What watch is Jim Clark wearing?

[RichB]

Thus combining cars with watches I wonder if anyone can identify the watch Jim Clark is wearing in this shot? Not a quiz, I just like chronographs and this one looks stylish and, being in the '60s, is not too big!

p.s. If you click on the image a couple of times it should expand...

I'd go with one of these

Could it be a Gallet Multichron 12.

Car's a Lotus Cortina, which is a bit easier to identify bearing in mind this is pistonheads!

Jumper by Pringle no doubt.

I think you're right.

And... it could be an Enicar Sherpa Graph (Monte Carlo Edition)
Reason I say that is that if you look at the original image the face appears to be silver not black, the lugs step into the case unlike the TAG where they re smoothed in and also Enicar was a brand JC liked. Still not sure though.

Clark did own a Gallet Multichron 12H, but his was a well documented black face version, which he later gave to one of his mechanics, John Carlini.

Clark also owned Enicar and Breitling chrono's, the Breitling again was a black face by some accounts, the Enicar could have been silver/white, so this could be the Enicar in the photo??

You are indeed correct.

Thanks for entertaining me on a little bit of fun chaps. I might add one to my list!

No, I don't think it's Pringle

Good looking watch, though.

You've got me on that one. Did anyone else other than Pringle make jumpers in the 60's?

No and would a Scotsman wear anything else and at a first glance of the watch I thought it looked like one of yours

I only saw the last couple of years of the 60's - and that was from a pram. Could be some subconscious influence, but like Bond in the Alps with his DB5 photo, if there is it's entirely unthought of.
