Description
The Michel Herbelin M-Band 17056/BTR19 is a sublime expression of 1970s French design sensibility reimagined for the contemporary woman. This exquisite ladies' timepiece marries the architectural elegance of a polished stainless steel bracelet with the warmth of high-grade rose gold PVD plating, creating a sophisticated two-tone aesthetic that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to evening engagement. The 28mm case, perfectly proportioned for the feminine wrist, frames a mother-of-pearl dial adorned with applied hour markers and slender dauphine hands, all protected beneath a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer of MICHEL HERBELIN watches, ensuring that every timepiece comes with the full backing of the Swiss manufacturer's 2-year international warranty. This M-Band model is powered by a precise Swiss quartz movement, delivering maintenance-free accuracy while the distinctive open-bangle bracelet design—a signature of the collection—offers a striking architectural presence on the wrist. Water-resistant to 30 metres, this watch is built for daily wear with refined style.
The mother-of-pearl dial creates an ever-changing play of iridescent light, ensuring no two moments with this watch are quite the same. The integrated bracelet construction, where the case flows seamlessly into the metal work, is a hallmark of 1970s haute horlogerie that Michel Herbelin has perfected in this modern iteration. The combination of 316L stainless steel with rose gold PVD coating ensures lasting durability and colour retention, while the slim profile sits elegantly beneath a shirt cuff.
We invite you to experience this timepiece in person at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg, where our expert team can assist with sizing and provide detailed insights into the Michel Herbelin heritage. Should you require any after-sales care, our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to ensure your timepiece maintains its precision and beauty for years to come. Nationwide delivery is available across South Africa.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for daily wear?
A: Absolutely. The Michel Herbelin M-Band 17056/BTR19 is designed for everyday elegance. With a durable 316L stainless steel construction, sapphire crystal protection, and Swiss quartz reliability, it is built to withstand the rigours of daily life while maintaining its refined aesthetic. The 30-metre water resistance protects against splashes and brief immersion.
Q: What is the difference between PVD coating and standard gold plating?
A: Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) is a superior coating technology that bonds rose gold at a molecular level to the stainless steel case and bracelet. Unlike traditional electroplating, PVD coating is highly resistant to fading, scratching, and corrosion, ensuring the rose gold finish maintains its lustre for many years with proper care.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the integrated bracelet can be professionally sized at our Johannesburg showrooms. Our experienced watchmakers will ensure a perfect fit for your wrist. We recommend visiting us in-store for complimentary sizing at the time of purchase, or contact us for after-sales bracelet adjustment services.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing in this quartz watch?
A: A quality Swiss quartz movement typically requires battery replacement every 2-3 years, depending on usage patterns. When the time comes, our certified watchmakers can perform this service while maintaining the watch's water resistance seals. We recommend having the battery replaced by an authorised service centre to preserve your warranty.
Q: Is the mother-of-pearl dial fragile?
A: Mother-of-pearl is a natural material prized for its iridescent beauty and is actually quite durable when properly set within a watch dial. The sapphire crystal provides excellent protection against impacts, and the material itself is resistant to fading. Handle your watch with normal care, and the mother-of-pearl will retain its lustrous appearance indefinitely.
Q: What does the 2-year international warranty cover?
A: The Michel Herbelin international warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for 2 years from the date of purchase. This includes movement malfunctions, case or bracelet defects, and crystal issues arising from manufacturing faults. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, accidental damage, or water damage due to misuse.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming?
A: With 30-metre water resistance, this watch is suitable for handwashing, rain exposure, and brief splashes, but we do not recommend swimming or showering with it. For aquatic activities, we suggest considering a dive watch with at least 100-metre water resistance. The decorative open-bangle design is better suited to elegant daily wear than sports activities.

Care guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperature changes, strong magnetic fields, or direct impacts. Remove your watch before engaging in vigorous physical activities or sports.
- Water Resistance: With 30-metre water resistance, this watch is splash-proof but not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. Always ensure the crown is pushed in fully to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Cleaning: Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Never use chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials on the PVD coating or mother-of-pearl dial.
- Mother-of-Pearl Care: The natural mother-of-pearl dial requires gentle handling. Avoid exposing it to perfumes, cosmetics, or harsh chemicals which may affect its lustre. Clean only with a soft, dry cloth when necessary.
- PVD Coating: While PVD coating is highly durable, avoid contact with abrasive surfaces. Remove your watch before activities that might scratch the finish. Store separately from other jewellery to prevent surface contact.
- Bracelet Maintenance: The integrated bracelet should be kept clean to ensure smooth operation. Periodically check the bracelet links and clasp for secure fastening. If you notice any looseness, visit our boutique for professional tightening.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use the original presentation box or a dedicated watch case to protect it from dust and scratches.
- Quartz Movement: Have the battery replaced by an authorised watchmaker when needed (typically every 2-3 years). During battery replacement, request a water resistance test and seal inspection to maintain the watch's integrity.
- Regular Servicing: We recommend a complete service inspection every 3-4 years to ensure optimal performance, including movement check, case and bracelet inspection, water resistance testing, and cleaning.
