Ebel Classic Sport Chrono Coral

A couple of months ago we reported about the new range of watches in the Classic Sport collection, by Ebel. The first to be launched was a military-styled chronograph mounted on a khaki strap. This line of watches is now further extended and includes Ebel Classic Sport Chrono Coral, perfect for warm sunny days. The company markets this piece as the festive, gentle and warm version of the Classic Sport in a striking ‘must-have shade’ for 2011.

The nice shade of orange is used for a sporty silicone bracelet, while design and the architecture of the dial remain the same as for the premier edition. The dial is painted in milky white color and graced with thin vertical lines, in the center. The sub-counter positioned at 3 o’clock is a small seconds indicator, while the big counter at 9 o’clock indicates the minutes. Smaller one positioned at 6 o’clock is an hour-counter. Seconds hand is here painted in vibrant coral, to match the strap.



The piece is made in stainless steel and measures 41 millimeters in diameter. Inside of the case beats Swiss-made quartz Ebel 503 movement, which allows for a date indication at 4 o’clock. The case of a watch is topped with Ebel’s signature round bezel fastened with six polished screws. All of the details on the dial are coated with Superluminova, to ensure perfect readability in all conditions.

And again, the Ebel Classic Sport Chrono Coral offers only 50 meters of water resistance, which is rather disappointing for a sports chrono.
