Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is this Hermès Médor watch? A: This watch has a 23 mm case, giving it a refined, compact look on the wrist. The Médor design is known for combining jewellery-like styling with a discreet watch face, so it wears more like a statement accessory than a large everyday sports watch.
Q: What are the main design features of this specific watch? A: This 1995 Hermès Médor watch features a red leather strap, gold-plated hardware, a white dial, and the line’s signature hinged pyramid stud cover. The cover opens to reveal the dial, which is one of the most recognisable details of the Médor design.
Q: How do you read the time on a Médor watch? A: The dial is hidden beneath the hinged pyramid cover. You simply lift the cover to reveal the watch face and check the time. This secret-watch style is part of the charm of the Médor and one of the reasons collectors are drawn to it.
Q: Is this watch better suited to everyday wear or special occasions? A: The Médor can certainly be worn during the day, but it is especially popular for dressier occasions because of its sculptural, jewellery-like look. With its red leather strap and gold-plated details, this piece works particularly well for lunches, dinners, events, and polished daywear.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: It is listed in very good condition, with light traces of use. The external and internal condition are both noted as very good, and the hardware is described as shiny with light scratches. As with any vintage watch, gentle age-related wear is to be expected and forms part of its character.
Q: Does this watch come with box, papers, or other extras? A: No. According to the product information, this watch comes with no accessories. If original box, papers, or other extras are important to you, please rely on the product information shown on this page for the exact inclusions.
Q: Is the strap original, and can leather straps show wear over time? A: Vintage Hermès Médor watches are prized for their leather straps and distinctive styling. As with all leather watch straps, natural wear, softening, and patina can develop over time with use. That ageing is normal, especially on vintage pieces, and careful storage away from heat, moisture, and prolonged sunlight will help preserve the strap.
Q: Can I wear this watch in water? A: We recommend treating this vintage leather-strap watch with care and avoiding water exposure. Leather straps are not ideal for swimming, showering, or repeated contact with moisture, and vintage watches should generally be handled more cautiously than modern everyday sports watches.
Q: Is the Hermès Médor considered a collectible style? A: Yes. The Médor is one of Hermès’ most distinctive watch designs, recognised for its studded, secret-watch construction inspired by the house’s iconic Médor motif. Vintage examples are especially appealing to collectors who appreciate unusual Hermès accessories and statement wristwear from the 1990s.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Hermès watch like this? A: Authenticity should be assessed through a combination of construction, materials, dial details, case markings, reference details, hardware, and overall finishing. At A Retro Tale, all items are carefully vetted for authenticity, and buyers often value clear product information, close-up images, and consistent vintage details when evaluating Hermès watches.
