Horological Meandering

MKs and batches...

 

Hi Blomman
I have been collecting and documenting Eberhards for some years. There are some catalogues but the thing is the 1965 catalogues were in B&W!...regarding Contografs there are different versions, be it MK1 or MK2. As Eberhard was a small brand they produced their watches in small batches and I guess they ordered the different pieces per batch sometimes from different vendors, this is why you can have variations in dial executions, hands and bezels!...you don't necessarily have the same consistency than with brands like JLC! likewise for Scafografs, the no crown guard 200 can be found either in a big or small crown and I have original Ads featuring both!...I have even seen an incorrect catalogue with a Scafograf featuring a Contograf bezel!...

The case looks like a Hugunenin Frères you find in the Omega Seamaster / Railmaster / Speedmaster first generatio, or the Jaeger Lecoultre Deep Sea Alarm. The nice detail ,the date which is red and black depending on the day, like the Rolex GMT MASTER 654...  

To me it looks like the ongoing tachymeter scale.

I am a bit hesitant to the red bezel marker. Only saw white before. Best Blomman

Thank you for the input, Matt!

And frankly I prefer it that way, as it chimes with the red scale element and the date. Tutto originale, never polished and original worn off bezel. Best' Z'
