Their Worldtimer ' Voyager'

A pretty slim 38 mm worldtimer that was made in different executions. Different dials, different maps on the dial, different case materials, etc.
To be honest, 38 mm is a bit too small for my taste. But hey ... an exception is always acceptable. And definitely when I came across one with an enamel dial. The email champlevé was a very limited series they made early 1990's.

In total 480 were made. 6 series and each series was made in 80 pieces. The difference between the 6 series were case material (yellow or white) and different maps. Each watch had a number on the dial. ( individual number between 01 and 80 )

1 thing ... the were ridiculously expensive back then. I found German info and they had a list price around 32.000 Deutsche Mark, which is converted to Euro about 16.000 euro. Believe me, 33 years ago you could have bought some really impressive watches for 16.000 euro. A Gold JLC Reverso on a leather strap was more like 5.500 euro and something like a Rolex Submariner was about 2.200 euro. So who the hell would have paid 16.000 euro for a gold Ebel worldtimer with enamel dial.

That aside, today these regular wordltimer are cheap as hell. The enamel version not that cheap but if you can find one .. still worth considering

Seems like Ebel is the next instagram and watch forum hype watch. Hadn't seen an Ebel discussed in years and now they're popping up pretty regularly. Cool dial tho!

Could it be because they are completely overlooked and right now offer tremendous value for a ridiculous price 😉

Running after the royal oaks, nautilussen, sport Rolexes is imo the worst one can do.
Looking for unbelievable bargains on the other hand …..
that’s imo the difference between a collector who recognises real value versus the 90% watch snobs out there.
