FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
A: Absolutely. The Michel Herbelin Luna 17457T01 is designed for daily elegance. Its quartz movement requires minimal maintenance, and the sapphire crystal provides excellent scratch resistance. The 30-metre water resistance protects against splashes and brief immersion, making it suitable for handwashing and light rain, though it should be removed before swimming or showering.
Q: What size wrist will this watch fit?
A: The Luna features a standard leather strap that typically accommodates wrist sizes from approximately 14cm to 18cm. Our team at Cassim & Co. can adjust the strap length during your purchase, or you may visit our Mall of the South boutique for professional sizing to ensure the perfect fit.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2 to 3 years, depending on usage. When replacement is needed, we recommend having this done by our qualified watchmakers to ensure the water resistance seals are properly maintained. Battery replacement services are available at our Johannesburg boutique.
Q: Is Michel Herbelin a reputable watch brand?
A: Michel Herbelin is a highly respected independent French watch manufacturer established in 1947, remaining family-owned across three generations. The brand is renowned for creating elegant, accessible luxury timepieces with Swiss movements and French design sensibility. All Herbelin watches are assembled in their Charquemont manufacture in the Jura region.
Q: Can I shower or swim with this watch?
A: No. With 30 metres (3 ATM) water resistance, the Luna is splash-resistant and suitable for handwashing, but it should not be worn whilst swimming, showering, or during any water sports. The leather strap is also susceptible to water damage, so we recommend removing the watch before exposure to moisture.
Q: Does this watch come with the original manufacturer's warranty?
A: Yes. When purchased from Cassim & Co., an authorised Michel Herbelin retailer, this watch includes the full 2-year international manufacturer's warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty card will be completed and stamped at the time of purchase.
Q: What makes the bicolour finish special?
A: The combination of stainless steel case with a gold-tone bezel creates a refined two-tone aesthetic that offers versatility in styling. This bicolour approach provides the warmth of gold accents whilst maintaining the durability and value proposition of a predominantly steel construction, making it suitable for both professional and social occasions.

Care Guide
- Store your watch in the original box or a soft pouch when not being worn to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
- Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as these can affect movement accuracy.
- Clean the stainless steel case periodically with a soft, slightly dampened cloth. Dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.
- The leather strap should be kept dry and away from moisture, perfumes, cosmetics, and solvents, which can cause discolouration and deterioration.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports. The 30-metre water resistance is suitable only for splashes and brief immersion.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops or shows signs of low power. This ensures proper resealing and maintains water resistance.
- Avoid impact and knocks. Whilst the sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, it can crack or shatter under strong impact.
- Service the watch every 3-4 years to maintain optimal performance, including movement cleaning, lubrication, and seal replacement.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the manufacturer's warranty and may compromise the watch's water resistance.
- When not wearing the watch regularly, store it away from electronic devices that generate magnetic fields, such as speakers, mobile phones, and laptops.
