The Michel Herbelin City 19515/16NB is a masterclass in refined minimalism, combining Swiss quartz precision with striking contemporary aesthetics. Its sunray green dial, graduating from deep forest at the edges to a luminous centre, creates a mesmerising play of light that captures attention without ostentation. The 38.7mm polished stainless steel case, at just 5.95mm thick, sits gracefully on the wrist, while the signature Milanese mesh bracelet offers both tactile luxury and effortless adjustability. This is a watch for the discerning individual who appreciates understated elegance and Swiss manufacturing excellence.
Powered by the reliable Swiss-made Ronda 704 quartz movement, the City delivers exceptional timekeeping accuracy while maintaining an ultra-slim profile that slides seamlessly under a shirt cuff. The dial's minimalist architecture features polished steel indexes and dauphine hands, with a discreet date aperture at 6 o'clock preserving the visual harmony. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be authorised retailers of MICHEL HERBELIN watches, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer warranty and complete provenance.

A: Absolutely. The ultra-slim 5.95mm case profile makes this watch exceptionally comfortable for daily wear, easily sliding beneath shirt cuffs. The Milanese mesh bracelet adjusts perfectly to your wrist throughout the day, and the Swiss quartz movement requires minimal maintenance. With 30 metres water resistance, it handles handwashing and rain with ease, though it should not be worn while swimming or showering.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing in this quartz watch?
A: The Ronda 704 Swiss quartz movement typically provides 3 to 5 years of battery life under normal usage conditions. When replacement is needed, we recommend having it serviced by our authorised workshop to maintain your warranty coverage and ensure proper resealing of the case.
Q: Will this 38.7mm case size suit smaller wrists?
A: The 38.7mm diameter is considered a versatile mid-size that suits wrist circumferences from approximately 15cm to 19cm. Combined with the slim case height and integrated mesh bracelet, it wears elegantly without visual bulk. We encourage you to visit our Mall of the South boutique for a personal fitting to ensure perfect comfort and proportion.

Q: What makes the green dial special on this model?
A: The dial features a sunray finish with a graduated green effect, transitioning from deep forest tones at the periphery to a brighter centre. This creates dynamic visual depth that changes character throughout the day as light conditions vary. Green has become increasingly popular in contemporary watchmaking as a sophisticated alternative to traditional dial colours.
