Ultradive
$7,000
Munich microbrand reviving the legendary Enicar Sherpa diver of the 1960s (worn by Alain Delon): 40mm compressor bayonet case, 200m ISO 6425-certified WR, and a bespoke Mantramatic MM01 — a Sellita SW200-1 modified in-house with a decorated rotor, laser-engraved Tibetan prayer-wheel components, and chronometer-grade regulation. Limited to 150 pieces per batch.
About Sherpa Watches
Founded by mechanical engineer Martin Klocke and based in Munich, Sherpa Watches set out to resurrect the genuine compressor dive watch, a design pioneered by Ervin Piquerez SA (EPSA) and made famous by Enicar's Sherpa line. Rather than merely imitating the vintage aesthetic, the brand re-engineered the actual EPSA-STOP bayonet case and a proprietary MONOFLEX compressor crown that seals tighter as water pressure rises, achieving 200m ISO 6425 certification. Each piece is hand-assembled in Germany and Switzerland around the Mantramatic MM01 movement (a Top-grade Sellita SW200-1), and the watches carry a whimsical 'spiritual complication' of Tibetan Buddhist prayer wheels said to turn millions of mantras a year.
