Lip Himalaya Sandglass automatic blue dial steel bracelet 40 mm

A French history

The Himalaya model was born of a discussion between Fred Lip, a mountain enthusiast, and his friend Lionel Terray, a high-mountain guide. Maurice Herzog, a friend of Fred Lip, also made a major contribution to the watch's success. Maurice Herzog was the first mountaineer to climb Annapurna. The watch's identity takes its name from the mountain range that is home to the world's highest peaks: HIMALAYA. Advertisements in 1959 declared that it had been chosen by nine out of ten of the mountaineering "Greats" for its astonishing resistance to the elements and shocks.

The model

Visible through the transparent caseback and its skeletonized dial, the Miyota 8N24 automatic movement gives you the measure of time passing with precision, while the 40mm-diameter polished/brushed steel case dresses your wrist with distinction. The blue dial features silvered Arabic and baton numerals, as well as luminous silvered hour and minute hands with a silvered second hand with a red tip, which subtly harmonize with the steel bracelet guaranteeing you a comfortable fit in all circumstances.

This Lip Himalaya watch retains an authentic vintage allure that won't leave you indifferent. Bold and sporty, the Lip Himalaya Sablier seduces with its singularity and reliability that will lastingly delight you!
