Q: Which Chanel Première model is this, and when was it made?
A: This is a vintage, Swiss-made Chanel Première L, reference H0001, dated approximately 1997. The year is an estimate rather than a confirmed production date.

Q: What are the case dimensions?
A: The octagonal case measures 26 × 20 mm. The 20 mm in the product name refers to the smaller case dimension.

Q: What wrist size will this watch fit?
A: This particular watch fits a wrist measuring 14 cm or smaller. Although the model name includes L, use the actual fit stated in the product information rather than a general Chanel size chart. Measure your wrist circumference before purchasing and allow for your preferred wearing comfort.

Q: Is this watch solid gold?
A: No. The hardware is gold-plated, not solid gold. The bracelet combines chain links with interwoven black leather, complementing the black lacquered dial and onyx cabochon on the crown.

Q: Is the movement quartz or automatic?
A: This watch has a battery-powered quartz movement, so it does not require winding. Battery replacement should be handled by CHANEL or a qualified watchmaker. The product information does not specify when the battery was last replaced.

Q: What condition is this watch in?
A: It is listed in very good condition, with light traces of use. Scratches are noted on the case, case back and bracelet. Please review the product photographs for the visible signs of wear.

Q: Has this watch recently been serviced?
A: A service history and internal condition assessment are not specified in the product information. The very good condition rating describes its external condition and should not be taken as confirmation of a recent movement service. Contact A Retro Tale if you need further details before purchasing.

Q: Can I wear this vintage Première in the shower or while swimming?
A: Water resistance has not been confirmed for this particular watch, so do not assume it is suitable for swimming or showering. Keep the leather bracelet dry and ask CHANEL or a qualified watchmaker to assess the watch and test its water resistance before considering water exposure.

Q: How should I care for the leather and gold-plated bracelet?
A: Handle it gently and wipe away surface dust with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking the leather or using abrasive cleaners and metal polish on the gold-plated finish. Avoid wearing other bracelets against the watch, as contact can cause scratches, and seek specialist advice for deeper cleaning or repairs.

Q: Does this watch come with a box or papers?
A: No accessories are included according to the product information, so this watch is supplied without a box or papers.
