Description

This LIP Himalaya Jour Date Bi-Compax, with its steel bracelet, sets the tempo and looks chic with any outfit. This version is powered by a Japanese quartz caliber.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’s, 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 “Greats” of mountaineering for its astonishing resistance to the elements and shocks..Today, Maison Lip invites you to discover this sporty version of the Himalaya! This men’s watch is powered by a Seiko VH64 “Sweep Second” quartz movement that will allow you to take the measure of time with precision. The seconds hand glides over the dial like an automatic watch.The polished steel case expresses itself at 40 mm in diameter on your wrist, while the 5-mesh steel bracelet with folding clasp provides a comfortable hold in all circumstances. The blue dial is embellished with white Arabic numerals and hands, as well as a railway track to offer you optimal time reading, day or night. What’s more, the dial offers a “Bi-Compax” display, with a date counter at 3 o’clock and a day counter at 6 o’clock.Definitely, the sporty, vintage-assumed allure of this Lip Himalaya watch will appeal to men in search of a reliable, distinguished timepiece!
