Ebel, the Architects of Time, first introduced their 1911 collection – named after the year of their conception – twenty years ago. The successor to these emblematic watches is the 1911 BTR, a highly contemporary, entirely mechanical, and eminently masculine collection of timepieces.
With their bold looks and their technical sophistication, the new 1911 BTR models are set to impress the contemporary man, especially since they are powered exclusively by Ebel proprietary COSC-certified mechanical movements, all of which are made in Ebel's own workshops in Switzerland. The movements are the historical automatic chronograph Caliber 137, the new automatic GMT Caliber 240, and the latest automatic perpetual calendar chronograph Caliber 288. Put these into the iconic 1911 BTR cases and you have the ideal showcase for the brand's expertise.
