FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes, the Michel Herbelin M-Band 17056/BP19 is designed for daily wear. The sapphire crystal provides excellent scratch resistance, whilst the Swiss quartz movement ensures reliable timekeeping with minimal maintenance. The compact 28mm case size makes it comfortable for extended wear, and the yellow gold PVD coating offers durability against everyday wear.
Q: What is the difference between PVD coating and standard gold plating?
A: High-grade PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating is significantly more durable than traditional gold plating. The PVD process creates a molecular bond with the stainless steel base, resulting in a finish that is highly resistant to scratching, fading, and tarnishing. This ensures your watch maintains its lustrous appearance for years to come.
Q: Will the mother-of-pearl dial change appearance in different lighting?
A: Yes, mother-of-pearl is a natural material that exhibits beautiful iridescence, meaning it will display subtle colour shifts and lustre variations depending on the angle and quality of light. This creates a unique, living quality to the dial that makes each wearing experience slightly different.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing in this quartz watch?
A: Swiss quartz movements typically require battery replacement every 2-3 years, depending on usage. When your Michel Herbelin watch requires a battery change, our servicing team at Cassim & Co. can perform this service using genuine components, ensuring your timepiece maintains its water resistance integrity and warranty coverage.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The integrated stainless steel bracelet can be professionally adjusted by our team to ensure a perfect fit. We recommend visiting our Mall of the South boutique for complimentary bracelet sizing at the time of purchase, or you may return at any time for adjustments.
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes, this Michel Herbelin watch comes with a 2-year international manufacturer warranty when purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised retailer. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, and is valid at authorised Michel Herbelin service centres worldwide.
Q: What makes Michel Herbelin watches special compared to other brands?
A: Michel Herbelin represents French horological heritage combined with Swiss movement precision. Founded in 1947, the brand is renowned for accessible luxury timepieces that emphasise elegant design, quality materials, and excellent value. The M-Band collection specifically celebrates 1970s French minimalism with a contemporary interpretation.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe your watch gently with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove oils, perspiration, and environmental residue that can accumulate on the case and bracelet.
- Water Exposure: Whilst this watch contains a Swiss movement, water resistance specifications are not confirmed. We recommend avoiding water contact, including handwashing, showering, and swimming, to protect the movement and maintain the integrity of the seals.
- PVD Coating Maintenance: Although PVD coating is highly durable, avoid exposing your watch to harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or extreme impacts that could compromise the finish. Remove your watch before applying perfumes, lotions, or cleaning products.
- Storage: When not wearing your Michel Herbelin watch, store it in its original box or a soft watch pouch away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields. Avoid storing near electronic devices.
- Bracelet Cleaning: Periodically clean the stainless steel bracelet using a soft brush with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Ensure no moisture enters the case during cleaning.
- Mother-of-Pearl Dial Care: Never attempt to clean the dial directly. Mother-of-pearl is a delicate natural material that should only be serviced by professional watchmakers. Always handle your watch by the case and bracelet, not the crystal.
- Quartz Movement Care: Have the battery replaced promptly when the watch stops or shows signs of irregular timekeeping. A depleted battery left in the movement can leak and cause internal damage.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend having your watch inspected every 2-3 years by our authorised service team to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This includes battery replacement, seal inspection, and movement verification.
- Avoid Impacts: Although sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, it can shatter under extreme impact. Remove your watch during activities involving potential impacts or vibrations.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep your quartz watch away from strong magnetic fields generated by speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps, and MRI equipment, as these can temporarily affect timekeeping accuracy.
