Annapurna Automatique 39 mm

Made in France - Besançon

The LIP Annapurna watch pays tribute to the first summit above 8,000 meters conquered by man in 1950. This LIP Manufacture Movement watch, offered in polished and brushed 316L stainless steel, with a 39 mm diameter, houses the R26 movement – the first mechanical automatic movement made in Besançon since Fred LIP. Featuring a sunburst black dial at the center and a sandblasted bezel around the Arabic numeral markers, it is adorned with an anti-reflective treated domed sapphire crystal protecting the dial. The dial also boasts applied rose gold-plated Arabic numerals and skeletonized rose gold-plated hands, along with a printed railway track. The watch is worn with a genuine black leather strap, fastened with an exclusive LIP Manufacture chrome pin buckle. This new French-made automatic movement is visible through the screwed-down transparent case back with a flat crystal, showcasing the large balance wheel oscillating at 3 hertz for greater precision, along with the appearance of the LIP logo as the oscillating weight moves. This piece, water-resistant up to 50 meters, is individually numbered but is not part of a limited edition. A wonderfully "vintage" timepiece that will elegantly adorn any wrist.
