Welcome to the WRT forum.

Hello and welcome from Leeds, England.  Somebody may of worked on one, if not we need to see the movement.

Before asking for help it is normal to post an introduction and tell us a little about yourself.

There is no real value to that watch. People that collect Ebel might show an interest. I would say its from the 1950's.

Welcome to the forum. 

Be careful with that one. Seems to have some luminous compound on dial and hands. A watch of that era may contain radium.

Hi welcome to the forum.  Like Richard said we need pictures of the movement. The name on the dial is not nesscesarily the maker. Under the balance or on the plates there may be other marks which help. Pictures of the watch front and back less dial and hands make the job easier.

You seem to have posted 8 pictures the same, each one tells no more than the previous except what trousers you are wearing . Ebel was one of the brands used by the British MOD during WW2 ( ATP ) this looks military ? so it should have something decent inside.But we wont know that unless we can see it, this brand doesn't come up too often so will be interesting to see. The movement will give a date range to it's age, value is usually estimated,  its only worth what one/some  want to pay for it. Crack it open .

The 99 cal was in the Ebel ATP and a black face dial model was made though the one you have isn't recognised. The case is not of the usual military style which would look heavier,nor the hands but these may have been changed at some time in its life and there are always exceptions to expected designs. The caseback may shed more light with markings and militaries are generally of a screwback with good water resistance of the time.

The linked 1940 military version is without an anti-shock setting. Your shock proof model is likely from the 50th.
