Welcome!

There have been a number of threads on these watches. Use the forum search and Google to easily find much info.

The Lipton branded watches were sold in Canada only prior to and during WWII. Most were sold to Canadian service men as the were mainly sold through the PX. I think they were all manual wind with a military type dial.

I thought it was going to be Lipton tea.

That'd have been great.

Love to see it if you have pictures.

If I recall, Sir Thomas Lipton was the originator of the America's Cup Yacht Race. Rolex is big into yacht racing. This is just my own wild speculation.
