Q: What is the Hermès Clipper 24mm CL4.230?
A: This timepiece is a luxurious iteration of the iconic Clipper line, inspired by the portholes of 19th-century sailing ships. It features a petite 24mm stainless steel case, a shimmering mother-of-pearl dial, and a bezel set with sparkling diamonds. The design is completed by the signature H-link bracelet, making it a perfect blend of sporty heritage and fine jewellery.

Q: Does this specific model feature real diamonds?
A: Yes, the Reference CL4.230 is distinguished by its diamond-set bezel. Unlike the standard steel versions, this model incorporates factory-set diamonds that frame the dial, elevating the watch to a sophisticated dress piece.

Q: What movement powers this watch?
A: It is equipped with a reliable Swiss quartz movement. This ensures high precision and ease of use, as it does not require daily winding like a mechanical watch. The battery typically lasts 2–3 years before needing replacement.

Q: How do I set the date on my Clipper?
A: To set the date, gently pull the crown out to the first click (the quickset position) and turn it to advance the date display at the 3 o'clock position. Pull the crown to the second click to adjust the time. To protect the mechanism, avoid changing the date manually between 8 pm and 2 am.

Q: Is this watch water-resistant?
A: While the Clipper was originally designed with water resistance in mind, we cannot guarantee the seals on a vintage piece from circa 2010 without a recent pressure test. We recommend treating it as splash-resistant only and removing it before swimming, showering, or bathing.

Q: What is the size and fit of this watch?
A: The case measures 24mm in diameter, a classic and discreet ladies' size. The stainless steel bracelet is designed to fit a wrist circumference of up to 17cm. Links can be removed by a professional watchmaker for a smaller fit.

Q: Does it have a sapphire crystal?
A: Yes, this model is fitted with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which ensures the mother-of-pearl dial remains clearly visible and free from the scuffs often seen on older acrylic crystals.

Q: What is included with the watch?
A: This listing is for the watch only and does not include the original box or papers. It is delivered in secure packaging and is backed by A Retro Tale’s guarantee of authenticity.

Q: What is the condition of this specific piece?
A: This watch is in Very Good condition (Grade 353326). It shows light traces of use consistent with its age, and the hardware remains shiny with only minor scratches. Please review the product images for a detailed view of its character.

Q: Do you offer a warranty?
A: Yes, A Retro Tale offers a 12-month warranty covering the mechanical movement of the watch. We also provide free insured shipping and a 14-day return policy for your peace of mind.
