The brand quickly established a reputation for producing high-quality watches that were both stylish and reliable. In the 1930s, Ebel introduced its first sports watch, the "Sport Classic," which was a popular choice for athletes and adventurers alike.
In the 1970s, Ebel made history by introducing the world's thinnest quartz watch, the "Ebel Sport Quartz." This innovative timepiece set a new standard for accuracy and precision, and cemented Ebel's reputation as a leader in the world of watchmaking.
