LIP Watch: Mach 2000 Mini Square Violet 671665

Lip: the Mach 2000 Mini Square 671665, a square watch with a purple strap by Roger Tallon

The Lip Mach 2000 Mini Square purple 671665 stands out from the collection's Mini Moon versions with its square stainless steel case and its purple leather strap. This model maintains the graphic approach developed by Roger Tallon for the Mach 2000 collection, while adopting a more geometric silhouette. Manufactured in Besançon, France, the purple Mach 2000 Mini Square thus combines a historic design with a contemporary combination of purple, silver, and black.

The Mach 2000 Mini Square has a 30 × 28 mm polished 316L stainless steel square case. Its compact format, 7 mm thickness, 14 mm lug width, and limited weight of 29 grams allow it to remain discreet on slender wrists. The slightly offset lines of the case give the purple Mach 2000 Mini Square an immediately recognizable identity without compromising its daily comfort.

The sunray silver dial of the Mach 2000 Mini Square plays with the light while maintaining a deliberately minimalist composition. Black square indices structure the display, while the black hour hand contrasts with the silver-colored minute and second hands. This understated combination highlights the geometry of the case and reinforces the graphic character of the Mach 2000 Mini Square.

The purple Mach 2000 Mini Square is protected by a flat mineral crystal. Its pressed stainless steel case back and push-in crown complete a fine, streamlined construction. Water-resistant to 30 meters, the Mach 2000 Mini Square withstands common splashes and accidental contact with water, but it is not designed for swimming or water activities.

The Mach 2000 Mini Square is powered by a Swiss Ronda 763 quartz movement. This five-jewel caliber displays hours, minutes, and seconds with an advertised precision between -10 and +20 seconds per month. Powered by a 364 battery, the Mach 2000 Mini Square benefits from a theoretical battery life of approximately 40 months and a stop-second function that facilitates precise time-setting.

The strap of the purple Mach 2000 Mini Square is made of medium purple smooth cowhide leather, accompanied by tone-on-tone stitching. Equipped with quick-release spring bars, it can be replaced without tools to easily change the watch's appearance. Its chrome pin buckle ensures a simple and classic closure. The purple Mach 2000 Mini Square thus combines a bold color with a compact and easy-to-wear format.
