Mine is more like grey & white sub-dials and made in 1962.
I was fortunate to buy this great looking watch from the original owner Mike. A Vietnam veteran who bought it in 1964 on the Island of Okinawa at the age of 20 before he was deployed into the Vietnam war where he was captured by the North Vietnamese but was able to escape. This watch has some serious war history.

: the high end of enicar is very thin/rare air indeed. . i do agree
: these watches are comparable and in many cases superior to 60s
: chronos of any manufacturer at multiples of the price (today)
: and the racing heritage is second to none. however, my
: experience is there are a few crazy fanatics and most collectors
: skip over these
: i have seen pristine mk II and mk IIIs go for 8-10k easy. . same
: for mk IV. . there was a great black dial mk III with red
: lollipop hand that went for 15k all in i believe a year or so
: ago at auction. i bought the best all black mk II i've ever seen
: for 11k collector to collector within the past year. that said,
: there are lots of good not great aqua graphs and jet graphs and
: around that don't seem to sell and sherpas in mediocre condition
: seem to sit
: as for the MK1s that GVM is talking about. . .there are so few that
: honestly pricing is anyone's guess. i've never gone there. .
: .and of course the actual watches that Jim Clark gave his f1
: team . . that's like trying to price a Speedmaster that went to
: the moon in my book

: say the sherpa graphs hold up to any of these watches
: but its a crazy few us enicar enthusiasts!
