LIP Watch: MACH 2000 Mini Square 671172

Lip: the Mach 2000 Mini Square 671172, a French design icon entirely dressed in steel

The Lip Mach 2000 Mini Square 671172 adopts the graphic universe imagined by Roger Tallon in a particularly sober and versatile variation. It combines a sunray silver dial with a polished stainless steel case and a matching Milanese mesh strap. Manufactured in Besançon, France, the Lip Mach 2000 Mini Square retains the singular identity of the Mach 2000 collection in an entirely silver configuration.

The Lip Mach 2000 Mini Square features a 30 × 28 mm polished 316L stainless steel square case. Its atypical geometry is directly in line with the approach developed by Roger Tallon, who sought to break away from the classic shapes of watchmaking. With a 14 mm lug width and a weight of 50 grams, the Mach 2000 Mini Square maintains compact proportions particularly well-suited to slender wrists.

The sunray silver dial of the Lip Mach 2000 Mini Square plays with light while maintaining a minimalist composition. Black square indices structure the display, while the black hour hand contrasts with the silver minute and second hands. This graphic opposition contributes directly to the visual identity of the Mach 2000 Mini Square.

The Lip Mach 2000 Mini Square is protected by a flat mineral crystal and features a pressed stainless steel case back. Its push-in crown allows for time adjustment, while its 30-meter water resistance protects the watch against everyday splashes. The Mach 2000 Mini Square is, however, not designed for swimming or prolonged immersion.

The Lip Mach 2000 Mini Square is powered by a Swiss Ronda 763 quartz movement. This five-jewel caliber displays the hours, minutes, and seconds with a stated accuracy of between -10 and +20 seconds per month. Powered by a 364 / SR621SW battery, the Mach 2000 Mini Square benefits from a theoretical battery life of approximately 40 months according to the movement specifications provided by specialized retailers.

The strap is one of the main features of the Lip Mach 2000 Mini Square. Made of silver 316L stainless steel in a Milanese mesh, it is adjustable and secured by a sliding clasp. The quick-release spring bars allow for the strap to be replaced easily without tools. The Mach 2000 Mini Square can thus transition from its sober metallic aesthetic to a more colorful configuration with one of the compatible straps offered by Lip.
