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 Heure H 21mm Ref HH1.210 watch? A: It’s a vintage, Swiss‑made ladies’ quartz watch featuring Hermès’ signature H‑shaped 21mm stainless‑steel case, a vibrant orange dial, and a stainless‑steel bracelet sized to approximately 15.5cm. Elegant yet playful, it’s ideal for refined everyday wear and dressier occasions.
Q: What makes the Heure H design special? A: The iconic H‑shaped case is instantly recognisable and uniquely Hermès, giving the watch a jewellery‑like presence on the wrist. Paired with a bold orange dial—the maison’s hallmark colour—it offers a distinctive, modern‑classic aesthetic.
Q: Which movement does it use and how long will the battery last? A: It uses a Swiss quartz movement. Typical battery life is around 2–3 years depending on usage and storage. Many similar Hermès quartz watches take a 1.55V silver‑oxide cell (e.g., 377/SR626SW), but please have a professional confirm the exact battery type for this specific piece.
Q: How do I set the time on this quartz watch? A: Gently pull the crown out to the time‑setting position and turn the hands clockwise or anti‑clockwise to the correct time. Push the crown back in firmly when finished. This model is typically time‑only (no date), so there’s no date‑setting step to worry about.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I wear it in the rain or swim with it? A: As a vintage piece, water resistance cannot be guaranteed without recent servicing and pressure testing. Treat it as splash‑resistant at best and avoid swimming, showering or submersion. Keep the crown fully pushed in and store the watch away from moisture when not in use.
Q: Will it fit my wrist, and can the bracelet be resized? A: The bracelet is sized to approximately 15.5cm. Stainless‑steel link bracelets can often be adjusted by adding or removing links; extending length requires sourcing compatible genuine Hermès links, which may be subject to availability. Share your wrist measurement and we’ll advise sizing options.
Q: What type of crystal does it use? A: Many Hermès Heure H models feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal, though specifications can vary by reference and production period. If you’d like us to confirm the crystal type on this exact watch, please contact us and we’ll verify it for you.
Q: How should I care for the stainless‑steel case/bracelet and the orange dial? A: Wipe surfaces gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive polishes, solvents, perfumes and lotions, which can mark metal or the dial. Store away from humidity and extreme heat. Light surface scratches on polished steel are normal on vintage pieces; a specialist can perform a gentle refinish if desired.
Q: What is the condition, and are there any visible marks? A: Overall condition is Very Good. The hardware is shiny with light scratches consistent with careful wear. Please review the photos for close‑ups; they provide the best representation of the piece’s vintage character.
