Both won, but so unsatisfactorily that their joint aim seemed as distant us before the evening started.

Yolande Pompey took seven laborious rounds to beat the Detroit Negro Moses Ward who, after all, was little more than a Middleweight and Ron Burton floundered The his way to an eight rounds' victory over the Croydon vetera Albert Finch.. resulta were its expected for the favourites, but there was little grace in the manner of them.

That's the kind of service the British Government wanted. They wanted a watch that could stand the steaming heat of tropical jungles... the freezing cold of arctic storms... the gritty dust of desert winds. A watch that would stand up under the roughest and go on jolts... take to water like a duck running day and night with faultless accuracy.

·They wanted a super watch! Omega made it.

Impartial scientific tests prove that the Omega was and is all the British Government demanded. That is why the British Government has selected Omega as Official Suppliers to the British Navy, Army and Air Force..
