Lip Himalaya Day-Date quartz green dial leather strap 40 mm

A French history

In 1950, against a backdrop of international competition to conquer the highest peaks, Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal, equipped with their robust LIP Himalaya watches, climbed Annapurna, ushering in a new era in the history of mountaineering. Designed to withstand extreme conditions, the LIP Himalaya, with its water-resistant case and precise movement, was an indispensable tool for these pioneers. Its luminescent dial enabled climbers to tell the time even in the darkness of Himalayan nights. Five years later, Lionel Terray and Jean Couzy, confirming the reliability of this timepiece, reached the summit of Makalu. These two feats, made possible by rigorous preparation and adapted equipment, of which the LIP Himalaya was an integral part, propelled the brand to the rank of reference in the world of mountaineering.

The model

This sporty-chic Lip Himalaya watch has a 40mm case in polished and brushed 316L stainless steel, mounted on a smooth camel cowhide leather strap with white stitching and a pin buckle. Its luminous deep-green dial features Arabic numeral hour markers and white hands. This model with screw-down caseback is water-resistant to 50 m and features a date display at 3 o'clock, showing the day in French and the date. A timeless watch that's definitely sport chic, and sure to be the envy of many.

Finally, LIP has decided to power this Lip men's watch with a Miyota GM02 analog quartz movement, which will let you take the measure of time with precision.
