EBERHARD & CO. – Scafograf 300


EBERHARD & CO. Scafograf 300 Automatic NEW

For the presentation of one of its latest creations, 
Eberhard & Co. takes a walk down its memory lane…

It was the 1950s when Eberhard & Co. decided to take on a challenge that has, from time immemorial, always fascinated men – the sea and its mysterious depths.



While Hemingway was writing one of his greatest works, “The old man and the sea”, which dealt with subjects such as courage and man’s tenacity in the face of the ocean, Eberhard & Co. presented its Scafograf collection, designed to be worn by the adventurous and sporty with a dynamic spirit and love of life.
Enriched over the years, the collection was made up of steel models which were water-resistant to 100, 200, 300, 400, 750 or 1000 metres, with or without a rotating bezel and luminescent hour markers.

The Scafograf 300 incorporated all the main features required of a dive watch: automatic with a sturdy, shock-resistant steel case (Ø 42.5 mm), water-resistance to 300m, a graduated black bezel to control elapsed dive time, a high-contrast dial with luminescent hands and markers and a stainless steel expandable bracelet. The date at 3 o'clock - unusual for a dive watch - and the look of this model made it agreeably suitable for every day wear.

Eberhard & Co. now presents a new edition of this model, reinterpreted in a contemporary way.
The new Scafograf 300 is a mechanical, self-winding diving watch, with a Ø 43 mm steel case, an unidirectional rotating bezel in ceramic, with luminescent markings on the first 15 minutes scale, curved sapphire glass and a helium escape valve at 9 o’clock.

The “galbé” black dial has luminescent applied indices and the date at 3 o'clock. The name of the model, the central seconds hand and the dots can be white, light blue or yellow. The hours and minutes hands are also luminescent.

The clean and precise lines of the  Scafograf 300 are also well suited to a more casual-chic use out of the water.

Extreme performance, through the innovative use of Breitlight®, a world-first achievement on a watch case. 3.3 times lighter than titanium and 5.8 times lighter than steel, but significantly harder, this exclusive high-tech material boasts a number of qualities: exceptional resistance to scratches, traction and corrosion, anti-magnetic, thermal stability, anti-allergic properties – as well as a touch that is warmer than metal and a slightly mottled effect accentuating the originality of the design.
