The Scafograf has always been one of the pillars of diving watchmaking by Eberhard & Co. With the new Scafograf 200 MCMLIX 39 mm version, the Maison returns to the origins of the 1959 model, recapturing 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 from this very philosophy, as also highlighted in the official material, which emphasizes the direct link with the first Scafograf and the desire to keep its technical and stylistic identity intact.
The return to perfect proportions
The choice of a 39 mm case is one of the most successful elements of the project. In a market dominated by large divers, 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 designed for legibility
The dial is the most direct expression of the Scafograf's 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 are designed to ensure immediate legibility even underwater, and have now become an aesthetic signature of the collection.
The different color variants – black and blue, with matte or dégradé finishes – always maintain a strong visual contrast, while the vintage-style luminescence reinforces the link with tradition.
Performance of a true diver
Despite its refined aesthetics, the Scafograf 200 MCMLIX remains a professional instrument in every respect.
Water-resistant to 200 meters, it features a unidirectional rotating bezel with a ceramic insert and a screw-down crown to ensure maximum safety. 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 a further identifying element.
Automatic movement: substance first
Inside, we find an automatic mechanical movement designed to offer reliability and precision over time.
It is not a movement meant to be showcased, but to function impeccably. A choice consistent with the soul of the Scafograf: an instrument first and foremost, rather than an aesthetic object.
The Milanese bracelet changes the character
The true novelty is the introduction of the Milanese mesh bracelet, a first for this model.
Light, 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 everyday 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 is proof that you don't need to reinvent an icon to make it contemporary.
You just need to 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.
