MiniLip 29 671971 Watch

The Watch

Watch brand Lip was founded in Besançon and embodies true French watchmaking expertise. Celebrated for its innovation, the brand has long bridged tradition and modernity - delivering watches that are both elegant and functional. Lip's rise to fame came in the 1950s with iconic models like the Lip Nautic-Ski, a design landmark known for its bold aesthetic and ruggedness. Lip is equally committed to local manufacturing and the preservation of French watchmaking heritage. Now, the brand presents this charming educational watch - with the tagline "It's not a watch for small minds." Inspired by an iconic design, the MiniLip features a round case with a diameter of 29 mm and a weight of 31 g. Its silver-tone color is brought to life by a polished finish for a bright, eye-catching look. The case is crafted in 316L stainless steel and topped with a flat mineral crystal that showcases the dial in all its glory. A crown at 3 o'clock handles hour and minute adjustments. Finally, a screwed case back provides water resistance to 5 ATM.

The Dial

This beautiful silver-tone dial features a matte surface and an educational approach to reading the time across 3 circles. The first navy blue circle displays the afternoon hours, while the second gray circle highlights the morning hours. Both are read using the red hour hand, while the gray hand sweeps through the Arabic numerals on the central white circle displaying minutes in plain language: "5", "10", "quarter past", "half past", "20 to", "quarter to"… The brand's name appears at 12 o'clock as its signature.

The Movement

The quartz movement powering this model is of Japanese manufacture - specifically the Miyota 2025 caliber, ensuring precise analog display. It runs on a 377 battery with an autonomy of 3 years and operates at an accuracy of +/-20 seconds/month.

The Strap

The strap on this timepiece is made from nylon - a comfortable, ideal choice for everyday wear. It fastens easily with a pin buckle and features a diagonal stripe pattern in blue and black. The lug width is 14 mm.

Water Resistance

With water resistance of 5 atmospheres, equivalent to 50 meters, this watch is your first step into the world of water resistance. While it's not designed for bathing, lap swimming, or scuba diving, you can afford to forget to take it off in the shower. That said, all of our experts recommend keeping this timepiece dry to preserve its mechanism for years to come.
