Story & Heritage
Founded in 1867 in Besançon, France, LIP is one of the most historically significant names in French watchmaking. Renowned for its innovative spirit, distinctive designs and technical experimentation, the company played an important role in making modern precision timekeeping accessible to a wider audience.

The Nautic-Ski collection occupies a special place in LIP's history. Introduced during the 1960s, the original Nautic-Ski became an emblematic French sports watch, combining innovative electronic technology with a practical diving-inspired design. Its distinctive dual-crown architecture and internal rotating bezel reflected the growing popularity of recreational diving and technical sports watches.

The Super Nautic-Ski continued this adventurous design philosophy, offering a bold case, highly legible dial and functional diving-inspired details. Its striking combination of dark tones, contrasting markers and geometric proportions reflects the experimental aesthetics that made French watchmaking particularly interesting during the 1970s.
Today, vintage LIP Nautic-Ski watches are appreciated by collectors for their distinctive appearance, historical significance and connection to the evolution of electronic watchmaking. A charismatic vintage timepiece for collectors of LIP, French horology and unusual diving-inspired watches.
