Longines Pilot Majetek
The Internet has been abuzz about the new Longines Pilot Majetek, the latest in the brand?s long line of aviation-inspired watches, and we have to join this party too, having just seen the watch in the metal. The short story here is that the little arrow you see there beneath the sapphire crystal turns along with the bezel, yet the watch remains faithfully water-resistant to 100m. This does not sound like much, written so prosaically like this, but it is quite a pleasure to see the arrow turn in person. The other immediate thing to note about the Majetek is the meaning of the name, which requires a quick detour into history.
The original Majetek was made in 1935 and its full name was Majetek Vojenske Spravy, although that was not a model name or anything like that. It simply means property of the military administration, which it was because Longines made it for the Czechoslovakian Air Force; the Majetek bit means property, although the nickname probably stuck because it sounds cool. Unfortunately, we only have so much space to get into this so we will have to return to this subject another time. On to the current Majetek watch!
