LIP Churchill T18: the historic French rectangular watch

The Churchill T18 671006 is a faithful reissue of a historic 1930s model, associated with a rich history in French watchmaking.

On the LIP T18, the vertically and horizontally brushed gold dial enhances the vintage elegance, while the Arabic numerals ensure easy readability.

Mechanically, this reference 671006, from the T18 series, is powered by a Swiss quartz movement, chosen for its reliability and precision in everyday use. The Churchill T18 features a small seconds subdial, a welcome signature on this model family, and maintains a clean aesthetic with gunmetal-colored Dauphine-style hands. Made in Besançon, France, the LIP T18 is fully in keeping with LIP's heritage, and notably recalls the T18 model presented to Winston Churchill in 1948.

Designed for everyday wear or to mark a special occasion, the Churchill T18 features a brown crocodile-embossed leather strap with a gold-tone pin buckle. With its timeless style and meticulous craftsmanship, the LIP T18 is an accessible dress watch, true to LIP's historical spirit.
