Majex is a Swiss watch brand with a history dating back to the mid-20th century. Like many Swiss watchmakers, Majex produced a range of timepieces, often featuring reliable mechanical movements with features such as "17 Jewels" and "Incabloc" shock protection. These watches were typically designed for everyday wear and were popular for their durability and precision.
The construction of "rolled gold plating" over a stainless steel case was a common practice in the watch industry during the mid-20th century. This method involved bonding a layer of gold to a base metal, offering the aesthetic appeal of gold at a more accessible price point than solid gold. Stainless steel backs were often used for their durability and resistance to corrosion, especially in areas that came into contact with the skin.
