Eberhard & Co’s stunning Scafograf 300 has won the prestigious Sports Watch Prize at the recently concluded Grand Prix D’Horlogerie de Geneve 2016. Watch lovers in the Middle East now have an opportunity to own this timepiece. The Scafograf 300 along with other winners of the Grand Prix D’Horlogerie prizes will be on view at Dubai International Financial Center, as part of the Second Dubai Watch Week from November 15 to 19. This sleek diver’s watch with its legendary heritage will also be available across Eberhard & Co. points of sale across the region.
The Scafograf is one of Eberhard and Co.’s iconic models. First launched in the 1950s this watch has truly evolved through time. It has grown into a true sports watch, with its water resistance increasing from 100 meters in the earliest models to up to 1000 meters with the Scafograf Super in 1983.
The latest avatar in the Scafograf line, the Scafograf 300 is a true inheritor of the timepiece’s winning DNA. The hands are big, legible and of the Baton-type. The Scafograf 300 is available in 3 accent colors: lemon yellow, azure blue and white. This is also reflected in the font-color for the model name which is also carried on to the name font. The hands, hour markers and them date window are enclosed by thick mirror polished borders and the whole dial setup is very legible and easy to read.
The watch has a deep black ceramic bezel that rotates effortlessly and has some quirky highlights. For example, the triangular arrow at 12 is filled with a small pyramid instead of the more common circle-shape.
The watch is sealed by a screwed case back. An engraved Starfish in the middle forms the center and adds a recognizable touch to the case back. The case has a helium escape valve at 9 o’clock and is covered by an anti-reflecting sapphire glass. Compared to the ancestor, the new Scafograf has grown from 42.5 to 43mm in diameter.
The integrated black rubber strap completes the look of a classy diver’s watch as it makes for a comfortable fit. It is emblazoned with an Eberhard-shield in the center close by the watch case. It comes with a standard personalized buckle, but can be ordered with an optional deployment clasp, which is a bit more optimal for dive purposes.
