LIP WATCH: HIMALAYA AUTOMATIC SKELETON STEEL 671248

LIP Himalaya 40 Skeleton: The Mechanical Elegance of a French Heritage

The LIP Himalaya 40 Skeleton watch (ref. 671248) is the most refined expression of the Himalaya collection, one of the most iconic from the Besançon-based manufacturer. This LIP Himalaya Skeleton watch showcases the intricate work of time through a largely skeletonized dial, revealing the automatic movement in remarkable action.

The case of the LIP Skeleton is made from 316L stainless steel, both polished and brushed, for an elegant and robust finish. Its 40 mm diameter provides a balanced wear, equally at home in professional settings or during more casual outings. The screwed and transparent case back of the LIP Himalaya Skeleton offers a continuous spectacle: that of an automatic Miyota 8N24 movement beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour.

For readability, the LIP Himalaya 40 Skeleton features luminous gunmetal hands and gunmetal stick markers and Arabic numerals on a matte silver-white dial that structures the whole. The domed sapphire crystal, treated with anti-reflective coating, ensures uncompromising readability in all lighting conditions.

Mounted on a black crocodile-effect cowhide leather strap, this LIP Himalaya Skeleton upholds a tradition of timeless style. The chrome pin buckle ensures a secure and comfortable fit for everyday wear. With water resistance to 50 meters, the LIP Himalaya 40 Skeleton is a reliable companion for all situations.
