LIP Watch - Himalaya 33 mm Hourglass - Skeleton Automatic - White Dial
An iconic model from LIP, the Himalaya collection was born out of a collaboration between Fred Lip (a mountain enthusiast) and Lionel Terray (a high-mountain guide). Produced beginning in 1954, this watch remained one of the Lip brand’s flagship models until 1973. That is why Maurice Herzog, a friend of Fred Lip, set out wearing this watch to climb Annapurna, the world’s most challenging peak to reach. The Himalaya collection pays homage to this extraordinary feat. The collection’s success is also due to its use as a prize at major cycling events, such as the Tour de France.

Description
In this hourglass-shaped version with its 33mm-diameter case, this Himalaya model is designed specifically for women’s wrists. Elegant, sturdy, and unique, this watch is an exceptional timepiece. It features an open-heart stainless steel case that reveals the watch’s movement. At the 3 o’clock position on the case, you’ll find a crown that allows you to easily set the time. Thanks to its Miyota automatic movement, this watch is timeless and will be with you for a lifetime. Its sapphire crystal protects against scratches, and you can also admire the movement of your watch through its open heart design and transparent case back.
The round, white dial complements your style perfectly. Its open heart, which reveals the watch’s inner workings, will let you shine in social settings while adding a touch of elegance and grace. Around the edge of the dial, you’ll find a railway-style minute track for greater precision. Featuring the so-called “Dauphine” style, the hour and minute hands of this watch are coated with a luminescent material, allowing you to tell the time in any situation. The minimalist seconds hand, with its red tip, contrasts with the rest of the watch, adding a touch of modernity. The hour markers are made of stainless steel and shaped like triangles, except for the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock positions, which feature Arabic numerals. Of particular note are the brand’s signature and the collection name at 9 o’clock, as well as the movement at 3 o’clock.
This watch is equipped with a Miyota 8N24 automatic movement of Japanese origin. This highly reliable automatic movement powers the mechanism through the three time-indicating hands and the movement of your wrist. It has a power reserve of 42 hours and a beat rate of 21,600 vibrations per hour.
With a rather classic style, this timepiece features an orange calfskin strap. Of particular note are the orange topstitches along the edges of the strap, which help reinforce its structure. The lug-to-lug width is 16 mm, and the strap fastens with a silver-tone steel pin buckle, allowing you to easily adjust the length to fit your wrist.
This model is water-resistant up to 5 ATM. This means you can wear your watch in the shower, although we do not recommend doing so to ensure its reliability. For swimmers or divers, we recommend choosing a model that is water-resistant to 10 ATM or more.
