It took me some time to get one in my collection, but finally landed a Lemania Majetek as part of an exchange deal!😀

Case reference number 261. Caliber 3050 (early sweep seconds version of the 3xxx family of movements).
Majetek models was made in the late 1930s and early 1940s based on specifications from the Czech military.
Lemania, Longines and Eterna all made their variants. A very modern design for it's time!

The marking on the back: "Majetek Vojenske spravy" translates into "Property of the Military Administration".
Each watch have a separate military serial number.
With a 38mm cushion case (wo crown) it wears very well even on a "Nordic wrist".

Thanks to @Mitka for excellent servicing and support!

I bought a couple of Midos I might post later, but I wanted to share this technical dial immediately.

A clean T-serial Datejust with box and paper.
Beautiful. I wish Rolex on their dressier watches nowadays did not put lume. This older dial style is elegant.

Bought this online with very rough and blurred pictures, crystal was pretty scratched.

So i took a gamble, hit the jack pot.

I polished the plexi glass.

Can you post the ‘blurred and rough' photos?
