Churchill Watch T26 Auto 671285

The Watch

From Besançon, the watchmaking house Lip celebrates its authentic French savoir-faire with the T26 Auto 671285 - a modern reinterpretation of the quartz "Churchill" model. Its charm lies in its rectangular case, which suits both women's and men's wrists with its comfortable dimensions: 46mm long, 26mm wide, and 10.2mm thick. Inside, the dial reveals a stunning double sunray finish - both vertical and horizontal - dressed in two shades of silver grey. A robust sapphire crystal protects the dial from everyday scratches and shocks. Three black hands display hours, minutes, and seconds with clarity. Black Arabic numeral indices paired with a subtle minute track deliver a clean and precise analog time display. In the lower portion of the dial, a rectangular date window shows today's date. The screwed crown at 3 o'clock adjusts all time indicators. Finally, the screwed caseback ensures reliable water resistance up to 3 ATM.

The Dial

The rectangular dial showcases a stunning double-rectangle finish in two shades of grey. At the center, the lighter background features a horizontal sunray finish, while the surrounding area offers a darker vertical sunray finish - adding depth and character to your jewelry timepiece. Superimposed at the center, the two hands for hours and minutes are joined by the seconds hand, all three in black. They point to Arabic numeral indices and a minute track inscribed around the dial's edge. The date window sits in the lower portion of the dial. The house's signature appears in black lettering below 12 o'clock. Finally, the movement type is noted beneath the hands, and the country of manufacture is indicated on either side of the 6 o'clock index - a mark of authenticity.

Movement

The house slightly enlarged its original model to accommodate an automatic self-winding movement. The Seiko NH05B caliber features 21 jewels, 21,600 vibrations per hour, and a 40-hour power reserve. Reliable and precise, it brings the three hands - hours, minutes, and seconds - to life, along with the date window.

The Bracelet

Made in France, the strap accompanying this timepiece is crafted from Italian cowhide leather with a crocodile pattern. Its grey tone pairs beautifully with the watch's timeless design and your everyday outfits. Comfortable to wear, it features a 22mm lug width and fastens easily with a pin buckle in stainless steel.

Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant to 3 atmospheres (30m) - designed for dress wear, not water adventures. It shines at galas and formal events, but aquatic environments are not its forte. It will handle rain, splashes, and dishwater without complaint, but that's where it stops. We strongly advise against wearing it in the shower or bath, and even more so while swimming or diving.
