Hermès Medor 23mm Watch

Q: What makes the Hermès Médor watch distinctive?
A: The Médor is known for its jewellery-inspired design, with pyramid studs and a hinged pyramid cover that opens to reveal the dial. This piece features a 23 mm case, a white dial, gold-tone hardware, and a blue leather strap, giving it the bold, iconic look the Médor line is known for.

Q: Is this a watch you can read at a quick glance?
A: Not quite in the same way as a traditional exposed-dial watch. One of the Médor’s signature design details is the hinged cover over the dial, so you open the pyramid cover to read the time. Many collectors love this secret-watch feature, but it is more design-led than purely practical.

Q: What movement does this watch use?
A: Hermès Médor watches in this format are typically quartz, meaning they are battery-powered rather than manually wound. Quartz watches are generally appreciated for being easy to use and for keeping reliable time with minimal day-to-day adjustment.

Q: Is the 23 mm size considered small?
A: Yes, 23 mm is a compact watch size with an elegant, jewellery-like feel on the wrist. It suits those who prefer a smaller, more refined watch rather than an oversized look.

Q: Can I wear this watch in the rain or while washing my hands?
A: It is best to avoid water exposure, especially because this watch has a leather strap. Hermès advises avoiding contact with water while wearing leather watch straps, so we recommend keeping it away from rain, splashes, and hand-washing when possible.

Q: How should I care for the leather strap and hardware?
A: Wipe the watch gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear and store it away from direct heat, humidity, and prolonged sunlight. Leather can develop a natural patina over time, while the case and hardware may show light marks with normal use. As this vintage piece is already listed in good condition with light scratches, gentle handling is recommended.

Q: What condition is this watch in?
A: This watch is listed in good condition. The case and strap show light scratches, the inside shows scratches and signs of wear, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the product images and product information for the clearest view of its current condition.

Q: Does this watch come with a box, papers, or extra accessories?
A: No. According to the product information, this watch comes with no accessories. If something is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.

Q: Is the strap adjustable?
A: Yes, this watch has an adjustable leather strap with a pin buckle closure, allowing you to tailor the fit across the available buckle holes. If you need exact fit guidance, please check the measurements shown on the product page or contact customer service before purchasing.

Q: Is the Hermès Médor considered a collectible style?
A: Yes, the Médor is one of Hermès’ most recognisable watch designs thanks to its studded cuff-inspired look and concealed dial. Vintage examples are especially appealing to collectors who want a piece that feels both like a watch and a statement accessory.
