What's on Offer
Majetek Vojenske Spravy translates to “property of the military administration” and it is engraved on the case-back, with a unique number, usually 3 or 4 digits - in this case 4723. This watch was never sold to the general public, there are no markings on the dial, and it is widely known in horology circles as the Lemania Majetek. It is powered by the 3050 caliber, a well made sweep second hand-wound movement with indirect drive.
This exmaple is in wonderful vintage condition and enjoys a very simple rich black time-only dial with bold Arabic numerals and slim syring hands - all of which ratian their original lume which has aged evenly across the dial to a nice buttery hue. The dial is encapsulated underneath shatterproof Plexiglas and encased in a faceted stainless steel case - which is actually 38mm, rather sizeable by the standards of the production period. We have paired the watch with a stylish tan bund strap and as you see illustrated in the photographs, it looks fantastic on the wrist. This is rare piece with a nice military pedigree, it is sure to pique the interest of collectors.
