The Ebel Gents White Dial is a unique dial that ensures greater visibility and captures time as well as the movements of the hands while they speed across the dial, marking out time for the day.
The antique watches of the yesteryear did not even have a proper dial piece as only the hour hand was used then with the dial piece totally unprotected. Since then, watches have evolved, so today, we have the Ebel Gents with its 26.5mm diameter and the time displayed as black roman numerals on a white background, which makes this watch all the more interesting.
The dials of the watch generally have a variety of shapes from the circular to that of the octagon. The shape of the dial is often changed more as a marketing ploy than for any other inherent purpose. Today, the watch movements come in shapes such as rectangular, rectangular with cut corners, oval, baguette and more, the point being that the shape of the dial or that of the movement no longer defines the watch. Modern technology has made it possible for the movements to be miniaturized to such an extent, that the dial pieces are no longer constrained by the movements of the watch thus giving way to various dial shapes that one can see today. Looking at dials, the Ebel Gents White Dial has a unique advantage over some of the other dial pieces as it offers a three position date window, thus making this dial a much more welcome option for many a businessman.
