Description
The Michel Herbelin Classique reference 12248AP08 is a quartz-powered men's watch with a 38mm round stainless steel case, a silver textured dial and a leather strap.
Case & crystal
The round case is made of stainless steel and measures 38mm in diameter, a size that keeps the case profile compact and traditional. A sapphire crystal covers the dial, giving a hard, scratch-resistant surface over the Roman numerals and hands. The case is steel while the band is leather, so the metal sits against a softer strap for a classic dress-watch pairing.
Dial
The silver dial has a textured centre section that catches the light differently from a flat, smooth surface. Roman numeral hour markers give the layout a formal, traditional character, and three hands show hours, minutes and seconds. A date complication is included for day-to-day use.
Movement
Inside is a quartz movement, regulated by an electronic oscillator rather than a mechanical balance. In practice that means steady timekeeping and a low-maintenance routine, with the date and three-hand display driven from the same calibre. When the watch eventually needs attention, our watch servicing and repairs team can help.
Bracelet & fit
The watch is fitted on a leather strap with a pin buckle, which allows you to set the fit on the strap's holes rather than relying on a clasp mechanism. A leather strap moulds to the wrist over time and keeps the overall weight modest.
On the wrist
At 38mm, the round case suits small to medium wrists and wears closer to a classic proportion than a modern oversize watch. The silver dial and Roman numerals lean towards smart and business dress, while the leather strap keeps it relaxed enough for everyday wear. It is a good match for shirt cuffs, and a sensible choice for a gift for him. Browse more Michel Herbelin watches or compare it with all watches in our range.
Water resistance
The watch is water resistant to 30 metres. In plain terms, it will cope with splashes and rain, but it is not intended for swimming, showering or diving, and the leather strap should be kept dry.

Warranty
Supplied with the 2-year international Michel Herbelin warranty, valid when purchased from an authorised retailer and registered at purchase through Cassims & Co.

Our watch service centre in Johannesburg handles warranty work, batteries, bracelet sizing and servicing.
Care guide
- Keep the watch away from soaking: its 30 metre water resistance covers splashes and rain, not swimming or showering.
- Dry the leather strap promptly if it gets damp, and avoid prolonged sun exposure to protect the leather.
- Wipe the stainless steel case and sapphire crystal with a soft, dry microfibre cloth.
- Rotate the strap with rest days where possible, so the leather can air out between wears.
- Have the quartz movement and seals checked periodically through a professional watch service.
- Store the watch away from strong magnets, heat and direct moisture when not worn.
