LIP MILITARY
 
Reference: Military Issue Style
Movement: LIP in-house Calibre Manual Wind
Case: Stainless Steel
Case Size: Approx. 33mm
Year: c.1940s–1950s
Crystal: Acrylic
Strap: Black Military Nylon Strap
Box/Papers: No
Condition: Honest vintage condition with an untouched dial displaying warm, even patina developed over decades. Stainless steel case shows expected service wear while retaining its original military character. Recently serviced and running well.
 
Notes: LIP occupies an important place in French watchmaking history, producing reliable timepieces for both civilian and military use throughout the twentieth century.
 
This example captures the utilitarian spirit that defined military watches of the period. Clear Arabic numerals, small sub-seconds and a compact stainless steel case prioritise legibility and practicality above all else. Rather than being restored, the untouched dial tells the story of decades of honest use—something increasingly appreciated by collectors.
 
An authentic piece of French military-inspired watchmaking with genuine vintage character - including what collectors refer to as ‘devil-horn’ lugs. Appears to be genuinely unpolished.
 
Please note that watches are described as honestly and accurately as possible. Please refer to the description and photographs for overall condition and details. Due to their vintage nature, all watches are sold as-is, with no returns accepted unless an item has been materially misrepresented.
