The Scafograf has always been one of the pillars of Eberhard & Co.'s dive watch production. With the new Scafograf 200 MCMLIX 39 mm version, the Maison returns to the origins of the 1959 model, recovering its most authentic spirit and reinterpreting it in a contemporary key.
It is not merely a return to the past, but a precise declaration: rediscovering the value of an essential, compact diver designed for function.
The new model stems precisely from this philosophy, as highlighted in the official material, which emphasizes the direct link with the first Scafograf and the desire to maintain its technical and stylistic identity intact.

The return to perfect proportions
The choice of the 39 mm case is one of the most successful elements of the project. In a market dominated by large dive watches, this size represents a return to authentic wearability, without sacrificing wrist presence.
The lines are clean, solid, with alternating satin and polished surfaces that enhance the watch's technical character. The result is a perfect balance between vintage aesthetics and modern proportions.
A dial born for legibility
The dial is the most direct expression of the Scafograf soul. Every element arises from a functional need, not a stylistic exercise.
The triangular indexes, positioned at key points, and the hour hand with its characteristic three-sided tip are directly derived from the original 1959 model. These details, designed to ensure immediate legibility even underwater, have now become the collection's aesthetic signature.
The various color variations – black and blue, with matte or dégradé finishes – always maintain strong visual contrast, while vintage-style luminescence reinforces the link with tradition.
True diver performance
Despite its refined aesthetics, the Scafograf 200 MCMLIX remains a professional instrument in every sense.
Water resistant to 200 meters, it features a unidirectional rotating bezel with a ceramic insert and a screw-down crown to ensure maximum security. The presence of an automatic helium escape valve confirms a real technical vocation, designed for advanced diving.
The case back engraved with the starfish, a historical symbol of the collection, adds another element of identity.
Automatic movement: substance first and foremost
Inside, we find an automatic mechanical movement designed to offer reliability and precision over time.
It is not a movement designed to be displayed, but to function flawlessly. A choice consistent with the Scafograf's soul: an instrument even more than an aesthetic object.
The Milanese bracelet changes the character
The real novelty is the introduction of the Milanese mesh bracelet, a first for this model.
Lightweight, flexible, and surprisingly elegant, it transforms the Scafograf into a more versatile diver, capable of transitioning naturally from sporting to urban contexts. The 2CLICK® clasp system adds practicality and security for daily use.
More traditional versions with a steel bracelet or vintage leather strap are also available.
A Scafograf more current than ever
Scafograf 200 MCMLIX 39 mm demonstrates that you don't need to reinvent an icon to make it contemporary.
Simply respect its proportions, language, and function.
It is a watch designed for those seeking an authentic diver, with a true history behind it and a strong identity on the wrist.
