Looking for a hi qualtiy sports chrono from a well known swiss watch company? Before the Ebel 1911 BTR hit the scene this territory was dominated by IWC with thier Aquatimer series or Jaeger LeCoultre with thier Master Compressor series. The landscape changed this year at BaselWorld 2007 when Ebel launched the 1911 BTR. Ebel started from scratch to build the 1911 BTR as a true sports watch complete with an in house movement, rubber pushers, rubber bezel and water resistant 100 meters. If you like a dial that helps start conversations with other watch collectors then you will enjoy staring at the details on this dial especially the guilloche work.
