The Majetek is a cushion case-shaped pilot's watch that the Czechoslovak military commissioned the three major watch manufacturers of the time (Longines, Eterna, and Lemania) to manufacture between 1935 and 1945. In particular, Longines' first watch, commonly known as the "Big Turtle," is said to be a masterpiece of a highly decorative pilot's watch. The triangle pointer linked to the bezel can be moved arbitrarily to measure elapsed time. The highly decorative rotating coin bezel, cobra hands, and muscular large cushion may seem counterintuitive, but the unique Y-shaped lugs create a unique overall look. It's a great balance of things. In addition, the back cover of the original case is faithfully reproduced and the top and bottom of the case are fixed with screws. The crossed swords in the upper right corner of the case represent military property, and when the homeland was occupied by the German army, the pilot belonged to the Royal Air Force and fought to regain his homeland.This is a symbol of his bravery. It is said that the sword was engraved to honor him.

The Big Turtle 3 Hands dial is an homage to the Eterna dial. Compared to Longines, the numerals are smaller and center seconds, resulting in a simpler and cleaner design. The manufacturer's brand logo is printed on the 12 o'clock side of the dial, "ANTI-MAGNETIQUE" is printed below the center, and numbers are displayed every 10 seconds inside the minute track.
