Ebel cal 134 (El Primero) now 21 years old
Swapped the bracelet for a sharkskin and now share here. Day to day I have very little call for wearing any of my chronos and this Ebel has lacked my wrist attention for a long while. I love its understated dial and it has been with me on some great adventures in an earlier life. El Primero cal 40.0 inside, this Ebel tells a story (for Zenith), (and as they say at Rolex!). Shame that Ebel no longer produces these quality watches having developed its own manufactured movements.
The weekend fast approaches!

31 years old, not 21!
My sincere apologies for misinformation - I got the manufacture date wrong. New in 1988, not 1998. A true veteran. HAGWE Clive
