ebel watch design

Ebel is famous for their football inspired timepieces but it has been a while since they last created a new timepiece. Today, many football and watch enthusiasts will surely celebrate as Ebel has finally created a new timepiece called as Ebel 1911 Tekton Real Madrid Watch.This new Ebel 1911 Tekton Real Madrid Watch is created through a collaboration with one of the most popular football teams which is Real Madrid. This watch is made with a case that includes a shape that can be compared to a football. The case of this watch is made of a very strong but lightweight material called as titanium. This material ensures the durability of this watch which is very important to most watch enthusiasts.This titanium case is matched with a black alligator leather strap which gives this watch a sporty and elegant appeal. The dial of this watch is mainly highlighted in black and is accented with highlights of blue on the flange carrying the 60 minute scale. This black dial is also accented with titanium hour markers and hands. This watch also includes a retrograde 45 minute counter found between 9 and 3 o'clock and on the sub dial at 6 o'clock. It also includes a date indicator found on the window at 4 o'clock.This new Ebel 1911 Tekton Real Madrid watch will be available this coming October 2009.

This watch was designed in collaboration with award-winning designer Eric Giroud. ?Giroud is the creative mind behind watches including the Harry Winston Opus 9, MCT Sequential One, and MB&F’s HM-1, to name a few (by the way,?recommended reading: ?a fantastic and just published interview of Eric Giroud the Watch Lounge’s Tom Mulraney). ?As with Rebellion’s other timepieces (you can see the Rebellion REB-5 Tourbillon Full Diamond here), the Predator draws inspiration?from racing cars. ?The honeycomb dial is also a unique design element. ?The watch case is available several combinations (red gold, red gold/ceramic, steel, steel/ceramic and red gold/steel)?with a?bezel attached by 8 distinctive screws with heads in the brand’s logo (very cool – kinda like Hublot does with it’s case screws).
