LIP Rallye Méca-Quartz Chronograph wall clock "Grand Prix de France Historique" Limited Edition 670065

The Watch

LIP has crafted an exclusive model that channels a true passion for motorsport. This numbered limited edition - just 1,906 pieces - pays tribute to the first Grand Prix de France with a bold, race-inspired aesthetic. The 39 mm case in 316L stainless steel shines with a brilliant polished finish. This timepiece evokes an era when race-ready chronographs were the ultimate badge of the rally enthusiast. Co-branded with the Grand Prix de France Historique, it merges elegance with performance. Worn on a tricolor nylon strap and delivered with a second perforated black leather strap with blue stitching, it offers two distinct looks with the same prestige. Water resistant to 5 ATM and secured by a screw-down case back.

The Dial

The dial is a genuine visual celebration. Dressed in shades of blue and white, it showcases geometric patterns that highlight its sporting character. The white central section is elegantly framed by two blue sub-dials: one for the chronograph minutes and another featuring a 24-hour hand. These elements are connected by a checkered flag motif, the ultimate symbol of speed and competition. Luminous hands ensure easy reading day or night, while Arabic numerals reinforce design clarity. A tachymeter scale, discreetly arranged around the periphery, completes this distinctive look. The dial is protected by a domed K1 mineral crystal, built for resistance and durability.

The Movement

The technical heart of this chronograph is the Seiko VK64 meca-quartz movement. This Japanese caliber masterfully blends the precision of quartz with the charm of a mechanical movement. The stop-seconds mechanism allows for perfect synchronization - a must for the most demanding timing enthusiasts. Beyond the classic hours, minutes, and seconds, this movement integrates a 1/5th-second chronograph up to 60 minutes and a 24-hour counter. Watch aficionados will appreciate the technical brilliance of this high-performance mechanism, delivering unshakeable reliability through every daily adventure.

The Strap

This watch stands out with its two interchangeable straps that adapt to any style or occasion. The first strap, in tricolor woven nylon, directly references the colors of the Grand Prix de France, reinforcing the unique identity of this limited edition. The second strap, in perforated black leather with blue stitching, adds a sophisticated and decidedly modern touch. Both feature a silver-tone pin buckle, ensuring comfort and security. With a lug width of 18 mm, these straps are as functional as they are stylish - built to last and designed for every adventure.

Water Resistance

This LIP model offers water resistance up to 5 ATM, making it resilient against rain, splashes, and the occasional brief submersion. While it isn't built for diving, it's more than capable of keeping up with everyday life. The screw-down case back reinforces this water resistance with a tight, secure seal. Precision meets practicality - this is a watch for those who demand both elegance and performance in an active lifestyle.
