Lip Himalaya Sandglass automatic white dial leather strap 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 polished/brushed steel case 40 mm in diameter dresses your wrist with distinction. The silver-white dial features applied silver Arabic and baton numerals, as well as luminous blue hour and minute hands with a red-tipped second hand that subtly harmonize with the leather strap ensuring you a comfortable fit in all circumstances.

This Lip Himalaya watch retains an authentic vintage allure that won't leave you indifferent. Bold and elegant, the Lip Himalaya Sablier seduces with its singularity and reliability that will delight you for a long time to come!
