Lip Nautic-Océan "Expédition 7ème Continent" - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

Here is a diver that is both beautiful and functional and that participates in an ecological approach because all the profits made on the sale of the Nautic-Océan "Expédition 7ème continent" are donated to the association that works to preserve the oceans. I fell under the spell of this iconic model from LIP, made in Besançon with its petrol blue sunray dial. Limited to 599 copies. - The magnificent sunray petrol blue dial, - A thickness of 15.2 mm, - Embeds a Miyota 8215 movement with a power reserve of 42H, - Domed sapphire crystal, - The 41mm case is made of 316L stainless steel, - Transparent screwed back, - It is a "compressor type" diver's watch - Water-resistant to 200 m, - A weight of 90 grams, - 20mm Seaqual canvas strap (made of recycled plastic fibers from plastics recovered in the Mediterranean) is nice but too short unfortunately I changed it for a black tropic.

I was looking for a beautiful automatic watch that was recognizable at first glance with precise specs (that suited me) and a reasonable price! After a long search, this model stood out. It had the advantage of being of French origin, of being in a limited series, from a collaboration with an association that interests me: Understanding, making people understand and reducing plastic pollution in the oceans for a preserved planet! I love the sea, I'm a fisherman, a diver and did my service in the navy, it couldn't have come at a better time! My only obstacle to buying was the thickness of the watch often indicated by the various reviews on the net: No way, it's perfect! The thickness is really not a problem for those who doubt it. I particularly like: its iconic shape with its 2 beautiful striated crowns, its magnificent sunray blue dial, its domed glass with the most beautiful effect, its discreet and functional internal bezel, the discretion of the inscriptions on the dial. I didn't like the seaqual bracelet that came with it as much. Fortunately, Lip offers a wide range of bracelets with quick releases for purchase at very competitive prices.
