Not finish with the elite football clubs like England’s Arsenal FC, Real Madrid, AFC Ajax Amsterdam, Glasgow Rangers and Olympique Lyonnais, the Swiss Watchmaker - EBEL continues making new exclusive timepieces for the football fans. This time, the “Architects of Time” comes with CLASSIC HEXAGON CHRONOGRAPH for four-time European Champions – FC BAYERN MUNICH. Apparently, this is the second edition of OFFICIAL FC BAYERN MÜNCHEN WATCH as in 2008 Ebel and “FC HOLLYWOOD” has released the first edition in limited edition of 250 pieces only.
Rather than a 1911 Tekton’s stainless bezel with six oriented drill-through screws as featured in the prior edition, the 2009 EBEL “FC BAYERN MUNICH” WATCH takes the original shape of Classic Hexagon. It includes stainless steel case – measuring 48 mm in diameter - with alternating brushed and polished finishing, 11 hand-applied hour-markers and facetted diamond-polished hands. Not to mention, a large double aperture at 12 o’clock for the date function.

The push-buttons establish polished finishing while anti-reflective sapphire crystal shields the dial from the scratch.

As the OFFICIAL TIMING PARTNER OF FC BAYERN MUNICH, the Ebel Classic Hexagon Watch offers precision timekeeping by a Swiss automatic chronograph movement - Dubois-Depraz 4500.

About EBEL
EBEL, known throughout the watch industry as “The Architects of Time” (in French: “Les Architectes du Temps”), can also lay claim to being the architects of sports sponsorship as far as watch brands are concerned. In the 1980s and 1990s Ebel sponsored tennis stars like Stefan Edberg, Boris Becker, Andre Agassi and Gabriela Sabatini and was also the official timing partner of the Monte-Carlo, Rome, Hamburg, Paris-Bercy, Davis Cup and Swiss Indoor tournaments.
The company was founded in 15 July 1911 in La-Chaux-de-Fonds – one of the major centers of Swiss watch-making, by Eugene Blum and Alice Levy. That’s where the name “EBEL” came from: an acronym of the initials “Eugene Blum Et Levy”.

The football club had its period of greater success in the middle of the 1970s, when the famous team led by Franz Beckenbauer won the European Cup three times in a row (1974–76).
