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 Hermès Clipper 24mm ca 2000 Ref. CL4.210? A: It’s a Swiss‑made Hermès quartz wristwatch from around 2000 featuring a 24mm stainless steel case, grey dial with Arabic numerals, a date display at 3 o’clock, and a stainless steel H‑link bracelet. It offers a refined, petite profile ideal for everyday elegance.
Q: What movement and battery does it use, and how long will the battery last? A: The watch uses a Swiss quartz movement. Many similar Hermès quartz models take a common 1.55V silver‑oxide cell (often a 377/SR626SW), but the exact type should be confirmed by a professional. Typical battery life is around 2–3 years depending on usage and storage.
Q: How do I set the time and date safely? A: Pull the crown to the first click to set the date (if quickset) and to the second click to set the time. If the date isn’t quickset, advance the hands past midnight to change the date. Avoid changing the date between approximately 8pm and 2am to protect the mechanism. Push the crown back in firmly after setting.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I wear it while swimming? A: While Clipper models were designed with practical water resistance when new, water resistance on vintage watches cannot be guaranteed. Treat this as splash‑resistant at best; avoid swimming, showering, or submersion unless the watch has been freshly serviced, re‑sealed and pressure‑tested. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any moisture exposure.
Q: Will the 24mm size suit my wrist, and is it unisex? A: The 24mm case provides a delicate, petite presence typically associated with ladies’ sizing, though it can be worn unisex depending on style preference. This bracelet fits wrists up to about 16.5cm as listed; we can advise on fit and proportions for your wrist.
Q: Can the H‑link bracelet be resized or extended? A: Yes—links can be added or removed by a qualified watchmaker/jeweller. This piece includes extra links, which may allow for a larger wrist size. We can size the bracelet before dispatch; please share your wrist measurement. Strap swaps require Hermès‑compatible parts due to the model‑specific fit.
Q: What crystal does it have? A: Many Hermès Clipper models are fitted with a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal, though details can vary by reference. We can confirm the crystal type on this exact CL4.210 upon request.
Q: What is included and what is the condition? A: This watch comes with a box and extra links, as noted. Condition is Very Good with light scratches on the case and bracelet and light internal trace of use. If you’d like additional photos or close‑ups, we’re happy to provide them.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. If needed, use a lightly damp cloth on the steel parts and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, perfumes and chemicals. Store away from moisture, magnets and direct sunlight to protect the movement and finish.
Q: Is it authentic and what warranty/shipping do you offer? A: A Retro Tale specialises in authentic luxury vintage accessories and thoroughly inspects every item. We offer a 12‑month mechanical guarantee on our watches, secure insured DHL shipping, and a 14‑day return policy. We can confirm serial/reference details (Serial: 1244540; Ref: CL4.210) and share more information upon request.
