This rare Eberhard Scafograf 300 from the 1960s stands out for its classic dive watch design, distinctive stainless steel case, and exceptionally well-preserved black dial with its even, natural patina.
The history of the Eberhard Scafograf began in 1959 with the introduction of a collection of wristwatches specifically developed for diving. The Scafograf 300 was designed to withstand water pressure at depths of up to 300 meters and was among the professional dive watches of its era.
The black dial features applied rectangular hour markers and broad hands filled with luminous material. The even patina that has developed over the decades gives the dial a warm vintage character and emphasizes its authentic originality. Another distinctive detail is the so-called roulette date display, with alternating red and black date numerals.
Particularly striking is the 42.5 mm stainless steel case with its curved, faceted lugs. The design is reminiscent of the famous Omega Seamaster 300 from the 1960s. Together with the black rotating bezel, this case design gives the Scafograf a sporty appearance and a strong presence on the wrist.
The screw-down caseback features Eberhard's characteristic seahorse motif. Inside beats the automatic Eberhard caliber 266-123.
A classic Swiss dive watch from the 1960s with a distinctive design, authentic patina, and an interesting history.
