The Michel Herbelin Cap Camarat 14545BTR19 is a timepiece of exceptional elegance, blending French horological craftsmanship with sophisticated design. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to present this 33mm quartz watch, which showcases a stunning mother-of-pearl dial with horizontal texturing that catches the light beautifully from every angle. The hexagonal case is crafted from 316L stainless steel with a rose gold PVD bezel, featuring six polished screw details that lend the watch a distinctive maritime-inspired aesthetic reminiscent of luxury yacht fittings.
The dial features rose gold baton indices and matching hands, creating a harmonious contrast against the iridescent mother-of-pearl backdrop. A date aperture at 6 o'clock adds practical functionality to this refined timepiece. The two-tone integrated bracelet alternates brushed stainless steel links with polished rose gold PVD centre links, secured by a double folding clasp with lateral push-buttons. With 100 metres of water resistance and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, this watch is built for both elegance and everyday durability.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and water sports?
A: Yes, with 100 metres of water resistance, the Cap Camarat 14545BTR19 is suitable for swimming, snorkelling and recreational water activities. However, we recommend avoiding hot showers, saunas and operating the crown whilst underwater to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: What type of battery does this quartz watch use and how long will it last?
A: This Michel Herbelin quartz watch uses a standard watch battery that typically lasts 2-3 years depending on usage. When replacement is required, our boutique at Mall of the South offers professional battery replacement services to ensure proper resealing and water resistance maintenance.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The integrated two-tone bracelet can be professionally sized to fit your wrist perfectly. We offer complimentary bracelet adjustment when you purchase from our boutique, and our watchmakers use proper tools to ensure the bracelet maintains its structural integrity and finish.
Q: What is the difference between PVD rose gold and solid rose gold?
A: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is a high-tech coating process that bonds rose gold material to the stainless steel surface at a molecular level. It offers excellent durability and colour fastness whilst keeping the watch more accessible than solid gold. Michel Herbelin's PVD coating is renowned for its longevity and resistance to wear.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions as well as everyday wear?
A: The Cap Camarat 14545BTR19 is exceptionally versatile. The mother-of-pearl dial and two-tone finish make it elegant enough for formal events, whilst the sporty case design and water resistance ensure it performs beautifully as an everyday timepiece. It transitions seamlessly from boardroom to beachside.
Q: Does this watch come with the full Michel Herbelin warranty?
A: Yes, as authorised Michel Herbelin retailers, every Cap Camarat watch we sell includes the full 2-year international manufacturer warranty from date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: Why does the mother-of-pearl dial change appearance in different lighting?
A: Genuine mother-of-pearl is a natural material with iridescent properties that create subtle colour shifts as light hits the surface from different angles. The horizontal texturing on this dial enhances this effect, making each viewing experience unique. This natural luminescence is one of the hallmarks of fine watchmaking.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove perspiration, oils and environmental residue.
- Bracelet Cleaning: Clean the two-tone bracelet periodically with lukewarm water and mild soap using a soft brush, paying attention to the links. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth.
- Crown Operation: Ensure the crown is pushed fully in after setting the time or date to maintain water resistance. Never operate the crown whilst underwater or when the watch is wet.
- Water Resistance: Although rated to 100 metres, have the water resistance tested annually, especially if the watch is frequently exposed to water. Sudden temperature changes can affect seals.
- Avoid Chemicals: Keep your watch away from solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics and chemicals which can damage the mother-of-pearl dial, PVD coating and seals.
- Impact Protection: While sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, avoid impacts against hard surfaces which could damage the crystal or movement.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep your quartz watch away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, magnetic clasps, electronics) which can temporarily affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Storage: When not wearing your Cap Camarat, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The original box provides ideal protection.
- Professional Servicing: Have your watch inspected every 3-4 years by our authorised service centre for movement check, seal replacement and water resistance testing.
- Battery Replacement: When the battery requires replacement, have it changed by a professional watchmaker to ensure proper resealing and water resistance maintenance.
