MAPPIN'S FAMED
Luminous 'Campaign' Watch
This fine movement wristlet watch was first used in great numbers
at Omdurman, and desert experience is the severest test a watch can
have.
During the last Boer War it renewed its high reputation for
reliability under trying conditions.
It is compensated and jewelled, in silver case with stout inner
dome.
It is fitted with a luminous dial, which shows the time on the
blackest of nights.
