Ebel’s Sport Classic has always lived in the space between tailored polish and everyday ease.
For its 115th anniversary, the La Chaux-de-Fonds brand returns to that idea with a numbered 40mm chronograph that leans into steel, yellow gold and the collection’s unmistakable bracelet architecture.
The result is a watch that feels deliberately classic, but not static.
At a glance
- Ebel has introduced the Sport Classic Chronograph 40mm 115th Anniversary as a numbered limited series of 115 pieces.
- The watch pairs a steel case with an 18-karat 3N yellow gold bezel, an opaline chronograph dial and an integrated wavy-link bracelet.
- It celebrates the brand’s founding sport-elegance philosophy established by Alice Lévy and Eugène Blum.
A founding idea recast in steel and gold
Ebel was founded in 1911 by Alice Lévy and Eugène Blum, whose approach gave the maison a clear point of view from the beginning.
Rather than treating refinement and utility as opposing forces, the brand made a habit of bringing them together.
The Sport Classic Chronograph 40mm 115th Anniversary follows that line closely, with a polished, dress-aware execution built around the practical grammar of a chronograph.
Its 40mm steel case measures 11.60mm thick and is topped by an 18-karat 3N yellow gold bezel, with matching gold screws reinforcing the two-tone character.
An opaline dial with formal chronograph balance
The opaline dial is arranged with a traditional sense of order rather than visual aggression.
Roman numerals define the hour chapter, while a detailed minute track and tachymeter scale bring the sportier chronograph language into the composition.
The layout includes 30-minute and 12-hour counters, along with small seconds, giving the dial a familiar tri-compax rhythm.
A date window sits between 4 and 5 o’clock, a placement that keeps the primary markers and registers largely undisturbed.
Polished hands with 3N yellow gold plating add warmth against the pale dial, tying the display back to the bezel and case screws.
The bracelet carries the Sport Classic signature
The integrated metal bracelet is central to the watch’s identity.
Its wavy-link design has long been one of Ebel’s most recognisable elements, and here it receives a solar-toned trim that echoes the case’s yellow gold accents.
That bracelet is more than decoration.
It’s the part of the watch that most clearly expresses Ebel’s belief that a sporty watch can still have a dressed, almost jewellery-like refinement.
Through the sapphire-crystal caseback, the selfwinding Dubois Depraz DD2222 calibre is visible, adding a mechanical counterpoint to the polished exterior.

It takes the elements that make Ebel distinctive, especially the fluid bracelet and the sport-elegant mix of steel and gold, and gives them a neatly proportioned chronograph format for collectors who prefer detail over volume.
