The 1950s and 1960s brought about amazing advances in science and technology, and. scientists of this era striated to work with computers, nuclear energy, and space exploration, generating new concerns about their watches.
Launched in the early 1960s, the Scientigraf was a real competitor to the Rolex Milgauss, the IWC Ingenieur, and the Omega Railmaster, because of its anti-magnetic properties. But it is actually much rarer.
Its antimagnetic resistance was stated by Eberhard as 900-1000 gauss (as engraved on the caseback). The Scientigraf gets this anti-magnetic quality from its case construction. It uses a soft iron structure inside the case called a Faraday cage. It is so simple and effective that the same technology is still used today to protect watches from magnetic fields.
The automatic movement is the Caliber 11500 which uses 17 jewels.
The most noticeable feature of the Scientigraf is its distinctive dial, with larger triangles pointing outwards at 12-3-6-9 and smaller triangles pointing inwards at the remaining hours.
The handset on the Scientigraf is also distinctive. The large hour hand is a cross between a broad arrow in shape and cathedral in structure, and the seconds hand is a lollipop.
The purpose of this document is to determine whether the constituent parts of the watch are conform to the model reference /period or not, and to value their condition and importance.
All the watches are provided with a digital certificate (the Watchfid-ID), that will be uploaded on your protected and anonymous digital wallet.
