Q: What is the Hermès Cape Cod 23mm Ref. CC1.210 Double Tour Strap Watch? A: It’s a Swiss‑made quartz wristwatch featuring a 23mm stainless steel case and Hermès’ iconic Double Tour leather strap that wraps twice around the wrist. The Cape Cod line is known for its refined, modern‑classic aesthetic. Dial configurations can vary by reference and year; please check our photos for the exact layout of this piece.
Q: How do I wear and fasten the Double Tour strap correctly? A: Place the watch head on the wrist, wrap the long strap around the wrist twice, thread the end through the buckle, and secure it using the appropriate hole. Smooth the two layers so they sit flat and use the keepers to tuck the free end. For comfort, start with a slightly looser hole and adjust as needed—leather will settle with wear.
Q: Can I swap the strap, and which replacements are compatible? A: Yes. Hermès offers Cape Cod straps in Double Tour and Single Tour styles in various leathers and colours. Choose straps specifically made for the Cape Cod in the size that matches the 23mm case. Fit and hole placement can differ by generation, so we recommend having a Hermès boutique or a qualified watchmaker fit the strap. Contact us if you’d like guidance on sizing options.
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 Cape Cod quartz models take a common 1.55V silver‑oxide cell (often a 377/SR626SW), but the exact battery can vary—please have a watchmaker confirm before replacement. Typical battery life is around 2–3 years depending on use and storage.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I get it wet? A: Cape Cod models were generally rated to everyday splash resistance when new, but water resistance on vintage watches is not guaranteed. We recommend avoiding showering, swimming, or submersion unless the gaskets have been replaced and the watch has been pressure‑tested. Keep the leather strap away from moisture to preserve its condition.
Q: Will the 23mm case suit my wrist, and is it unisex? A: The 23mm case wears as a petite, elegant profile. The Double Tour creates a distinctive layered look that suits small to medium wrists particularly well, and can be styled unisex depending on preference. If you’re unsure, share your wrist measurement and we’ll advise on strap length and fit.
Q: How do I set the time (and date, if present)? A: Gently pull the crown out to the setting position and rotate to set the hands. If your dial has a date, avoid changing it between roughly 8pm and 2am to protect the mechanism. When finished, push the crown back in firmly. If the watch has stopped, a new battery may be required—have this done by a professional to avoid case or seal damage.
Q: What materials are used and how durable is it? A: The case is stainless steel and the strap is genuine Hermès leather. Many Cape Cod models feature a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal, though specifics can vary by reference and era—we can confirm for this piece on request. As a vintage item, expect gentle wear consistent with age; please refer to our detailed photos and description.
Q: How should I clean and care for the watch and strap? A: Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For the leather strap, use a dry cloth and avoid water, perfumes, lotions, and solvents. If conditioning, use a neutral, high‑quality leather conditioner sparingly. Store the watch away from humidity and direct sunlight, ideally in its box, and avoid strong magnets and extreme temperatures.
Q: What is included, and how do you guarantee authenticity? A: This watch is delivered with its box, as listed. A Retro Tale specialises in authentic luxury vintage accessories and professionally authenticates every item. All our watches come with a 12‑month mechanical guarantee; batteries are considered consumables, but we’re happy to assist with replacement and servicing via trusted partners.
