These shots were taken while I was passing by the Ebel booth on my way to another appointment, at Baselworld 2009. Unfortunately I did have enough time for an appointment. But, I am really liking their mulit-layer dials and affordable price points. And I will definitely try to setup an appointment with Ebel next year.

This is one of the two special edition watches created to celebrate Ebel's partnerships with two major world soccer organizations: FC Arsenal and FC Bayern Munich. The version shown above is the Bayern Munich edition, of which there are only 250 available worldwide.

Both special editions have Ebel Caliber 245 automatic chronograph movements with 45-minute period displays, with an overtime feature. The movement's oscillating weight is football shaped and each watch comes personalized with the corresponding club logo and edition number. There is even a counter for number of periods. Oh and this is not your standard Ebel case, they maxed this one out to 48.5 mm. The case and folding buckle both have a black treatment and the strap is a black technofiber.

The Ebel 1911 Tekton Limited Edition Bayern Munich retails for $12,900.

This is the new Ebel 1911 BTR. The movement is an ETA chronograph and it is a certified COSC chronometer. The caseback is stainless steel. The strap is black leather with red contrast stitching.
