I have a c1958 Enicar that looks like that. Bought it because it reminded me of my Dads watch of a similar era. Manual wind up watch, like when I was a kid before the quartz watch.

I also have a 1972 Tissot Seastar automatic. Classic looking watch.
Tissot & Omega were the same company at this point before the Quartz war and the formation of the Swatch group. This watch shares a movement with an Omega, just cheapened a bit I expect.

Enicar had some good brand ambassadors (was that a term in the early 60s?).

Off the top of my head, Stirling Moss, Jim Clark and Ken Rosewall.

Looks lime my cousin's Omega from mid 70s. His dad was a engineer for International Harvester and for a time traveled to Europe a good bit to troubleshoot issues, mostly Germany. He brought back watches for his two sons and daughter around times for them to graduate HS and gave for graduation presents.
 
My daughter sent me a link to a video and asked me to guess the lead singer(I couldn't). It's a cover from 1969. Unfortunately, no 'Bird content. :(

What I like here is the bizarre posture of the singer's hands, and his unconventional disposition. It's weird, not quite creepy. Well, a little creepy in a cartoon, "Nightmare Before Christmas" kind of way. That's the kind of unusual I want to see from a rock band performance.
These are not the people you see at work or on the street from 8 to 5... That's good.
