Solche Expeditions-Taschenuhren wurden von der Royal Geographical Society leihweise an Expeditionsteilnehmer überreicht, nach Abschluss der Expedition mussten diese zurückgegeben werden. In seltenen Fällen schenkte die Royal Geographical Society die Uhr einem Teilnehmer als Zeichen der besonderen Anerkennung und liess sie, wie bei diesem Exemplar, entsprechend gravieren.
