Mansfield Eastern Arabic Edition:
The Mansfield Eastern Arabic Edition pays homage to Charlotte Mansfield, a daring British explorer, novelist, and poet known for her remarkable journey through Africa in the early 1900s. This exclusive timepiece combines the distinct tea-green color of the original Mansfield with a touch of uniqueness, featuring Eastern Arabic numerals.

Tea Green Elegance:
Limited to just 50 units, the Mansfield Eastern Arabic Edition retains the original charm of the Mansfield. The tea-green metallic dial, adorned with Eastern Arabic numerals, exudes a sense of sophistication. The vertical-grained texture and raised ring housing numerals and baton markers provide a visually striking aesthetic. The sunken sub-dial at six o’clock and polished dauphine-style handset complete the watch’s design, creating a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation.

Fine Craftsmanship:
Both limited editions share a common foundation with the new cushion case architecture, offering a comfortable fit with flowing lines that hug the dial. The three-piece construction, polished finish, and bevelled bezel, topped with anti-reflective sapphire glass, provide a visually compelling experience from every angle.

The integration of straps into the bat ear lug design, thanks to a clever scalloped inner case, adds a touch of innovation to the classic design. The modified no-date SELLITA SW216-1 Elaboré Grade movement, featuring blued screws and a bespoke Farer arrow pattern, powers both watches, ensuring reliability and a 45-hour power reserve when fully wound.
