Description
The Michel Herbelin Classique 12443/P01 is a quartz watch with a 34 mm round gold-tone stainless steel case, a white dial and a leather strap, and it sits in the hand as a slim, light and compact piece.
Case & crystal
The round case is made from gold-tone stainless steel and measures 34 mm across, with a thickness of just 7 mm. A sapphire crystal covers the dial, giving a hard, scratch-resistant surface over the white face. The case is gold-tone steel while the band is leather, so the two materials contrast rather than match.
Dial
The white dial carries black Roman numerals and black hands, a high-contrast layout that reads cleanly at a glance. A date window at 6 o'clock completes the face and supplies the watch's one complication, the date.
Movement
Inside is a quartz movement, which keeps time with a steady electronic oscillator and drives the hands and date without any winding. It suits a watch meant to be picked up and worn daily.
Bracelet & fit
The leather strap is closed by a gold PVD-coated stainless steel tang buckle, the traditional pin-and-hole fastening that lets you set the fit hole by hole. The buckle finish follows the gold-tone of the case, so the metalwork stays consistent from lug to clasp.
On the wrist
At 34 mm and 7 mm thick, the case has a modest wrist presence that slides easily under a shirt cuff. The Classique is classed as unisex, so it suits smaller wrists and anyone who prefers a restrained, classic proportion. The Roman numerals and leather strap place it in dress and business territory, and it is equally comfortable for everyday wear.

Water resistance
The watch is water resistant to 30 m. In plain terms, that covers splashes and rain, but it is not intended for swimming, showering or diving, and leather straps in particular should be kept dry. For long-term upkeep, our team can advise on watch servicing and repairs.
To see the 34 mm case and white dial for yourself, try it on at our Mall of the South and Greenstone showrooms.

Warranty
Supplied with the 2-year international Michel Herbelin warranty, valid when purchased from an authorised retailer and registered at purchase through Cassims & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship; it does not cover normal wear, batteries, straps, glass, or damage from misuse or water ingress through an unscrewed crown.
Our watch service centre in Johannesburg handles warranty work, batteries, bracelet sizing and servicing.
Care guide
- Keep the leather strap dry; the 30 m water resistance covers splashes and rain only, so remove the watch before washing, swimming or showering.
- Wipe the gold-tone stainless steel case and gold PVD-coated buckle with a soft, dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners that could wear the finish.
- Store the watch away from perfumes, lotions and direct sunlight, which can dry or mark leather.
- Rotate the tang buckle pin gently through the strap holes and avoid over-tightening, to reduce wear on the strap.
- The quartz movement runs on a battery; have it replaced by a qualified watchmaker so that the case seals are checked at the same time.
