The Classic Sport collection is a new range of men's and women's watch models from Ebel. The collection features some attractive designs and a diverse range of offerings that hold true to Ebel's DNA. Most important of which is the "monohull" case design. Meaning that the watch case is totally one piece. The back of it is a beautifully soft curved su***ce that will not pinch of irritate the skin. Everything is put in the case via the top, where a screwed down bezel and sapphire crystal hold the timepiece together. Style is similar to the Classic Hexagon watches, and builds on the brand character. Note the steel bracelets that are a mixture of the iconic Ebel Wave bracelet and a more common three think bracelet. The collection has a 40mm wide version for men, and two versions for women at 27mm and 32mm wide. The women's versions have Swiss ETA quartz movements, while the men's version is further available with an ETA 2824 automatic movement. The cases have a nice mixture of polished and brushed su***ces. Crystal is sapphire and the cases are water resistant to 50 meters.

This includes various dials (including mother-of-pearl), as well as a number of diamond decoration options. While the Classic Sport collection is meant to be a *** and attractive entry level model for the brand, the price can easily go up in the women's models that feature a lot of stones on the dial and bezel. Plus, there is even a diamond decorated men's model for those who demand it. Legibility is quite good on the uncluttered dials, though the dial design isn't the epitome of exciting. You can see actual images of the pieces that I checked out in the gallery below. Ebel has had a narrow line-up as of late so the Classic Sport collection helps broaden their offerings. Priced well, the watches will also help newcomers enter the brand - which really does have visually pleasing and comfortable to live with timepieces.
