Ebel introduced a number of specials in their Tekton Longines Master Collection Retrograde Mens watches L2.715.4.78.3 series, for FC Bayern-Munich, Arsenal, Ajax, Real Madrid, Olympique Lyonnais and Rangers. Using caliber 245, the user of this watch uses the 45 minute totalizer at 12 o’clock position to measure the time of a certain half and uses the hour totalizer at 6 o’clock to count the number of ‘game halfs’. Each of these club specials are only being made in limited editions (starting with 150 pieces for Ajax and 500 pieces for Real Madrid) and are there to point out the connection between Ebel and football, which they have been sponsoring since the early 1980s. Ebel launched a dedicated football section on their website which is worth checking out for fans of either of the mentioned clubs. Pictured below is the Ajax special of 150 pieces. The Tekton watches have a 9900 Euro price tag.Fan of the most popular game in the world or not, Ebel is an interesting brand and with the BTR and Tekton they should be considered a serious player in the world of watches and especially of chronographs. It is about time that Ebel will get its own forum on the big watch portals on the internet and being recognized amongst collectors and aficionados of fine time pieces.Visit the Ebel website for more Longines Master Collection Retrograde Mens watches L2.715.4.78.3 information and visit their Facebook page to see what they are doing right now.
When the first 30 minutes of an hour elapsed, the totalizer at 12 o’clock will indicate so.The tachymeter scale is also more visible on this model. One could say that this caliber 139 version is more bold than the regular BTR 1911 caliber 137 chronograph. List price of this particular model, with alligator strap, is 5990 Euro. All BTR movements are COSC certified, which means they have been regulated and tested to be as accurate as -4 / +6 seconds per day.Besides the 1911 BTR, Ebel also has a model called the Tekton. Although not part of the BTR line-up, I thought I at least mention these models. In the light of the current 2010 football World Championships in South-Africa, I’ll focus on their Longines Master Collection Retrograde Mens watches L2.715.4.78.3 football line-up.
