Perfect for a polished day-to-night look, this vintage Gucci Change Bezel 26mm watch complements everything from office tailoring to weekend brunch. Swap the bezel to match your outfit for weddings, garden parties or cocktail plans, while its gold-plated finish and crisp white dial lend timeless elegance to any occasion.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What is the case size and who will it fit? A: The Change Bezel has a 26 mm case and an integrated gold‑plated bangle. This piece is best suited to wrists up to 16 cm. If you are close to that measurement and prefer a looser fit, aftermarket extenders are available, but they are not included with this item—please measure your wrist for best results.
Q: How do I change the bezels safely? A: Place the watch on a soft surface, hold the case with one hand, and gently lift the current bezel off evenly using clean fingers or a plastic tool. Align the new bezel over the crystal and press down evenly until it sits flush. Avoid metal tools to prevent scratches and never force the bezel—if it resists, realign and try again.
Q: How many bezels are included with this watch? A: This example includes a set of 9 interchangeable bezels as shown in the photos. Everything included is listed in the Product information section for this listing.
Q: Are bezels from other Gucci change‑bezel models compatible? A: Many replacement bezels are advertised as fitting the 1100L/1200/11/12 series. However, tolerances can vary between batches and eras. If sourcing additional rings, check the seller’s compatibility notes and test fit gently—do not force a tight ring onto the case.
Q: Is this watch water‑resistant? A: Vintage Gucci change‑bezel bangles are generally not water‑resistant. Avoid exposure to water, steam and soaps, and remove the watch for handwashing, bathing, swimming and sports.
Q: What movement does it use and how often will it need a battery? A: It uses a Swiss quartz movement for precise, low‑maintenance timekeeping. Under normal use, a fresh silver‑oxide battery typically lasts around 1–2 years. We recommend professional battery replacement to protect the case and seals; water‑resistance cannot be guaranteed on vintage pieces after opening.
Q: What are the coloured bezels made from and how should I care for them? A: The coloured rings are typically resin/plastic. Wipe them with a soft, dry cloth and avoid perfumes, solvents, alcohol‑based cleaners and prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause discolouration or warping. Store the bezels in their box to prevent scratches.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized? A: The bangle is a fixed‑size design without conventional links. If you need a little extra room, aftermarket extenders exist for this series and a jeweller can advise on fit. If your wrist is 16 cm or smaller, it should wear as intended.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed in the Product information, this watch comes with its box and a set of 9 interchangeable bezels. Papers or additional items are only included if expressly stated there.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this watch? A: Every item is inspected by our specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, movement, stamps and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
