FAQ
Q: Is the Michel Herbelin Luna 17457BTR01 suitable for everyday wear?
A: Absolutely. With its 50-metre water resistance, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and durable two-tone bracelet, the Luna is built for daily wear. It's suitable for handwashing and light splashes, though we recommend removing it before swimming or showering. The Swiss quartz movement ensures reliable timekeeping with minimal maintenance.
Q: What is the difference between the rose gold on this watch and solid gold?
A: This watch features rose gold plating over a stainless steel base, which provides the luxurious appearance of rose gold at a more accessible price point than solid gold. The plating is durable and maintains its colour well with proper care, making it an excellent choice for those who love the warm tones of rose gold.

A: The Michel Herbelin warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of purchase. This includes movement malfunctions and case or bracelet defects. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacements, accidental damage, or water damage resulting from improper use.
Q: Is Michel Herbelin a Swiss watch brand?
A: Michel Herbelin is a French watch manufacturer based in Charquemont, France, near the Swiss border. While the brand is French, they use Swiss-made movements such as the Ronda 751 found in this Luna model, combining French design sensibility with Swiss mechanical precision.
Q: What size wrist will this watch fit?
A: The 24mm case size makes this an elegant ladies' watch suitable for most wrist sizes. The bracelet can be adjusted to fit wrists typically ranging from 140mm to 180mm in circumference.

Warranty
- Warranty Coverage: This Michel Herbelin Luna watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
- Valid Purchase: The warranty is only valid when the watch is purchased from an authorised Michel Herbelin retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- What Is Covered: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, including movement malfunctions, case defects, and bracelet construction issues that arise from normal use.
- What Is Not Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacements, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case or crystal, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to maintain water resistance seals, damage caused by accidents or misuse, unauthorised repairs or modifications, or loss or theft of the watch.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may diminish over time due to ageing of gaskets and seals. Water resistance must be tested annually, especially after battery changes or any case opening.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe your watch with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove perspiration, dust, and oils that can accumulate on the case and bracelet.
- Water Exposure: While this watch offers 50 metres of water resistance, avoid operating the crown when wet and do not expose the watch to hot water, saunas, or steam, as temperature changes can compromise the seals.
- Cleaning: Clean the two-tone bracelet periodically with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Pay special attention to the links where dirt can accumulate.
- Rose Gold Plating Care: To preserve the rose gold finish, avoid contact with chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning products. Apply perfumes and lotions before putting on your watch.
- Sapphire Crystal: Although sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, avoid impact with hard surfaces such as concrete, tiles, or other watches, as extreme impacts can cause chips or cracks.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use the original box or a soft watch pouch to prevent scratches.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields such as speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps, and MRI machines, as these can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced only by qualified watchmakers who will test the water resistance seals and ensure proper resealing of the case back.
- Service Intervals: We recommend having your watch professionally serviced every 3-4 years to maintain optimal performance and water resistance. Contact Cassim & Co. for service appointments.
- Crown Care: Ensure the crown is always pushed in fully against the case to maintain water resistance. Do not force the crown when setting the time.
