Eberhard - Scientigraf Chronograph

Eberhard presented the new Scientigraf Chronograph ref. 31077. Price to be announced.

Following the launch of the 2021 re-edition of the historical Scientigraf, Eberhard is now presenting the Scientigraf Chronograph.

The original Scientigraf was introduced in 1961 to provide an answer to the problem of magnetisation of mechanical watch movements. 

This model featured a Faraday cage, which was named after the esteemed scientist who invented it in the early 1800s.

Adopted also by the new Scientigraf Chronograph, the Faraday cage is constructed with soft iron and serves as a protective barrier for the watch movements. By utilizing a material with high magnetic absorption properties, the cage effectively blocks magnetic waves from penetrating and harming the delicate mechanisms.

The cage is hosted within the 41 mm x 13.55 mm polished and satin-brushed stainless steel case featuring mushroom-shaped pushers to control the chronograph function. The screw‐down case back is decorated with the original drawing of the 1961 model. The screwed crown embossed with the "E" of the brand contributes to ensure water resistance to 50 metres / 165 feet.

Protected by a domed sapphire crystal with anti‐reflective treatment on the inner surface, the black dégradé dial sports a bi-compax layout with the two counters - running seconds at 3 o'clock and chronograph 30-minute at 9 o'clock - enriched by azuré finishing. 

The typical triangular indexes and hands - central seconds hand excluded - are filled  with vintage-looking ivory luminescence. The 12 and 6 Arabic numerals are white.

The automatic chronograph movement (base ETA 7750) beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of 42 hours when the chronograph is not running.

The new Eberhard Scientigraf Chronograph ref. 31077 comes with a steel bracelet featuring a 2Click closure, or with a strap in natural leather. The lug width is 20.00 mm. The price has not yet been announced. eberhard-co-watches.ch
