The Michel Herbelin Epsilon 19416/BT14N is a refined expression of Swiss watchmaking, combining classic design with contemporary elegance. This 38mm timepiece features a striking black dial with applied gold-tone hour markers and slender hands, housed in a polished stainless steel case with a slim 6mm profile. The two-tone bracelet, alternating brushed stainless steel with polished gold-tone centre links, creates a sophisticated visual balance that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to evening wear.
Powered by a precision Swiss-made ETA F05.111 quartz movement, this Epsilon model delivers reliable timekeeping with minimal maintenance. The dial's sunray finish catches light beautifully, whilst the date window at 6 o'clock provides practical functionality.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and daily residue

- Avoid contact with chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning products that may damage the gold-tone finish
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports, as it has limited water resistance (30m/3ATM)
