Horological Meandering: Another "neglected" icon: the Ebel Chrono Sport ref. 9134901 with the Zenith El-Primero 400 (aka. Ebel 134) movement inside.
This is the very rare steel-whitegold version. From ca. 1983. Cheers, HSTE

Horological Meandering: Wearing the "Aqua Lung" from "U.S. Divers Co." this week.
The watch, reference 1573-666 is from 1967 and it is equiped with a A. Schild/Felsa 4004 automatic movement. Mind the odd "lying 30" on the bezel ..... Cheers, HSTE

It is on a ref. 11 IWC stainless steel bracelet. All in mint conditon. Unpolished, unmolested, just like a time-capsule. Cheers, HSTE
