1. Legendary History
In 1959, Eberhard & Co. launched the Scafograf collection. With its automatic mechanism, shock-resistant steel case, expandable bracelet, and high-contrast luminescent dial, it quickly became the benchmark for dive watches in the 1960s. The original Scafograf 100 and 200 models, respectively, were water-resistant to 100 and 200 meters. The Scafograf 300, later evolved to a submersible to 300 meters, demonstrating the ultimate performance of a professional diver’s watch.
2. Return to the Original: A Modern Interpretation
In 2016, the brand reinterpreted the Scafograf 300, blending classic design with modern technology. The collection has received numerous international awards and has also expanded into versions with functions such as a GMT. In 2020, the “MCMLIX” special commemorative edition pays tribute to the original year (1959 in Roman numerals) and features the iconic “300” water-resistance rating engraved on the watch.
3. Three-Color Photo Appreciation
The newly released Scafograf 300 MCMLIX series comes in three colorways: black (metal bracelet), green (leather strap), and blue (rubber strap). Each model features a 43mm x 12.6mm stainless steel case with alternating satin and polished lines, creating a dynamic and elegant look.
- The ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel, with 120 precise increments and a 15-minute scale with luminescent coating, creates a rich, retro feel.
- The crown is engraved with the brand’s “E” logo and features a protective structure for enhanced robustness and water-resistance.
- A helium escape valve at 9 o’clock ensures safety for deep diving.
- The domed sapphire crystal with anti-glare treatment protects the dial. – The hands are reminiscent of the 1959 original: a triangular-tipped hour hand, a baton-shaped minute hand, and a lollipop-shaped second hand.
- The dial features luminous hour markers (circular and triangular) in a vintage color scheme for enhanced readability.
- A rectangular date window is located at 3 o’clock.
