The BTR experiment did not succeed for them, sad to say.
But their chronograph movement lives on. They sold the movement, tooling, and half a dozen specialty technicians to Ulysse Nardin in 2012, and it lives on as the UN150 family.
And the Breguet 582 family is very closely related.
Ebel’s current chronograph is much downmarket from the BTR line, and is powered using an ETA 2894. It’s a nice looking watch, but it’s not a grand complications chronograph.
I bought this watch as new from the Movado Group, and it comes with a full warranty. But it is best described as old stock.
