Tekton Caliber 137

Caracteristics

Description

A daring combination of materials and a dynamic multi-level dial make the 1911 TEKTON 137 Titanium not only the latest but one of the sportiest interpretations of the most cutting-edge men’s watch in the entire EBEL collection.

Following the Discovery and the BTR, the TEKTON is the youngest member of the 1911 family, named after the brand’s founding date, and its newest incarnation will help the TEKTON range stay forever young. A titanium case, crown and push-button guards, allied to black rubber bezel, push-button heads and strap give the 1911 TEKTON 137 Titanium an unmistakably super-smart casual appearance.

Openings through the dial reveal a brightly coloured date ring that indicates past, present and future while light plays off the finely engraved sub-dials with the disks set one level below. Three-dimensional hour-markers add to the overriding architectural impression of depth, width and height.

The incredibly light weight of the 137 Titanium belies the size of its 48.5mm case, a case featuring the 1911 TEKTON multi-layered construction held together by six oriented drill-through screws visible on either side.

The Caliber 137, launched in 1995 after five years of research, is EBEL’s first 100 per cent automatic chronograph movement. By integrating 322 parts in parallel, EBEL’s watchmakers achieved a surprisingly trim movement capable of driving multiple functions.
