 The obverse features a rightward-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a crown. Around it are engraved "ELIZABETH II," "ST. HELENA + ASCENSION," the year of issue "1986," and the face value "25 POUNDS."

 The portrait is by Raphael MacRoof, a sculptor known for his coin designs for the Royal Mint.

 The reverse side features an intricately detailed bust of Napoleon Bonaparte and a sailing ship with its sails unfurled. The inscriptions "ST. HELENA," "NAPOLEON," and "5TH MAY 1821" are engraved around the edge, indicating the date of Napoleon's death on Saint Helena.

 Taking advantage of the large surface area, the watch meticulously depicts Napoleon's clothing, the sails and rigging of the sailing ship, the hull, and even the surface of the sea. The proof finish, which contrasts the mirrored areas with the matte relief, makes the historical scene stand out impressively.
