In the late 1950s and early 1960s, in the fury of the economic boom, Swiss watchmaking made enormous strides in the field of technical horlogerie. Eberhard & Co. was one of the main players in this golden age, asserting its prime position through its skill in developing timepieces that would leave their mark for years to come.

Eberhard & Co. created the first SCAFOGRAF in 1959, with the aim of meeting the growing demand for diving watches.  This model SCAFOGRAF became one of the La Chaux-de-Fonds Maison’s greatest successes, firmly establishing itself amongst the most coveted of timepieces for diving enthusiasts.

Launched in 1959 to meet increasing demand for reliable diving watches, the SCAFOGRAF collection has been one of the biggest success stories of the La Chaux-de-Fonds workshop. The technical characteristics of the watches made them one of the most coveted instruments for diving enthusiasts.

After the launch of the first two models (water resistant down to 100 and 200 metres respectively), the SCAFOGRAF 300 version and its evolutions followed, managing to create a timepiece able to withstand a depth of 1000 metres.

In 2016, driven forward by its desire for constant research and innovation, Eberhard & co. designed a re-issue of the SCAFOGRAF 300, a modern re-elaboration which, that very year, went on to win the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, the most coveted prize in fine watchmaking.

And so today … the SCAFOGRAF 300 "MCMLIX" edition, a diving watch, with the name itself, through the transcription in Roman numerals, evoking the year of its original launch, and boasting a galbe dial in blue, Eberhard & Co.’s signature colour, with matt finish and indexes and hands featuring a ‘vintage’ luminescence. The self-winding mechanical movement is housed within a 43 mm diameter steel case, with convex sapphire crystal and automatic helium escape valve at 9 o’clock.

The unidirectional rotating ceramic bezel, also in blue, has ‘vintage’ luminescence on the first quarter of the minute scale.

The screw back is decorated with a starfish, the emblem of the collection. The water-repellent leather strap enhances the casual-chic look of the watch and features blue stitching, similarly evoking the rich blue tone of the dial.
