Made in France - Besançon
Created in the late 1960s to meet the demand of the North American market, the Nautic 666, nicknamed the "Devil Diver," has become a true legend in the world of diving watches. This waterproof watch from the LIP brand stands out with its dial designed to withstand depths of up to 200 meters.
Its robust 39mm case is made of brushed 316L stainless steel, ensuring excellent resistance to corrosion and shocks. The Nautic 666 features a unidirectional rotating bezel with 120 clicks, and an anodized blue aluminum insert that adds a touch of color and functionality to its design.
The sunburst blue dial, with its exceptional refinement, houses the LIP R26 caliber, a mechanical self-winding movement designed and manufactured in Besançon. This historic caliber is the first automatic movement produced by LIP since the famous Fred LIP models.
Perfect for sports and diving enthusiasts, the watch is protected by a slightly domed sapphire crystal, treated with anti-reflective coating on both sides for enhanced readability, even in low-light conditions. A magnifying lens on the date window makes it easier to read the date. The luminescent hour markers ensure optimal visibility in the dark, especially underwater.
The Nautic 666’s strap is made of brushed 316L stainless steel, with three rows of links, providing the perfect balance of flexibility and durability. It is fitted with a secure deployant clasp for reliable and comfortable wear. The transparent screwed case back, topped with a flat glass, allows for a view of the French-made automatic movement, showcasing the large balance wheel oscillating at 3 hertz, ensuring maximum precision. The LIP logo is visible through the movement of the oscillating mass, adding an aesthetic touch to its functionality. This diving watch is water-resistant up to 200 meters and, although each model is individually numbered, it is not a limited edition, making it an ideal choice for collectors and enthusiasts of high-precision timepieces.

- Caliber R26 mechanical self-winding LIP Manufacture.
- Oscillating regulation system operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 hertz).
- Accuracy of -5 to +10 seconds per day.

This is Besançon's first self-winding Manufacture movement since Fred Lip. Redesigned in-house with the help of Besançon's SupMicroTech engineering school, it features a power reserve of 42 hours when fully wound, a hacking second hand, and a date display. With over 70% French value in terms of production, this movement, whose balance wheel oscillates at 21,600 beats per hour (3 Hertz), features the LIP logo on its gear bridge and oscillating weight, which seem to overlap enchantingly with its oscillations. Equipped with specific hexagonal screws for the gear bridges, balance, and oscillating weight, it is fully assembled, cased, and inspected by the master watchmakers working in LIP's Besançon workshops.

About NAUTIC 666
A French story
NAUTIC 666 - R26
The hell of a diver
Developed in the late 1960s for the North American market, the Nautic 666, nicknamed "Devil Diver," is famous for its dial indicating a maximum depth of 200 meters. Fred Lip, bold in his communication, dared to display this technical specification, defying the superstitions of the time. Today, this legendary model makes its return in the LIP collection with a 39 mm stainless steel case, a rotating bezel, and a transparent case back revealing the R26 movement, the first automatic movement from the manufacture since Fred Lip.
