Not only can the Manchester United fans, you, the Madridistas can also indulge your passion of having the Official Football Club Wrist Watch. The Swiss Watchmaker, EBEL has collaborated with the most successful football club in the world, REAL MADRID to present the 1911 TEKTON REAL MADRID WATCH, to be unveiled for the first time in October 2009. The unique luxury watch will be available in limited 500 pieces only for the biggest fans of the soccer club.

Real Madrid president Ramón Calderón said,
“We are very pleased about our new partnership with Ebel which further enhances the status of our great club. We are very excited with the agreement with Ebel as a new partner in the luxury field, which further supports the Real Madrid effort to work with the best possible alliances in each category.”

EBEL is a famous brand among football fans. Prior to this Real Madrid Watch, EBEL has also produced the limited edition luxury watches for the fans of England’s Arsenal and German champions FC Bayern Munich. Likewise, Ebel has also become the Official Timekeeping Partner to AFC Ajax of the Netherlands, Glasgow Rangers of Scotland and French champions Olympique Lyonnais.

For this Official Luxury Real Madrid Watch, EBEL has created some details epitomizing the football club’s identity. Let’s examine the Real Madrid’s crest. Apparently they have the traditional colors of white, blue, and gold; and it is applied to the chronograph function, blue dial flange and gold seconds. Furthermore, the blue dial flange is three dimensionally dug deep resembling the bowl of a stadium; while the rivets passing through the crystal will recall the huge entrance towers at each corner of Real Madrid home stadium, Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
The other signature feature is the football-shaped oscillating weight which features the club log and the limited edition number.

As a football sports watch, the EBEL 1911 TEKTON REAL MADRID WATCH incorporates a propriety movement - Ebel Caliber 245 automatic chronograph. It is specifically elaborated to measure soccer match half-time and indicate injury time. Number ‘245” in the name implies 2 x 24 minutes. The precision of the movement is crowned by the prestigious COSC- chronometer certification.

It is equipped with anti-reflective treatment on both sides and measures 48.50 mm in diameter. The case back is constructed from flat sapphire crystals while the hexagonal screwed crown is from polished titanium featuring a black rubber head.

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.

Founded in 1902, Real Madrid Club de Fútbol is the most successful team in Spanish football and was voted by FIFA as the most successful club of the 20th century, having won a record 31 La Liga titles, 17 Spanish Cups, a record 9 European Champions Cups and 2 UEFA Cups. REAL MADRID is also the world’s richest football club ((€366m) in terms of revenue. Their home since 1947 is Santiago Bernabéu football stadium in downtown Madrid which has capacity of 80,354 persons. Unlike most European football clubs, Real Madrid’s members (socios) have owned and operated the club since its inception.
