Nautic-Fantôme Automatique 41 mm

Made in France – Besançon

Designed for diving enthusiasts, this LIP Nautic-Fantôme watch combines elegance and performance. Its 316L stainless steel super-compressor case features a sandblasted finish and a matte black PVD coating, ensuring water resistance up to 20 bar. Equipped with a self-winding mechanical movement (21,600 vibrations/hour), it reveals its mechanism through a transparent screw-down case back, adding a touch of technical elegance. As for its matte black dial, the watchmaker drew inspiration from the 1967 Nautic Automatic, featuring painted numeral indices and a characteristic "arrow" minute hand. This is the first use of this dial in the large format of the Nautic, allowing the watchmaker from Besançon to combine a matte black non-reflective background with very visible white Super LumiNova indices and hands for perfect readability even in the depths. It is protected by a double-domed sapphire glass treated with anti-reflective coating. The perforated black tropic strap offers unparalleled comfort, whether underwater or in everyday use. Its two oversized crowns facilitate handling, even with gloves, and one of them allows you to activate the internal bezel for calculating dive time. Finally, the name "Fantôme" also reflects the desire to eliminate any shine.
