The eb field watch

A great field watch should do nothing more than tell the time, with perfect clarity whilst being entirely fit for purpose.

Originally designed for soldiers in WWII to replace the cumbersome pocket watch. They were small, clear, tough, and incredibly dependable.

In 1942, a stretch of coastline on Poole Harbour was chosen for a top-secret wartime operation.

Arne, now a peaceful nature reserve, was transformed into 'Decoy Heath' designed to look like a military target. Fires were lit, tar barrels ignited, so from the air it looked like a munitions factory under attack.
