An elegant choice from office hours to dinner dates, this vintage Hermès Clipper 24mm elevates any look with its refined two-tone steel and gold-plated finish. The compact profile and clean ivory dial feel polished with tailoring by day and a silk blouse or little black dress by night, delivering timeless Hermès sophistication for everyday and occasion wear.

Q: What defines the Hermès Clipper 24mm Ref. CL3.240 (circa 1995)? A: It is a petite, two‑tone vintage Hermès watch featuring a 24mm stainless‑steel case with gold‑plated accents, an ivory dial with date display, the signature H‑link bracelet with a deployment clasp, and a reliable quartz movement.
Q: Is this model quartz or automatic? A: Quartz. The CL3.240 is powered by a battery‑operated quartz movement for precise, low‑maintenance timekeeping.
Q: What type of crystal does it have? A: This reference is fitted with a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal, offering excellent clarity and durability compared with mineral or acrylic glass.
Q: Is it water‑resistant? A: As with all vintage watches, original water resistance cannot be guaranteed without a current pressure test. We recommend treating it as splash‑resistant only and avoiding swimming, showering, or full submersion.
Q: Will it fit my wrist? A: This specific piece fits a wrist circumference of up to 15.75cm. The H‑link bracelet can be sized down by removing links. Please note that no additional links are included with this listing.
Q: How do I set the time and date? A: Gently pull the crown to the first click to adjust the date, and to the second click to set the time. Avoid changing the date between 9 pm and 3 am to protect the mechanism, and ensure the crown is pushed back in fully after setting.
Q: Are the gold elements solid gold? A: No. The two‑tone finish is stainless steel with gold‑plated hardware, which delivers the classic Hermès look. To preserve the plating, avoid abrasive polishing and harsh chemicals.
Q: What is the condition of this watch? A: Rated Very Good (353326). It shows light traces of use consistent with age, including scratches on the case, case back, and bracelet. Please review the photos for details.
Q: What is included with the purchase? A: This item is sold as the watch only with no accessories (no original box or papers). It is fully authenticated and will be delivered in secure packaging.
Q: Is there a warranty and how often does it need servicing? A: A Retro Tale provides a 12‑month warranty covering the movement’s mechanical function. For quartz watches, we recommend professional battery replacement approximately every 2–3 years, with gaskets checked at the same time; a routine service every 5–7 years helps ensure long‑term reliability.
