This is the Pre-prototype of the "Chartmaster Model 1885" as seen on the Expeditionary outfit: Steampunk Hunter - Arsenal Best tropical gear

With the "Chartmaster Model 1885" you won't be ever lost again!
Through the thickest djungle, the farsest deserts or the highest mountains, the "Chartmaster Model 1885" will always get you home safe and sound.
It features a scrollable map of every part of the world with accurate information on country, cities and landscapes, a miniature compass and even the possibility to update the charts if new maps become available.

With it's sturdy brass hull, it sustains heavy weather and work in any temperature you might encounter on this globe. The scrollwheels are of comfortable size, even easy to be handled while wearing gloves.
The wrapper is made of the finest and toughest buffalo leather available.
And the best, it all fits onto your wrist. It's small size prevents it from being a heavy and bulky hinderance.

Instant navigation ready at your command.

This Pre-prototyp is an early version and will be developed further into a Mark 1 in the future, which will feature a positionable magnifying glass, a rearranged compass and a more refined hull.

Thank you very much. Happy you like it!
Though I'm still hoping to get around finishing it the way I intended it.

This is so epic! I could just sit here going through my DeviantWatch messages favorite-ing loads of your art: I love your work, but this is incredible and I had to comment. Epic coolness and not just because I'd love instant navigation ready at my command. Too cool!

Yes, you absolutely do!
Though I'm certainly not the sensitive type, getting devasted and feeling the urge to jump from a bridge, if noone likes my work, it still bestows a warm fuzzy feeling if someone does appreciate my work.

So thank you very much!
