Q: What is the Hermès Tandem 19mm Ref. TA1.210? A: It’s a compact, rectangular Hermès wristwatch in stainless steel with a 19mm-wide case (approx. 30mm length), a salmon‑pink dial and a stainless steel bracelet with a double‑folding (butterfly/deployant) clasp. This Swiss‑made example dates to circa 2015 and carries serial number 2243231.
Q: Is this model quartz or automatic? A: The Tandem Ref. TA1.210 is powered by a Swiss quartz movement for precise, low‑maintenance timekeeping.
Q: What crystal does it use and how durable is it? A: The model is fitted with a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal, offering excellent clarity and everyday durability compared with mineral or acrylic glass.
Q: Can I swim or shower with it? A: We do not recommend swimming or showering with any vintage watch. Water resistance on older pieces cannot be guaranteed without a recent pressure test. Treat it as splash‑resistant only and avoid submersion or steam (showers, saunas).
Q: Will it fit my wrist? A: This watch is currently sized to fit a wrist up to 16.25 cm in circumference and can be adjusted smaller by removing links. No extra links are included with this listing.
Q: Can the bracelet be swapped for a leather strap? A: Yes. The Tandem accepts compatible Hermès‑style straps; the lug width is approximately 14mm. We recommend having a professional fit the correct spring bars to ensure a secure installation.
Q: What is included with the purchase? A: This item is listed as “no accessories,” meaning it does not include the original box, papers or spare links. It is sold with A Retro Tale’s full authenticity guarantee, secure packaging and a 12‑month movement warranty.
Q: What is the condition of this specific watch? A: It is graded Very Good, showing light signs of wear consistent with age. The hardware is shiny with some surface scratches; please review the photos for details.
Q: How do I set the time on this quartz watch? A: Gently pull the crown out one click to the hand‑setting position, rotate to set the hands, then press the crown back in firmly. Avoid setting the time while the watch is wet or in a humid environment.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing, and do I need to service it? A: Quartz batteries typically last around 2–3 years. Have the battery replaced by a professional so the gaskets can be inspected or refreshed at the same time. Even quartz watches benefit from periodic check‑ups to maintain water‑resistance seals and overall reliability.
