Delivery & Returns
Q: What makes the Hermès Medor watch distinctive? A: The Medor is known for its jewellery-inspired design and its signature pyramid stud cover that flips up to reveal the dial. On this piece, that iconic detail is paired with a white dial, gold-plated case and hardware, and a brown leather strap for a bold vintage look.
Q: Is the 23 mm size considered small? A: Yes. A 23 mm case is a petite, elegant size that wears neatly on the wrist and suits those who prefer a refined vintage watch rather than an oversized look. As fit and visual proportions vary from person to person, we recommend comparing the measurement with a watch you already wear.
Q: How do you read the time on a Medor watch? A: The dial is concealed beneath the flip-up pyramid stud cover. You simply lift the cover to view the time, then close it again for the watch’s signature bracelet-like appearance.
Q: What is the condition of this watch? A: This watch is rated in good condition. It shows light scratches on the case, light traces of use internally, and shiny hardware with light scratches, all consistent with careful vintage wear.
Q: What materials and colours does this watch feature? A: This piece features a brown leather strap, gold-plated hardware and case details, and a white dial. The combination gives it a classic Hermès look with a warm, dressy finish.
Q: Does this watch come with original packaging or papers? A: Yes. This watch includes a box and certificate. For the full list of what is included, please refer to the product information.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced in the future? A: In many cases, vintage Hermès watches can be fitted with a replacement strap through Hermès or a qualified watch specialist, depending on availability and compatibility. If you plan to replace the strap, we recommend preserving any original components that come with the watch.
Q: How should I care for a vintage gold-plated watch with a leather strap? A: We recommend gentle handling. Wipe the case with a soft dry cloth, avoid perfume, lotions and harsh cleaners, and keep the leather strap away from water and prolonged direct sunlight. Because this is a vintage watch with gold-plated details and leather, it is best treated as a special-occasion piece rather than exposed to heavy daily wear.
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear? A: It can be worn regularly if treated with care, but many collectors prefer to wear vintage Medor watches more selectively. The leather strap, gold-plated finish, and vintage age mean it is best suited to careful use rather than sports, showering, or rough day-to-day activities.
Q: How do you authenticate vintage Hermès watches? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully reviewed for authenticity by specialists. For vintage watches, this typically includes checks of design details, stamps, serial and reference markings, materials, and overall construction, so you can shop with confidence.
