1911 BTR Automatic Chronograph, 2006
Powered by Ebel Caliber 137
The mastery of technology and design
Twenty years after introducing their emblematic 1911 collection, the Architects of Time present the ultimate Ebel series for men, a highly contemporary, entirely mechanical and eminently masculine collection of timepieces: 1911 BTR.
All models are powered exclusively by Ebel proprietary COSC-certified mechanical movements, each one developed, assembled and controlled in Ebel's workshops in Switzerland.
The most striking characteristic of the newly refined BTR body is its sheer size and sturdiness: the larger hexagonal case, 44.5 mm in diameter and water-resistant to a pressure of 10 atm, features a 32 mm dial opening and a broader more expressive bezel secured by powerful screws. This blend of unmistakable virility and refinement is also epitomized in the distinctive wristbands that combine imposing stature with the supremely comfortable feel and fit of the rugged metal bracelet, or hand-stitched alligator strap.
All Ebel proprietary movements are distinguished by the unmistakable outlines of the new Architects of Time oscillating weight, a unique design detail that symbolizes the fusion of the architect's compass and the “E” of Ebel. With its highly original openwork structure, this vital component serves not only as a distinctive signature of Ebel watchmaking expertise, but also as a window that reveals even more of the beauty of the movement.
Ebel once again proves it has its finger firmly on the masculine pulse by reinventing this ultimate symbol of the sporting spirit. Eye-catching steel and rubber features, along with vivid yellow, red and black accents and top-stitching on hand-sewn alligator straps, combine to give the Automatic Chronograph line a new edge and “speed machine” attitude.
In appearance and performance, the 1911 BTR Automatic Chronograph is designed to attract men for whom a watch is both a style and lifestyle statement.
