LIP watch: Churchill C18 Silver 671958

Lip: The Churchill C18 671958, a square watch with a fine mesh silver bracelet

The Lip Churchill C18 Silver 671958 adopts the characteristic square silhouette of the C18 in a silver-toned configuration. Its compact 21 × 21 mm case is crafted from polished and brushed 316L stainless steel, while its fine mesh bracelet adds a more elegant dimension to the piece. Manufactured in Besançon, France, the Lip Churchill C18 combines a historic design with a particularly elegant presentation.

The Lip Churchill C18 features a square case measuring 21 mm on each side with an 18 mm lug width. These proportions allow the Lip Churchill C18 to maintain a discreet presence on the wrist despite its steel bracelet.

The silver sunray dial is one of the main aesthetic elements of the Lip Churchill C18. It is paired with Roman numerals and blue sword hands, the color of which contrasts with the reflections of the dial. A small seconds sub-dial completes the display. The Lip Churchill C18 thus maintains a classic composition inspired by "form" watches, featuring the double horizontal and vertical sunray finish characteristic of Lip's C18 line.

The Lip Churchill C18 is protected by a flat mineral crystal and features a press-fit stainless steel case back. It has a water resistance of 3 ATM, or 30 meters: the Lip Churchill C18 is therefore resistant to common splashes but is not intended for swimming or immersion.

The Lip Churchill C18 is powered by the Japanese Miyota 1L40 quartz caliber, specifically designed for a hours, minutes, and small seconds display. The Lip Churchill C18 thus benefits from simple mechanics adapted to its compact format.

The bracelet of the Lip Churchill C18 is made of fine mesh 316L stainless steel. Lip equips the C18 with quick-release spring bars, allowing the bracelet to be easily removed without tools, as well as a secure sliding buckle to adjust its length. With its silver-toned bracelet and silver dial with blue hands, the Lip Churchill C18 on a fine mesh bracelet offers a modern combination.

About the Lip brand

The C18 has a unique history at Lip. The company describes it as a "happy accident": it was reportedly born from a designer's mistake that transformed the rectangular case of a T18 into a square one. Lip has retained the characteristic Churchill dial on this C18, along with its horizontal and vertical double sunray finish and faceted hands. The Lip Churchill C18 671958 directly perpetuates these codes in a 21 × 21 mm format.

With the Lip Churchill C18, Lip now combines this historic design with a silver sunray dial, blue hands, and a fine mesh bracelet. French manufacturing in Besançon and the small square case allow the Lip Churchill C18 to maintain an identity closely linked to the brand's watchmaking heritage while adopting a contemporary presentation.
