The Michel Herbelin M-Band 17082/BP64 is a refined expression of 1970s French design reimagined for the modern era. This 31mm ladies' timepiece combines minimalist elegance with unexpected detail: a striking black sunray dial encircled by a full ring of black spinel stones, creating a sophisticated play of light and shadow. The slender two-tone case and integrated M-Band bracelet — stainless steel with PVD gold plating — deliver a seamless, architectural silhouette that sits beautifully on the wrist.
Powered by a Swiss Ronda 751 quartz movement, this watch offers two-hand simplicity and precision timekeeping without the need for regular servicing. The sapphire crystal glass provides superior scratch resistance, while the 30-metre water resistance ensures protection against everyday splashes. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised dealer for MICHEL HERBELIN watches, ensuring you receive genuine Swiss-made timepieces backed by full international warranty.
The M-Band bracelet is a signature feature: its polished, contoured links flow directly from the case, creating a unified design statement that recalls the golden age of integrated bracelet watches. The two-tone PVD finish adds warmth and versatility, making this piece equally at home with tailored workwear or evening attire. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience the quality and craftsmanship firsthand, and should you ever need assistance, our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to ensure your timepiece remains in perfect condition.

FAQ
Q: What movement powers this Michel Herbelin watch?
A: The 17082/BP64 is powered by a Swiss Ronda 751 quartz movement, known for its precision and reliability. Quartz movements require minimal maintenance and provide accurate timekeeping with a battery life of approximately 2-3 years.
Q: Are the stones on the dial genuine?
A: Yes, the dial features a full circle of black spinel stones. Spinel is a natural gemstone prized for its brilliance and durability, adding a luxurious touch to the minimalist dial design.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: With 30 metres of water resistance, this watch is protected against splashes and brief immersion, such as handwashing or light rain. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing the watch before any water activities.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized?
A: Yes, the integrated M-Band bracelet can be professionally resized. We offer complimentary sizing at our Mall of the South boutique when you purchase from Cassim & Co., ensuring a perfect fit on your wrist.
Q: What is the difference between PVD gold plating and standard gold plating?
A: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) gold plating is a superior finishing process that bonds the gold coating at a molecular level, resulting in exceptional durability, scratch resistance, and colour longevity compared to traditional electroplating methods.
Q: Is this watch covered by a warranty?
A: Yes, this watch carries a 2-year international Michel Herbelin warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer like Cassim & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing?
A: The Swiss quartz movement typically requires a battery replacement every 2-3 years, depending on usage. Our watch servicing team at Cassim & Co. can replace the battery for you, using genuine components to maintain water resistance integrity.

- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, dents, or fading of finishes.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints and maintain the PVD gold finish.
- Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, perfumes, lotions, and cleaning agents, which can damage the PVD coating and affect the spinel stones.
- Remove the watch before engaging in vigorous physical activities, contact sports, or manual labour to prevent impact damage.
- Do not expose the watch to water beyond light splashes — 30-metre water resistance does not mean suitable for swimming or showering.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not being worn, preferably in its original box or a watch case.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker to ensure proper resealing and maintenance of water resistance.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures or magnetic fields, which can affect quartz movement accuracy.
- For bracelet cleaning, use a slightly dampened soft cloth — do not submerge the watch or use ultrasonic cleaners.
- Schedule periodic inspections with our watch servicing team to ensure the case seals and movement remain in optimal condition.
