Général de Gaulle 35 Watch 671889

The Watch

The Général de Gaulle 35 watch by Lip pays tribute to French elegance and watchmaking tradition. Made for those who appreciate fine timepieces, it features a case measuring 35 mm in diameter and crafted from 316L stainless steel. Known for its durability and hypoallergenic properties, the steel is given polished and satin finishes for a subtle, sophisticated sheen. Its weight of 104 grams gives it a noticeable presence on the wrist without sacrificing comfort. The classic round shape is complemented by a bezel also made of stainless steel, bringing the design together. The screw-down case back provides the tight seal essential to its water resistance. Every detail reflects the craftsmanship Lip has cultivated since 1867, rooted in Besançon, a cradle of French watchmaking.

The Dial

The dial of the Lip Général de Gaulle 35 watch pairs legibility with thoughtful design. Its silver tone and sunray finish catch the light from different angles, creating a sense of movement and depth. Black and gold-tone baton hour markers stand out against the light dial, making the time easy to read. The hands, also black, complete the contrast and clearly display the hours, minutes, and seconds. A date window at 3 o’clock blends subtly into the design. The flat mineral crystal helps protect the dial against impacts and scratches while maintaining a clean look. A black railroad minute track frames it all, underscoring the attention to detail in this timepiece.

The Movement

At the heart of the timepiece is a Swiss quartz movement built for reliability and exceptional precision. Powered by the Ronda 715 caliber, the watch displays the hours, minutes, seconds, and date with an accuracy of -10 to +20 seconds per month. A type 371 battery powers the movement and provides a long service life before replacement is needed.

The Bracelet

The watch features a bracelet made of 316L stainless steel. Its gold tone complements the case for a cohesive, elegant look. The bracelet’s polished and satin finish adds texture that highlights the watch’s refined design. With an 18 mm lug width, it fits the watch securely while remaining comfortable for everyday wear. The deployant clasp provides added security and makes the watch easy to put on and take off.
