Hi Andrea, and welcome to the forum.
I hadn’t previously heard of Ebel watches, or the Sportwave, so thanks for introducing it to me.

Here is my discovery diver from late 1990's it is powered by the famous cal 8810 lemania one of the thinnest automatic movements ever made and also used in former Breguet, Patek and Vacheron models. Ebel was established in 1911 and made some very fine watches back in the day. Unfortunately they are now part of the Movado Group

I only own vintage, but this Ebel, which I have had for many years, is the most elegant single crown compressor that I have ever come across.

I think Don Johnson wore one of the predecessors, which was called 'Le Modulor', and as you say had the famous El Primero movement. These watches above are the successors which featured a (Lemania 1340 based) Calibre 137 Ebel Movement. This movement was also used (and I believe still is) in Ulysse Nardin watches. Rumor has it that if you send such Ebel models for revision, it goes to Ulysse Nardin workshops.
