LIP Watch: Himalaya Automatic Open Heart 29 mm 671605

Lip: The Himalaya Automatic Open Heart 29mm 671605, a women's mechanical watch with cognac leather

The Lip Himalaya Automatic Open Heart 29mm 671605 offers a mechanical and delicate interpretation of one of the French brand's historic collections. Its compact 29mm polished stainless steel case is paired with a slightly silvered white dial and a camel calfskin strap. At 6 o'clock, an opening directly reveals the automatic movement in operation. Made in France in Besançon, the Lip Himalaya Automatic Open Heart 29mm thus combines feminine proportions, visible mechanics, and vintage aesthetics.

The Lip Himalaya Automatic Open Heart 29mm features a 29mm round 316L stainless steel case. Lip describes a polished finish in its presentation and a combination of polished and brushed surfaces in the technical specifications. With a lug width of 14mm and an official weight of only 28 grams.

The matte silvered white dial of the Lip Himalaya Automatic Open Heart is punctuated by rose gold baton indexes and Arabic numerals. The three hands match this hue, with a red tip on the seconds hand adding a discreet touch of color. The opening at 6 o'clock allows direct observation of the caliber's regulating organ and is the main distinguishing feature of the Himalaya Automatic Open Heart.

The Lip Himalaya Automatic Open Heart is protected by a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment. On the back, its transparent screw-down case back offers a second view of the movement and also contributes to its water resistance of 5 ATM, or 50 meters. The crown is a push-pull type according to the official Lip specifications. The Himalaya Automatic Open Heart is thus designed for daily wear while highlighting its mechanics on both sides of the case.

At the heart of the Lip Himalaya Automatic Open Heart watch is the Japanese Miyota 6T28 caliber. This 21-jewel automatic mechanical movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, or 4 Hz, offers approximately 40 hours of power reserve, and can also be hand-wound via the crown. Miyota announces an accuracy of -20 to +40 seconds per day. The Himalaya Automatic Open Heart thus combines a particularly compact format with a true high-frequency mechanical movement.

The strap of the Lip Himalaya Automatic Open Heart is made of smooth camel calfskin with tone-on-tone stitching. Its width is 14mm. The strap contributes to the warm and vintage character of the Himalaya Automatic Open Heart 29mm while allowing for easy tool-free replacement.

Why choose this watch?

The Lip Himalaya Automatic Open Heart 29mm 671605 is for those seeking a true mechanical watch in a particularly compact diameter. Its Miyota 6T28 caliber visible through the dial, its domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal, and its camel leather strap are three of its main assets.

The Lip Himalaya Automatic Open Heart 29mm also allows its movement to be observed through the transparent case back. Its 40 hours of power reserve, manual winding, sapphire crystal, and 50 meters of water resistance create a configuration suitable for everyday wear. Made in France in Besançon, the Himalaya Automatic Open Heart 29mm offers a warmer and more vintage presentation than the golden 671724 on a Milanese bracelet.

About the Lip brand

Lip connects the history of its Himalaya collection to major French high-mountain expeditions. The company recalls that in 1950, Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal reached the summit of Annapurna, the first conquest of a peak over 8,000 meters, wearing Lip Himalaya watches. In 1955, Lionel Terray and Jean Couzy then made the first ascent of Makalu, culminating at 8,485 meters.

The contemporary Himalaya collection translates this heritage into different diameters and with quartz or mechanical movements. With the Lip Himalaya Automatic Open Heart 29mm 671605, Lip combines a Miyota 6T28 automatic caliber with an open dial, a sapphire crystal, and a camel leather strap. The Himalaya Automatic Open Heart 29mm thus preserves the historical identity of the collection while offering a particularly compact mechanical watch made in Besançon.
