Q: What size is this Chanel Première M 20mm watch?
A: This watch has a 20 mm case, and this specific piece is listed as fitting a 15 cm wrist or smaller. Although Chanel uses lettered sizing for Première watches, the best guide for this vintage example is the measured fit shown in the product information on this page.

Q: Is this watch quartz or mechanical?
A: This Chanel Première uses a quartz movement, meaning it is battery powered rather than hand-wound or automatic. It is a practical choice if you want easy day-to-day timekeeping without winding the watch.

Q: What makes the Chanel Première design so iconic?
A: The Première is one of Chanel’s most recognisable watch designs. It is known for its octagonal case, minimalist black dial, and chain bracelet interwoven with leather, giving it a jewellery-like look that echoes the House’s classic handbag codes.

Q: Will the bracelet be easy to resize?
A: Vintage Première chain-and-leather bracelets are not usually as straightforward to adjust as standard link bracelets. For that reason, this watch is best purchased for the wrist fit stated in the product information. If needed, an authorised watch service may be able to advise on adjustment or bracelet work.

Q: Can I wear this watch in water?
A: We recommend treating this vintage pre-owned watch as splash-sensitive only. Avoid showering, swimming, saunas, and heavy moisture unless the watch has been freshly pressure-tested by a qualified watchmaker, as water resistance on older watches cannot be assumed.

Q: How often will the battery or movement need servicing?
A: Quartz watch batteries commonly last several years, depending on use and storage. If the watch stops, it is best to have the battery replaced promptly. Regular servicing is also advisable for a pre-owned watch so the movement, seals, and general function can be checked professionally.

Q: How should I care for the leather-and-chain bracelet?
A: Keep the watch away from water, perfume, oils, and prolonged direct heat or sunlight. The metal can be gently wiped with a soft dry cloth, while the leather portions should be kept clean and dry. With regular wear, leather elements naturally age over time.

Q: What condition is this watch in?
A: The watch is described as being in very good condition overall. Externally it shows light traces of use, the internal condition is noted as very good, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches consistent with careful wear.

Q: What is included with this watch?
A: Everything included with the piece is reflected in the product information on this page. For this specific watch, no additional items such as a box, papers, or other extras are listed as included.

Q: How is authenticity handled for a pre-owned Chanel watch?
A: A pre-owned luxury watch should always be authenticated through expert checks of materials, construction, hallmarks, dial details, movement, and reference markings. A Retro Tale specialises in authentic luxury vintage pieces, so authenticity is a core part of the buying process.
