ebel keeps that a secret they have a marking on there batteries mine 690 but there is no such after market replacement with this number. ( ebel wants to be the only game in town/ world ) but if you want to replace it your self, witch will void your warrenty 'says' ebel. take the battery out and take it to a jewelry store, and they can match it up ( $5.00 to $6.00 ) or pay $240.00 to ebel to "service" it. clean / new gaskel / batt witch ebel says is necessary to change batt. every 3 years or so. do not take the watch to the jewelery store only the battery , because know one will open it. they will want to send it out to ebel for service big $ also save old batt, because if you ever have to have the watch fixed put the old batt back in and hopefuly they wont notice. to get the battery out read my instructions i have posted its easy. other posts i have read on replacing batt, they don't know what they are talking about. do NOT remove anything but the bezel only. please Read hope this helps you out.

mcdevito75 here, Chances are the qiuckest way is to visit a local jewlery shop in your area, they may have quicker accesss to Ebel so you can get Ebel replacement links, this way your Ebel watch remains 100% Ebel.

mcdevito75 here, Best Bet, Look for a small watch repair shop in your area, for this crown, being an Ebel watch you should contact Ebel. The watch repair shop can help.

Hi, I have two links for an Ebel Sportswave watch. They were taken out of the bracelet of my 6-year-old Ebel and are like the ones shown in your photograph. Let me know if you are still interested and if you are, make me an offer.
Thanks.

Sorry for your loss.
If your watch was registered, then it can be traced by reporting the loss to Ebel. You can do it on the internet: www.ebel.com
You will have to submit all the details of your watch.
In case, if your watch will turn up at any of authorized Ebel dealer workshops, it will be reported as stolen or found and you will be contacted.
But that can never happen, too.
If someone was lucky to find an Ebel watch, I doubt he/she will try to find the owner, unless he/she is just a perfect human being.
Ebel watches are of very good quality, quite prestigious and a good value as well, so, I think the finder will keep your watch himself.
Anyway- do not give up and report the lost watch. The only downside is- you have to tell your husband, as he is the only person who knows where and when watch was purchased as well as the rest of the details.
Wish you luck.
Do not forget to rate, please.

Unfortunately it is not possible to do it yourself as special tools and skills are needed.
You can bring your watch to the nearest watch repairer or find the nearest EBEL dealer here:

Note: sometimes it is not possible to repair or renew stretched links and replacement of band is necessary.

get them to have it checked in their repair shop and tell them its not the battery

I take mine back to the jewelry store where I bought it. They send it away to an ebel service center where they replace the battery, clean it, etc. I have had mine replace several times in the 20 years I've had the watch. I was told that it must be done by an authorized Ebel place.

The really nice thing about your watch is that when you need a battery, the watch gives you a 30 day notice by having the second hand do what I call " a triple step" where the watch keeps time, but youe second hand goes 3-4 steps real fast and then stops. Please take your watch to a reputable watch repairman, because your watch has a Cartier movement , and NOBODY but Cartier has the parts for your watch if somebody who dosn.t know what they are doing messes it up. If you have anymore problems feel free to ask me anytime . I LOVE EBELS!!!!
