# Revived Vintage Sports Watches Sherpa Debuts Two New Enicar-Style Watches, the Ultradive and OPS By Niko Pajkovic | Published 2022-04-19 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sherpa References: [acquiremag](https://www.acquiremag.com/style/sherpa-watches) & [sherpawatches](https://sherpawatches.com/preorder/) Sherpa is a new watch brand that is dedicated to reviving ['60s and '70s-era sports watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timex-1995-intrepid-reissue). Interestingly, the company derives its name from the now-defunct watchmaker Enicar, who produced a popular series of timepieces called the Sherpa line. Now, Sherpa has announced the launch of two new timepieces with names lifted directly from Enicar's catalog: the Ultradive and the OPS. Both of the revived models feature 40 mm cases equipped with a [rotating inner diver's bezel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unimatic-prodiver-modello-uno), redesigned MONO FLEX compressor crowns, a sapphire box crystal, and EPSA-STOP bayonet compressor case back. In addition, these [vintage-inspired timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panerai-luminor-marina) are being offered in two styles -- steel or DLC black-coated steel -- and come equipped with Sherpa's in-house movement, the Mantramatic MM01 automatic.
