LIP Himalaya Hourglass Black: The French automatic watch for admiring the passage of time

The LIP Himalaya Automatic Hourglass Black 40 mm 671573 watch offers an original interpretation of the Himalaya collection with an open-worked matte black dial in the shape of an hourglass. This LIP watch pairs a 40 mm polished and brushed 316L stainless steel round case with a domed, anti-reflective treated sapphire crystal for a look that is both elegant and contemporary.

On this Himalaya Automatic Hourglass watch, LIP highlights silver indices, partially luminescent silver hands, and a second hand with a red tip. The black leather strap, paired with a chrome pin buckle, reinforces the visual contrast of this version. The official page also specifies a screw-down transparent case back and water resistance of 50 meters.

Powered by a Miyota 8N24 mechanical self-winding movement, the LIP Himalaya Automatic 671573 watch offers a 42-hour power reserve when fully wound. Manufactured in France in Besançon by LIP, this reference revives the explorer spirit of the Himalaya line in a more technical and expressive execution.
