Birth year IWC.

Recently acquired new model Ebel Discovery diver. This is one of the few Ebels made in the last 30-40 years that I’ve seen without a proprietary screw attachment for the bracelet or strap*. Instead it has a quick-release for the bracelet and will take 20mm spring bars. So it’s a thrill to put an Ebel on other straps. In this case, a “Bond” regimental striped NATO.



* The Classic line released in 2011 has springbar strap attachments. Rick Denny and I had the Classic 100 LE below

Lovely!

I like the strap. What material is this? Crocodile? One side reminds me of the lizard strap on my dad’s watch but the other side clearly isn’t lizard.

Thanks. It is lizard—teju lizard, as I recall. Thought both the color and pattern were a good match for the original dial’s patina.

It is a great match. Here’s my dad’s watch on lizard.

The scale pattern at 12 o’clock confused me as the scales looked too big for lizard

I was once a small-time influencer for those - before there were influencers -





Great fun from Casio’s wacky heyday. Looking back, I see that I once called it an amorphous sci-fi blob - in a good way, of course.

Sometimes the crystal is more interesting than the dial...

I think it’s just the camera and light playing tricks.

Looks like a departure lounge to me.
