The Michel Herbelin Epsilon 19416/BT01N is a refined expression of French horological design, combining understated elegance with Swiss precision. Housed in a 38mm two-tone stainless steel case that balances polished steel with yellow gold PVD accents, this timepiece captures the essence of classic dress watch aesthetics. The crisp white dial features elegant Roman numeral hour markers and a date window positioned at 6 o'clock, creating a harmonious layout that epitomises legibility and sophistication. Powered by the reliable Swiss ETA F01.111 quartz movement, this watch delivers exceptional accuracy whilst maintaining a slim profile ideal for formal and business attire.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised dealer for MICHEL HERBELIN watches, ensuring that every timepiece we offer is backed by genuine manufacturer warranties and authentic provenance. The Epsilon collection represents Michel Herbelin's commitment to accessible luxury, where traditional watchmaking values meet contemporary wearability. The two-tone bracelet construction features a secure folding clasp, whilst the sapphire crystal protects the dial from daily wear. With 30 metres of water resistance, this watch handles incidental splashes and brief immersion with confidence, though it is not designed for swimming or water sports.
The 38mm case diameter strikes an ideal balance for modern wrists, neither too imposing nor too modest, making it equally suited to both gentlemen and ladies who appreciate refined timepieces. The contrast between the polished steel and warm gold PVD finish creates visual interest without overwhelming the design's inherent restraint. Whether you are dressing for boardroom presentations or evening engagements, the Epsilon 19416/BT01N transitions seamlessly across occasions. We invite you to visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience this timepiece in person and discover how it complements your personal style.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for both men and women?
A: Yes, the 38mm case diameter makes the Epsilon 19416/BT01N an ideal unisex timepiece. This size works beautifully on a wide range of wrist sizes, offering a balanced presence that is neither too large nor too small for most wearers.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: The Swiss ETA F01.111 quartz movement typically provides 3 to 5 years of battery life under normal use. When replacement is needed, our authorised service team can install a genuine battery whilst checking the water resistance seals to maintain the watch's integrity.
Q: Can I wear this watch whilst washing my hands or in the rain?
A: Yes, the 30-metre water resistance rating means the watch can handle hand washing, rain, and incidental splashes without concern. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports, as sustained immersion or pressure may compromise the seals.
Q: What is the difference between the steel and gold-coloured elements?

This creates an elegant contrast and added warmth to the design, offering a luxurious appearance at an accessible price point.

A: Absolutely. The bracelet features removable links that allow for precise sizing. When you purchase from Cassims & Co., we provide complimentary bracelet sizing to ensure a perfect fit. Should you require adjustments in the future, our team is always available to assist.

Care Guide
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or prolonged direct sunlight, as these conditions may affect timekeeping accuracy and material integrity.
- Although water-resistant to 30 metres, always ensure the crown is pushed fully in against the case before any contact with water. Never operate the crown when the watch is wet or submerged.
- Clean the case and bracelet periodically using a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water. For deeper cleaning of the bracelet, use a soft brush with mild soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- The sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant but not shatterproof. Avoid impacts against hard surfaces such as concrete, tile, or metal edges.
- Remove your watch before engaging in activities involving strong vibrations, impacts, or contact sports, as mechanical shocks may damage the movement.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from moisture when not wearing it. A watch box or pouch will protect it from dust and accidental knocks.
- Have your watch inspected by an authorised service centre every 3 to 4 years to check water resistance seals, movement condition, and overall functionality.
- When the battery requires replacement, always use an authorised service provider to ensure genuine parts are installed and water resistance is maintained through proper seal replacement.
- Avoid exposing the watch to chemicals including perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning agents, and solvents, as these may damage the case finish, seals, or bracelet.
- If the watch has not been worn for an extended period, check that it is running correctly before relying on it for important timekeeping. Quartz movements may occasionally require a fresh battery after long storage.
