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 are the key details of this Hermès Clipper? A: Stainless steel case and bracelet, 23 mm case diameter, cream dial with date at 3 o’clock, Swiss quartz movement, and a folding deployment clasp. This is a vintage model from the Clipper line known for its nautical‑inspired bezel design.
Q: Will it fit my wrist out of the box? A: The bracelet currently fits a wrist up to about 15.5 cm. It can usually be shortened by removing links. If your wrist is larger, you may need extra links sourced separately; only what is listed in the product information is included.
Q: Is it water resistant and can I swim or shower with it? A: Small non‑diver Clipper references were typically rated around 30 m when new, which is suitable for light splashes and rain only. As a vintage watch, water resistance is not guaranteed; avoid showering or swimming unless the watch has been pressure‑tested after a fresh service and new gaskets.
Q: What battery does it take and how long does a battery last? A: Many petite Hermès Clipper quartz models use a 364/SR621SW silver‑oxide cell, but the exact cell depends on the specific calibre; a watchmaker will confirm at replacement. Typical quartz battery life is about 2–5 years depending on usage and functions.
Q: What movement is inside? A: Clipper quartz models commonly use reliable Swiss ETA quartz movements. The exact calibre can vary by reference and production run; we can confirm the installed calibre on request.
Q: Is the crystal sapphire and scratch‑resistant? A: Many Clipper references were fitted with a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal, but crystal type can differ by reference and year. If this is important for you, please ask and we will verify on this exact watch before purchase.
Q: What is included with this watch? A: Everything included is detailed under the product information on this page. For this piece, no additional items such as box or papers are listed there.
Q: What era is this model from? A: The CL3.210 reference appears in listings from around the early 2000s, aligning with the vintage nature of this watch.
Q: Are Hermès Clipper watches considered good everyday watches? A: Enthusiasts often regard the Clipper as a well‑made, design‑forward Swiss watch suitable for daily wear, with dependable quartz movements. It is not intended as a professional dive/tool watch but is valued for quality and style.
Q: Why do some listings say 24 mm when this one is 23 mm? A: Case size can differ slightly based on how it’s measured (without crown vs. different measuring points) and rounding by sellers. We measure this watch at 23 mm; please refer to the Measurements on this page for the precise size.
