Lip Général De Gaulle quartz silver dial Yellow Gold PVD steel bracelet 31 mm

An emblematic watch in the history of French watchmaking

The Général de Gaulle collection holds a special place in the history of the LIP maison. In the 1950s, the Besançon manufacture maintained close relationships with major French institutions and prominent figures of the Republic. A watch from the brand was then presented to General Charles de Gaulle, who wore it regularly.

With its understated style and exemplary legibility, this timepiece perfectly embodied the discreet elegance cherished by the General. Over time, it became one of the most emblematic models of the LIP maison, helping to establish the brand within the history of French watchmaking.

The current collection continues this heritage by reviving the aesthetic codes of the historic model while adapting them to contemporary expectations.

A classic aesthetic inspired by watches of the 1950s

The LIP Général de Gaulle 31 mm reflects the timeless elegance of mid-20th century dress watches. Its 31 mm round stainless steel case with gold-tone finish gives it a refined and luminous appearance, perfectly suited to a classic and elegant style.

Its silver sunburst dial delicately captures the light and highlights slender baton indexes paired with rose-gold-tone hands, bringing warmth and sophistication to the overall design. The display remains deliberately uncluttered to prioritize legibility, with a three-hand configuration complemented by a date window positioned at 3 o’clock.

The dial is protected by a flat mineral crystal, while the gold-tone stainless steel bracelet, fitted with a secure folding clasp, ensures comfort and elegance in everyday wear.

A reliable and precise quartz movement

At the heart of this watch lies a Miyota GL12 quartz movement, renowned for its robustness and precision. This calibre drives the hours, minutes, seconds and date display with an accuracy of approximately ±20 seconds per month.

It also features a hacking seconds function, allowing precise time setting. This technical choice perfectly reflects the spirit of the watch: a reliable, legible and practical instrument designed for everyday use.

A French watch assembled in Besançon

Like all contemporary watches from the LIP maison, this Général de Gaulle model is assembled in France in Besançon, the historic capital of French watchmaking. Its gold-tone treated 316L stainless steel case, screw-down caseback and water resistance of 100 meters provide robustness and versatility for everyday wear.

Discreet, elegant and rich in history, the LIP Général de Gaulle 31 mm will appeal to those seeking a classic watch with timeless style, as well as a timepiece carrying a true heritage of French watchmaking.
