Ideal for a chic city lunch or an evening gallery opening, this vintage Gucci 26mm adds polished elegance. Its gold-plated bangle and clean white dial feel timeless, while interchangeable bezels let you match your look from desk to dinner.
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 model is this and what makes it special? A: This is the Gucci Change Bezel 26 mm (reference 1100‑L), a vintage Swiss‑made quartz bangle watch known for its interchangeable coloured bezel rings that let you change the look in seconds.
Q: How do I change the bezels safely? A: Work over a soft cloth. With clean, dry hands, gently prise the existing ring away from the case using fingertip pressure; if needed, use a thin plastic tool (never metal) to lift the edge and pop it off. Align the new ring and press evenly until it snaps flush. If you’re unsure or the ring feels tight, ask a watchmaker to avoid scratches.
Q: Are bezels from other Gucci models compatible? A: Many 26 mm rings made for the vintage 1100/11/12/11‑12.2/1200 series are typically cross‑compatible, provided they are the 26 mm size. Both plastic/resin and metal styles exist; always verify diameter and fit before use, as tolerances can vary between batches.
Q: How many bezel rings does this watch come with? A: Please check the product information and photos on this page for exactly what is included with this piece. If a specific item (for example, extra bezels) is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What wrist size does it fit and can the bracelet be adjusted? A: The bangle bracelet fits a wrist up to approximately 17 cm as listed in the product information. The bangle is largely fixed in size; minor adjustments or clip‑on extenders may be possible via a jeweller, but we recommend measuring your wrist to ensure a comfortable fit.
Q: Is it water‑resistant? A: As a vintage piece, it should be kept dry. It is not intended for swimming, showering or heavy exposure to moisture, and vintage gaskets may have aged. Remove the watch before hand‑washing and avoid humidity where possible.
Q: What movement and battery does it use, and how long will the battery last? A: These models use a Swiss quartz movement; many examples are fitted with ETA 980.003. Battery life typically ranges from about 1–3 years depending on use. Battery type can vary by movement batch (commonly a small silver‑oxide cell such as 317 or 321). Have a professional confirm and replace the battery; on this model the bezel ring is usually removed to access the case for service.
Q: What are the bezels made of, and how should I care for them and the gold‑plated finish? A: Bezels are commonly plastic/resin, with some metal variants also found. Wipe the watch and rings with a soft, dry cloth; avoid chemicals, perfumes and alcohol‑based cleaners, which can damage plating and resin. Store spare rings separately in a pouch to prevent scuffs, and only swap bezels when both the watch and your hands are clean and dry.
Q: What exactly is included and what is the condition? A: All inclusions and condition notes are detailed in the product information and shown in the photos. Expect gentle signs of wear consistent with its age; if you need clarification on any detail, please contact us before purchasing.
Q: Is this watch authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is thoroughly authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
