LIP Watch: Himalaya Classic 29mm Sapphire Gold 671733

Lip: the Himalaya Classic 29 mm Sapphire 671733, a gold jewelry watch with a sectoral dial

The gold Lip Himalaya Classic Sapphire 671733 offers a more precious interpretation of the women's Himalaya. Its compact 316L stainless steel case with a gold finish is paired with a gold Milanese bracelet and a highly detailed silvery-white dial. Manufactured in Besançon, France, the Lip Himalaya Classic Sapphire retains the collection's discreet proportions while adopting the allure of a true jewelry watch.

The Lip Himalaya Classic Sapphire features a 29 mm round case in polished 316L stainless steel with a gold finish. Its lug width is 14 mm and it weighs only 47 grams. These dimensions allow the Himalaya Classic 29 mm Sapphire to maintain a delicate presence, making it particularly well-suited for slimmer wrists.

The dial is one of the main attractions of the Lip Himalaya Classic Sapphire. Lip combines a silvery-white hue with two finishes, sunray and sandblasted, creating different plays of light depending on the viewing angle. The black Arabic numerals contrast with the long gold hands, while a small seconds sub-dial is positioned at 6 o'clock. This layout gives the Himalaya Classic Sapphire a classic, highly legible sectoral aesthetic.

The Lip Himalaya Classic Sapphire benefits from a domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. This feature provides better scratch resistance than older Himalaya models equipped with K1 mineral glass. Its stainless steel case back is screwed down, its crown is a push-pull type according to the official technical specifications, and its water resistance reaches 5 ATM, or 50 meters. The gold Himalaya Classic Sapphire is thus designed to easily accompany daily use.

The Lip Himalaya Classic Sapphire is powered by the Swiss Ronda 1069 quartz caliber. This two-jewel movement displays the hours, minutes, and small seconds. Lip specifies an accuracy of between -10 and +20 seconds per month and indicates the use of a 321 battery. The gold Himalaya Classic Sapphire thus combines a traditional small seconds display with the ease of use of a quartz movement.

The bracelet of the Lip Himalaya Classic Sapphire is made of gold-toned metal Milanese mesh. Its sliding clasp allows for quick adjustment of the length to fit the wrist. This entirely gold-toned finish clearly distinguishes the Himalaya Classic Sapphire from the reference in silver-colored steel with blue hands.

About the Lip brand

Lip ties the history of its Himalaya collection to major French high-mountain expeditions. The brand recalls that in 1950, Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal reached the summit of Annapurna, marking the first conquest of a peak over 8,000 meters, wearing Lip Himalaya watches. Five years later, Lionel Terray and Jean Couzy completed the first ascent of Makalu, the fifth-highest peak in the world.

The contemporary Himalaya collection translates this legacy into various mechanical and quartz configurations. With the Lip Himalaya Classic 29 mm Sapphire 671733, Lip modernizes its 29 mm women's model with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a detailed sectoral dial, and a gold Milanese bracelet. The Himalaya Classic 29 mm Sapphire thus combines the collection's historic name with a more dressy, compact interpretation, manufactured in Besançon.
