*For those getting a mechanical watch for the first time* A mechanical watch is a precise mechanism that keeps time using the power of a mainspring, without using batteries. When you first receive it, or if you haven't worn it for a while, turn the crown slowly about 20 times to wind the mainspring and stabilize its operation. After that, the mainspring will be wound automatically by the movement of your arm, but you can also wind it manually by turning the crown to the "A" position. Wearing it regularly will keep it in an accurate rhythm at all times.
"Nine out of ten 'greats' in the mountaineering world chose it because of its exceptional resistance to wind, rain, and impact," they say. It was associated with many sporting events and was equipped on all expeditions, including the Tour de France.
The "Himalaya," renowned for its reliability and durability, is now brought to life in the rhythm of an automatic movement. The translucent dial allows you to admire the precise and elegant measurement of elapsed time.
The "Himalaya" watch is the flagship model of the Lip Collection of Yesterday and Today. Manufactured from 1954 to 1973, various models bearing this name were introduced to the market. This watch has a unique character, accompanying the sporting challenges of the time, especially those of explorers like Maurice Herzog, and at one point, Himalaya watches were even provided to the top sportsmen of the time during the Tour de France.
