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.
