Q: What is the Hermès Heure H 26mm ca 2010 Watch? A: It is a distinctive timepiece from the iconic Heure H collection, designed by Philippe Mouquet to feature the brand’s initial as the case itself. This specific example (Ref. HH1.510) dates to circa 2010–2011 and features a medium (MM) 26mm stainless steel case, a sleek black dial, and a black leather strap with a pin buckle.
Q: Does it have a quartz movement and how long does the battery last? A: Yes, this model is powered by a reliable Swiss‑made quartz movement, ensuring precise timekeeping with minimal maintenance. A typical battery lasts approximately 2–3 years. We recommend having the battery replaced by a professional to ensure the case is properly resealed.
Q: Can I change the strap on this watch? A: Absolutely. The Heure H collection is renowned for its interchangeable strap system. While this watch comes with a classic black leather strap, you can switch it for other straps compatible with the 26mm (MM) lug width to match different outfits or occasions.
Q: Is the watch water‑resistant? A: Originally, Heure H models were rated for 30 metres of water resistance. However, as this acts as a vintage piece, we cannot guarantee water resistance without a recent pressure test. We advise treating it as splash‑resistant only and removing it before showering or swimming.
Q: What is the condition of this specific piece? A: This watch is in Very Good condition. You can expect scratches on the steel case and bezel consistent with normal wear, while the hardware remains shiny. The internal condition shows only light traces of use. Please review the product photos for a detailed view of its state.
Q: Will it fit my wrist? A: The current strap setup fits a wrist circumference of up to 18cm. The leather strap is adjustable via the buckle for a comfortable fit on smaller wrists as well.
Q: How do I set the time? A: Simply pull the crown out gently to the hand‑setting position. Rotate the crown to move the hands to the correct time, then push the crown back in firmly against the case to protect the movement from dust and moisture.
Q: What is included with the purchase? A: This watch is listed as "no accessories," meaning it does not come with the original Hermès box or papers. It will be delivered in our secure packaging.
Q: Is it authentic and what warranty do you offer? A: A Retro Tale rigorously authenticates every item and guarantees 100% originality. This watch comes with a 12‑month movement warranty covering mechanical function. We also offer a 14‑day return policy and free, insured shipping.
