From boardroom to gallery evening, this vintage Hermès Tandem 26mm in stainless steel brings refined ease to any look. Its rectangular case and brown dial pair effortlessly with tailored suiting or a silk blouse, while the Swiss quartz movement keeps you on time through meetings, dinners and weekend city strolls.

* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What is the Hermès Tandem Ref. TA1.210? A: A petite, rectangular stainless-steel Hermès timepiece from the Tandem line, Swiss‑made with a quartz movement and a clean, minimalist dial. This reference is known for its slim profile and everyday elegance.
Q: What movement does it use and how often will the battery need replacing? A: It uses an ETA‑based Swiss quartz movement. In typical use, a silver‑oxide cell lasts around 2–3 years; we recommend professional battery replacement to preserve gaskets and water‑resistance integrity.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch? A: We do not recommend it. Listings for this reference vary (some mention 30 m, others note no water resistance), and this is a vintage piece that has not been pressure‑tested by us. Keep it dry and have seals tested if you expect any water exposure.
Q: Will it fit my wrist? A: The bracelet currently fits a 14.5 cm wrist or smaller. If your wrist is close to this size, we suggest measuring snugly at the wrist bone for the best reference.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized or extra links sourced? A: Yes. A competent jeweller/watchmaker can remove links for a smaller fit. Adding length typically requires sourcing Hermès Tandem links; availability varies, but we’re happy to help advise on options.
Q: What crystal does it have? A: Sapphire crystal, valued for its excellent scratch resistance and clarity compared with mineral or acrylic glass.
Q: What is the condition of this piece? A: Very Good overall with visible scratches on the case and bracelet, and light signs of use internally. Hardware shows scratches on the case, case back and bracelet. Please review the photos for a close look at wear consistent with age.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This watch comes with a box. All included items are listed under Accessories; if something isn’t listed, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this watch? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, examining materials, finishing, movement, engravings and serials. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
