ebel classic wave e-type chronograph

I got to check out this handsome new timepiece from Ebel a few months back and now they are formally introducing it to the world. Given the return to basics and classicism this year in the luxury watch industry, Ebel has taken the best of the their past and present and created a timeless look for the Classic Hexagon 41mm Large Date watch. The big date complication really makes the piece – that and Ebel’s signature monohull case that is made out of one piece of swoopy steel. It is 41mm wide – that makes it medium sized, and relatively thin at 10mm thick. The entire movement and dial is placed through the dial of the watch. The rear of the watch is curved and quite comfy. Ebel has always done a good job with playing with polish. The case is mostly satin finished with the bezel and screws done with a mirror finish. The hands and applied hour markers are polished as well for a handsome, legible look.With a tight integration of the textured leather strap, the watch fits very securely on the wrist. The dial is available in black or galvanic silver. Inside the watch is a Swiss ETA 2896 automatic movement. This isn’t the only classic styled big date watch this year, but is a good contender for your buying dollars.

Most rebels start off without a cause, and sometimes become a cause by themselves. Think about it, right from James Dean, Billy Idol to the Star Wars Rebel Alliance, rebellions made them the figure they are today. And you can now join the movement thanks to the MB&F. After creating the HM3 owl and the HM3 frog, this time the haute chronograph brand had brought the HM3 ReBel a black watch for your right hand. Nestled inside a black PVD-treated white gold case with sapphire crystal the limited edition of 18 watches comes in two variants, the Starcruiser and the Sidewinder.
