside of the caseback but it seems the SN is polished away at your example.

The watchmakers marks might help. Ends in 66, so could have been serviced in dating your watch to early 60's? Equally it could be nonsensical reference to us that only made sense to the watch repairer. SteveHarris said:. Last edited: Aug 15, Thought as much. I've struggled to make any sense out of the marks on my casebacks! Yeah, my watchmaker thinks it may have been the watchmaker registration number of whoever serviced the watch back in the day.

I assumed that the watch, based on the aesthetics, is early 70s. We found that the watch had been been regulated to run fast seconds perday to account for the minutes hand slipping on the cam or whatever.

So it's being serviced now.
