Does anybody know if the new Navy color that was released with S7 is the exactly the same navy color that was released with S6.
I’m wondering this because in the apple store site it says ‘NEW’ , along with the actual new colors.

I ask this because Hermes sometimes release the same color name twice. And the color changes a little bit.
One example is the Anemone color from 2016 and from 2020
I would also like to know the answer to this question. The 41/45mm Navy bands do have different model numbers compared to the 40/44mm bands from the S6 era. But that could just be Hermes putting the same leather on 41/45mm lugs.

Would love to hear if someone has a more definitive answer on this.
 
I have had my Fauve Barenia Double Tour Gourmette for a week and I just adore it. It smells like a saddle (hopefully always will) and it’s already starting to patina a little :)

I have no idea why I returned it last year and I actually prefer it to the regular Fauve Barenia Double Tour.

The fact that they’ve misquoted the 45mm double tour length for the 41 means it’s probably a mistake. The Hermes web operation isn’t known for its reliability. As for the ancient Epsom, I wonder if they meant to restock last spring’s Saphir Swift. Love seeing the old hero shots though. Nice find!

I was on online Hermes chat and he check it and said that it is new longer length double tour for 41mm . But I don’t know if it is true.

On the FR website there are no, see if they are errors
 
I know there was in the past for 38mm L size Double Tour for wrist 160-185 mm . So I don’t know if it is now all mistakes on the website or not. So we will see.
 
I need it ?
It is truly gorgeous and it’s my favorite band. I’m not sure where you live but the Madison Hermes in Manhattan is where I found my band. They were able to ship it to me the day I ordered it and they might have more available :)

Thanks! I’ll give them a call in the morning!

Well. I saw in the apple store page during the past week that the Bleu Lin (any size) was currently unavailable. And yesterday they changed the status to sold out?

So, today I went to th Hermes store and bought it from them before it is impossible to get it.
I love it 100%
My collection keeps growing!


PD: did anyone figure out if the New Navy color released with the S7 is exactly the same color from last year with the S6 season? because in the web it is flagged as new.

Thank you so much :) I’m very happy I purchased it and look forward to wearing it for a long time. How many years can the Hermes leather bands last for??
I think it depends on how well you take care of your bands. For instance, Fauve Barenia will age beautifully over time, but you have to be careful with water and humidity.

I would wear your Double Tour Gourmette as a statement piece rather than a workhorse, so that will make the band last longer.

The trick is to rotate amongst different bands so each one gets regular use, but not over/used. I wear sport bands as my daily driver.

I second that. When I see used bands on eBay that people wore as their daily driver, they mostly look gross. I said this before: the Gourmette will probably be a once-in-a-lifetime-band. Take good care of it so you can enjoy it for a long time to come (as you‘ll probably not get the chance to purchase it again in the future or at a ridiculous price).

Finally my first Apple Watch Hermes! After much deliberation (and gift card compilation), I decided to get the Biscuit/Bleu Circuit H band - only to find it sold out. I went with the Navy and, while not quite the statement piece I’d wanted, I am thrilled with it and love how it looks with the Circuit H Navy face. Now to try not to buy them all… :)
