Eberhard & Co. continues its long-standing association with the maritime world by introducing the Scafograf 200 Limited Edition “Onde Bleue” at the 64th Genoa International Boat Show, where the Swiss Maison serves as the Official Timekeeper. This limited edition diver’s watch, restricted to just 137 pieces, marks a new chapter in the iconic Scafograf collection, a range that first debuted in 1959.
A Legacy of Maritime Timekeeping
Eberhard & Co. has been synonymous with precision timepieces for over 137 years. The Scafograf collection, first introduced in 1959, remains a cornerstone of the brand’s maritime tradition. The new Scafograf 200 “Onde Bleue” pays homage to this legacy, capturing the essence of the sea and symbolizing the passage of time through its wave-inspired design.
Scafograf 200 “Onde Bleue” Design and Features
The Scafograf 200 “Onde Bleue” boasts a 43mm stainless steel case, recalling the design of its 1959 predecessor. The deep blue dial features a light blue wave pattern that represents the constant flow of the sea. Staying true to its heritage, the watch omits the date display for a minimalist, streamlined look.
The unidirectional blue ceramic bezel includes vintage luminescence on the first quarter of the minute scale, enhancing visibility during dives. Additionally, the watch is equipped with a domed sapphire crystal featuring an anti-reflective coating to ensure optimal clarity under various lighting conditions.
The screwed caseback, engraved with the iconic starfish that has been a hallmark of the Scafograf collection, further connects the timepiece to Eberhard & Co.’s maritime roots.
Engineered for the Deep
As a diver’s watch, the Scafograf 200 “Onde Bleue” is built for underwater exploration. The watch is water-resistant up to 200 meters and features a helium escape valve at 9 o’clock, essential for professional diving. The screw-down crown adds another layer of security, protecting the movement from moisture.
At the heart of the timepiece is a mechanical, self-winding movement with a Glucydur balance and an Anachron balance spring. These components ensure reliable performance in challenging conditions, making the watch a trusted companion for any underwater adventure.
Strap Options for Versatility
Wearers can choose between two strap options: a light blue integrated rubber strap for a more casual, active look, or a Chassis® stainless steel bracelet equipped with a 2CLICK® double-button clasp for a more refined aesthetic. Both straps are designed for comfort and durability, complementing the sporty nature of the Scafograf 200 “Onde Bleue.”

The Scafograf 200 “Onde Bleue” is available as a limited edition of just 137 pieces. Each timepiece is a nod to Eberhard & Co.’s 137-year history, blending timeless design with modern functionality.
