FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
A: Absolutely. The Michel Herbelin M-Band 17082/BT62 is designed as a versatile daily timepiece. The Swiss quartz movement requires minimal maintenance, the two-tone bracelet is comfortable for all-day wear, and the 31mm case size is perfectly proportioned for most wrists. The water resistance of 30 metres protects against splashes and brief immersion, making it suitable for handwashing and light rain.
Q: What does the yellow gold PVD finish mean?
A: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is an advanced coating process that bonds gold-coloured material to the stainless steel at a molecular level. This creates a finish that is significantly more durable and scratch-resistant than traditional gold plating. The yellow gold PVD on this Michel Herbelin watch will maintain its lustre and colour integrity for many years with normal wear.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Swiss quartz movements typically run for 2-3 years on a single battery, depending on usage patterns. When your Michel Herbelin requires a battery replacement, our qualified watchmakers can perform this service while checking the gaskets and ensuring the watch remains in optimal condition. We use only quality batteries appropriate for Swiss movements.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the integrated stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized by our team. Links can be removed or added to achieve a perfect fit. We recommend having this done by a qualified watchmaker to ensure the integrity of the bracelet and clasp is maintained. This service is complimentary with purchase at Cassims & Co.
Q: Is Michel Herbelin a respected Swiss watch brand?
A: Michel Herbelin is a family-owned Swiss watch manufacture established in 1947, with a strong reputation for producing refined, classically styled timepieces at accessible price points. The brand is particularly respected in France and among collectors who appreciate traditional watchmaking values. All Michel Herbelin watches are assembled in Switzerland and carry Swiss Made certification.
Q: What is the difference between quartz and automatic movements?
A: Quartz movements like the one in this Michel Herbelin use a battery and electronic oscillator to keep time with exceptional accuracy (typically ±15 seconds per month). They require no winding and minimal maintenance. Automatic movements are mechanical, powered by the motion of your wrist, and require regular wearing or a watch winder. Quartz is ideal for a watch you'll wear occasionally or daily without concern for winding.
Q: Does this watch come in a presentation box?
A: Yes, the Michel Herbelin M-Band 17082/BT62 is supplied in the official Michel Herbelin presentation box with all accompanying documentation, including the international warranty card, instruction manual, and authenticity certificate. The packaging makes this watch an excellent gift choice.
Warranty
- Manufacturer Warranty: This Michel Herbelin watch is covered by a 2-year international warranty from the date of purchase, valid worldwide when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, including movement malfunctions and case or bracelet defects arising from normal use.

- Service Requirements: To maintain warranty validity, any servicing or repairs must be carried out by an authorised Michel Herbelin service centre. Cassims & Co. works directly with certified watchmakers trained in Swiss watch servicing.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove perspiration, cosmetics, and oils that can dull the finish over time.
- Water Exposure: While this watch has 30m water resistance, avoid operating the crown while wet and never wear it in the shower, bath, or while swimming. Hot water and soap can compromise the gasket seals.
- Storage: When not wearing your Michel Herbelin, store it in its presentation box or a watch roll away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields (speakers, laptops, magnetic clasps).
- Bracelet Maintenance: The two-tone stainless steel bracelet can be gently cleaned with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then dried thoroughly. Pay attention to the links where dirt can accumulate. The gold PVD finish is durable but should not be subjected to abrasive cleaners.
- Chemical Avoidance: Remove your watch before applying perfumes, hairspray, lotions, or cleaning products. Chemicals can degrade gaskets and affect the PVD finish over time.
- Impact Protection: While the sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, avoid impacts against hard surfaces. Remove your watch during sports or activities involving potential shock.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend a complete service every 3-4 years, which includes battery replacement, gasket renewal, case refinishing if desired, and water resistance testing. Our watchmakers are equipped to service all Michel Herbelin timepieces.
- Magnetism: Modern life exposes watches to magnetic fields. If your watch begins running erratically, it may have become magnetised. Our service team can demagnetise it quickly and safely.
