==Enicar 'Garnix' Reference 072/003==
[[File:Enicar garnix.jpg|thumb]]
The Enicar reference 2303 — or Garnix, German for “nothing”, so named because of the lack of text on the dial besides the Enciar name and Saturn logo — was a chronograph released in the 1960s alongside the larger Sherpa Graph line. 

While some have referred to this as a “pre-Sherpa” chronograph, that’s not accurate: The Garnix has an Enicar logo, tritium lume (a “T” over the 6 o’clock sub dial even indicates the use of tritium), and other features emblematic of 1960s Enicar. It’s more likely the reference 2303 was simply aimed at a different audience than the Sherpa Graph. 

The Enicar Garnix case measures just 36mm in diameter and it doesn’t use the same Compressor technology as the [[Enicar Sherpa Graph|Sherpa Graph]] line. The Sherpa Graph also has longer, noticeable lugs than the Garnix, making the Garnix wear even smaller on wrist. Inside, the same Valjoux 72 engine powers both the Garnix and the Sherpa Graph. 

The Garnix is still waterproof, though lacked the “[[Enicar Sea Pearl 600|Seapearl]]” branding seen on the back of more robust Enicar sports watches. The Garnix is engraved 072/003 on the case back, so you’ll often see the model referred to using this number as well.
