MiniLip 29 671970 Watch

The Watch

Lip embodies a distinctive vision of French elegance. Bridging tradition and modernity, the brand has established itself as a cornerstone of the watchmaking world. With over 100 years of expertise, Lip continues to captivate watch enthusiasts through diverse collections that blend vintage style with contemporary design. Committed to quality materials and reliable movements, the brand now unveils this stunning MiniLip watch - inspired by an iconic educational timepiece with the tagline "It's not a watch for lightweights." This educational-style model features a 31 g case crafted from 316L stainless steel, with a gold-tone, polished finish for a brilliant presence on the wrist. Its round case measures 29 mm in diameter and is topped by a flat mineral crystal that lets the dial's beauty shine through. A crown at 3 o'clock handles hours and minutes adjustment. The watch is completed by a screwed caseback providing water resistance to 5 ATM.

The Dial

This silver-toned dial features 3 concentric circles for easy reading. With a matte finish, the outer navy blue circle displays the afternoon hours while the middle gray circle shows the morning hours. Both circles are tracked by the red hour hand, while the gray hand sweeps over the Arabic numerals of the central circle, which displays the minutes in a highly intuitive way: "5," "10," "quarter past", "half past", "twenty to", "quarter to"…. Finally, the brand name is printed at 12 o'clock as a signature.

The Movement

Powering the watch is a Japanese quartz movement - specifically the Miyota 2025 caliber, running on a 377 battery with up to 3 years of autonomy and a precision of +/-20 seconds/month.

The Strap

This stunning nylon strap comes in bold red and black for a striking look. It fastens with a gold-tone pin buckle for a secure fit and easy adjustment on any wrist. With a 14 mm lug width, it pairs effortlessly with any outfit.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters - or 5 ATM in watchmaking terms - this timepiece can handle the occasional splash, but isn't built for prolonged water exposure. You can wear it in the shower from time to time, but to preserve the mechanism's quality and accuracy, watch specialists strongly advise keeping it away from baths, pools, and the sea. In short: no swimming, no diving, and no extended contact with water.
