The Eberhard & Co. Replica Chronograph (Ref. 31008) is a vintage-inspired timepiece released in the 1980s, specifically created to celebrate the brand's 100th anniversary in 1987. It is highly regarded by collectors for its "Officer-style" aesthetics and use of traditional materials like silver and porcelain.  This model is part of the "Replica" collection, which refers to Eberhard & Co. reproducing its own historic designs from the 1920s and 30s rather than being a counterfeit. Experts at EveryWatch highlight its 1980s origin as a significant era for the brand's re-launch of mechanical watchmaking.

  • Vermeil Finish: Many versions feature an 18kt gold laminate (20 microns), known as vermeil.
