The Michel Herbelin Luna 17457/BP1N01 is a refined expression of French horological elegance, designed for those who appreciate timeless style in a compact, wearable format. With its distinctive 24 × 24 mm soft-square case crafted from gold-PVD stainless steel, this quartz timepiece offers a graceful alternative to conventional round dress watches. The silver-guilloché dial, adorned with black Roman numerals and a sunray perimeter, captures light beautifully while maintaining exceptional legibility—a hallmark of Michel Herbelin's commitment to functional beauty.
At the heart of this watch beats a Swiss-made Ronda 751 quartz movement, renowned for its precision and reliability. The sapphire crystal ensures scratch resistance, while the 50-metre water resistance provides peace of mind for everyday wear. The gold-PVD integrated bracelet completes the design with seamless elegance, making this Luna model equally suitable for professional settings or evening occasions. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to offer this piece as part of our curated selection of MICHEL HERBELIN watches, each representing the brand's proud heritage of French watchmaking since 1947.
The Luna collection embodies Michel Herbelin's philosophy of accessible luxury—watches that marry classical aesthetics with modern Swiss engineering. This 24mm variant is particularly well-suited to those seeking a sophisticated dress watch with vintage-inspired proportions, yet the contemporary finishing and reliable quartz calibre ensure it remains thoroughly modern in execution. Should you require any adjustments or maintenance, our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to ensure your timepiece continues to perform flawlessly.
We invite you to experience this exquisite timepiece in person at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg, where our knowledgeable staff can guide you through the full Michel Herbelin collection. With nationwide delivery available across South Africa and the assurance of an authorised retailer warranty, your investment in French horological craftsmanship is secure.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for daily wear?
A: Absolutely. The Michel Herbelin Luna 17457/BP1N01 is designed as a versatile dress watch suitable for everyday use. Its 50-metre water resistance protects against splashes and brief immersion, while the sapphire crystal guards against scratches. The Swiss quartz movement ensures reliable timekeeping with minimal maintenance.
Q: What is the advantage of a quartz movement over an automatic?
A: The Swiss Ronda 751 quartz calibre offers superior accuracy (typically ±15 seconds per month versus ±25 seconds per day for mechanical movements), requires no winding, and maintains consistent timekeeping regardless of wear pattern. It's ideal for those who value precision and convenience, requiring only a battery replacement every 2-3 years.
Q: Will the gold-PVD finish wear off over time?
A: Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) coating is far more durable than traditional gold plating. When properly cared for, the gold-PVD finish on this watch will maintain its lustre for many years. PVD bonding occurs at the molecular level, making it highly resistant to wear, fading, and tarnishing.
Q: Is the 24mm case size too small for everyday visibility?
A: The 24mm square case wears larger than its dimensions suggest due to its proportions and integrated bracelet design. The square shape and prominent Roman numerals ensure excellent legibility. This size is traditionally considered ideal for elegant dress watches and is particularly popular for those seeking refined, understated wristwear.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the integrated bracelet can be professionally sized at our Mall of the South boutique. Our watch specialists will ensure a comfortable, secure fit. As an authorised Michel Herbelin retailer, we provide complimentary bracelet adjustment with purchase.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, this watch carries a 2-year international Michel Herbelin warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: What is the difference between this model and the standard Luna collection?
A: The 17457/BP1N01 features a full gold-PVD case and bracelet finish with a silver guilloché dial. Other Luna variants may offer different case finishes (stainless steel, rose gold-PVD) or dial colours. All share the same refined square case architecture and Swiss quartz reliability, differing primarily in aesthetic treatment.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove perspiration, oils, and dust that can accumulate over time.
