You could be correct---
---- the "Modulor' cal.137 movement is certainly used in the 1911 chronograph line and is based as you said on the Lemania movement.As regards the BTR line,it's likely too.I was also looking for the El Primero version.
Mine shown here is based on the Cal 137 movement
A blast from the past - Ebel 1911 Btr
or how I detected a “new” brand for me: After collecting wristwatches for more than 13 years I thought I have seen and - fast - owned everything. In this Summer I went for a watch what I bought without seeing it in the flesh and while I was in the shop I ...
Fantastic find Adam! Yes your pictures omit the Cal. 134 based on....
a Zenith movement some of us may have heard of. 😀 That's a looker if you ask me. Hard to believe it sat in the case unloved for so long. Congrats!

May I offer a clarification?
In fact, Ebel's cal. 137 movement is the result of a team project of Ebel and Ulysse Nardin to develop a chronograph movement for one, and a perpetual calendar movement for the other. The Lémania 1340 design was acquired by these two companies, and Nouvel...
love mine too... I agree with your review
I especially appreciate the larger seconds register at 9:00, separating it visually from the chrono registers. Don't see that too often on current chronographs. Some days, feel like a hefty watch with great movement and classic look, this fits just right....
Dear Rock,
yes, that’s why - for other reasons as well - I love this watch: the subdial of the little second is different from the other subdial’s size. VC has made the same solution at the second generation Overseas Chronos, I am not sure which came first, the chic...
