FEATURES
The SCAFOGRAF 200 DLC Edition Limitée is a self-winding mechanical watch with a 43mm-diameter
DLC-coated steel case, equipped with a valve for the automatic release of helium, a unidirectional
external bezel with ceramic insert and sexagesimal scale. The crown is screw-down, the sapphire crystal
domed features anti-reflective coating and the screw caseback is customised with the engraving of a
starfish. The hands, as well as the indices on the dial, are highly luminescent for improved visibility at
night and while diving.
Available version:
– DLC-coated steel case with vintage leather or rubber strap or DLC-coated steel bracelet and Déclic®
(Patented) deployment clasp.
Water resistance is guaranteed to 200m.
HELIUM VALVE (AUTOMATIC)
The helium safety valve is a distinctive component of professional
diving watches. It is useful when the watch is used for long and
deep underwater work, such as diving bells, an environment
requiring to breathe a mixture of helium and oxygen. As helium’s
atomic structure is so small that it may infiltrate the case, if no
valve is letting out the gas accumulated at high pressure inside the watch, during the ascent the glass
could be expelled with violence.

USE OF THE CROWN
IMPORTANT
To close the crown, press it lightly against the case and turn it clockwise until it is fully screwed.
Before diving, the crown must be in the closed position (position ). Only then can water resistance be
guaranteed.
POSITION A - Screwed crown, water resistance guaranteed.
POSITION B - WINDING – To unscrew the crown, turn it counter clockwise. When
the crown is unscrewed, by turning it clockwise the power from the
manual winding is transferred to the movement. If you haven’t worn
your SCAFOGRAF 200 DLC Edition Limitée for some time, the automatic
movement must be manually winded. This will provide you with an
immediate power reserve and maximum operating accuracy.
POSITION C - Neutral position of the movement.
POSITION D -Pull out the crown until the second click. In this position, hours and
minutes can be adjusted.

USE AND READING OF THE ROTATING BEZEL
To adjust the bezel, rotate it counter clockwise, matching the zero index ( ) with the minute hand ( ). In
this way, from that moment, you can constantly view the time spent during the dive or any other situation.
For greater visibility, the zero index ( ) and the minutes markers of the first 15 minutes featured on the
ceramic bezel are luminescent.
MAINTENANCE OF THE RUBBER STRAP
We recommend periodically cleaning the strap with soap and water, avoiding the use of aggressive
detergents.
CARE OF WATER-RESISTANT WATCHES
It is recommended to check the crown position before each dive. After use in sea water, rinse the watch
with fresh water. Do not use the crown when the watch is wet. The water-resistance and the need to
replace the gaskets should be checked at a qualified technical service centre every year and, in any case,
before any intensive use.
