2006 Ebel 1911 Heritage Perpetual Calendar Chronograph Ref. 9288L70 (with Box & Papers)

Grande Complications - In the world of fine watchmaking the Perpetual Calendar is often considered as one of the most sought after complications. The perpetual calendar displays and automatically adjusts the day, date and month, but also accounts for leap years. As longs as it is kept moving, it won’t require any manual adjustment for years, decades, even centuries. This complication if often combined with a Chronograph boosting the level of complexity and enhancing the aesthetics. Given the nature of time and efforts required to manufacture these complications they are usually offered in precious metals making them even more expensive on the market. What we have here is an exotic in the world of complicated watches, not because of the complication but because of the metal it is made in, stainless steel. The Ebel Heritage 1911 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph has an Automatic movement which is housed in a 45mm stainless steel case. The silver dial is beautiful and shows guilloche finishing on the 6 o'clock subdial which also bears the Moon Phase. The stainless steel bracelet gives the watch a very sporty look. The watch comes with box and papers and represents an insane value for money and not to forget here that the interest for complicated and rare watches from Ebel is rising.
