Hermès Cape Cod 23mm Ref CC1.210 Double Tour Bracelet Watch

Q: What is the Hermès Cape Cod 23mm Ref CC1.210?
A: It’s a Swiss‑made vintage quartz wristwatch with a 23mm stainless steel case, a silver dial with Arabic numerals, and a stainless steel mesh bracelet. The compact size offers a refined, elegant look ideal for smaller wrists.

Q: Does this watch come with the classic Double Tour strap?
A: The Cape Cod line is renowned for its Double Tour leather strap that wraps twice around the wrist. This specific piece is fitted with a stainless steel mesh bracelet and is delivered with no accessories. If you prefer the Double Tour leather, compatible Hermès straps for the 23mm Cape Cod can be sourced separately—please confirm lug width and compatibility before purchasing.

Q: Will it fit my wrist?
A: This watch fits a wrist up to approximately 17 cm. Mesh bracelets are typically adjusted by repositioning the clasp or by a watchmaker; contact us with your wrist measurement if you need sizing guidance.

Q: Is it water‑resistant?
A: Water resistance on vintage watches cannot be guaranteed. Treat it as splash‑resistant at best and avoid swimming, showering, or submersion. If light moisture resistance is desired, have the gaskets inspected and the watch pressure‑tested by a qualified watchmaker.

Q: What movement and battery does it use?
A: It uses a Swiss quartz movement. Many Cape Cod quartz models take a 1.55V silver‑oxide button cell (often a 377/SR626SW), but the exact battery can vary—please have a watchmaker confirm and fit the correct cell. Typical battery life is around 2–3 years depending on use.

Q: How do I set the time on this watch?
A: Pull the crown gently to the setting position and rotate it to move the hands to the desired time. Push the crown back in to restart the movement. This example has no date complication, so there’s no separate date setting.

Q: Can I swap the mesh bracelet for a different strap?
A: Yes—strap changes are possible and should be done by a professional to avoid damage. For the iconic Double Tour look, choose a genuine Hermès strap specified for the 23mm Cape Cod. Ensure the correct lug width and spring bar type for a proper fit.

Q: What is the condition of this watch?
A: It is in Very Good Condition with shiny hardware and light scratches from careful vintage wear. Please review the listing photos for detailed views.

Q: Is the watch authentic, and what is included?
A: A Retro Tale professionally authenticates every item. This watch is delivered with no accessories unless otherwise stated. We provide secure, insured delivery and a 12‑month mechanical guarantee on the movement.

Q: Who is the 23mm Cape Cod best suited for, and is it unisex?
A: The 23mm size suits smaller wrists and offers a discreet, elegant presence. While often marketed towards women, it can be worn unisex depending on personal style.
