The Michel Herbelin Cap Camarat Square Dame 17546BT1N89 is a striking expression of contemporary French watchmaking, merging bold geometric design with refined elegance. This distinctive timepiece features a cushion-shaped case that balances a steel foundation with a yellow gold-plated bezel, secured by four prominent screws that echo nautical-inspired aesthetics. The silvered white dial showcases a sophisticated guilloche pattern with horizontal striping, punctuated by eight diamond hour markers and gold-tone applied indices. The dial's architectural clarity is enhanced by slender gold-tone hands and a discreet "DIAMONDS" inscription at six o'clock, confirming the genuine diamond setting.

FAQ
Q: Are the diamonds on this watch genuine?
A: Yes, the eight hour markers on the dial are set with genuine diamonds, as indicated by the "DIAMONDS" text at six o'clock. This is a hallmark of Michel Herbelin's commitment to quality materials even in their accessible luxury timepieces.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: With 100 metres of water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming and showering. However, we recommend avoiding hot water, saunas, and pressing the crown whilst submerged. Saltwater should be rinsed off promptly after exposure.
Q: How often will the quartz battery need replacing?
A: Swiss quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life depending on usage. We offer complimentary battery replacement services at our Mall of the South boutique for watches purchased from Cassim & Co., ensuring your timepiece continues running precisely.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The integrated bracelet features removable links that allow for precise sizing. Our in-house watch specialists provide complimentary bracelet sizing at the time of purchase, and we can adjust it at any time should your requirements change.
Q: What makes the Cap Camarat collection distinctive?
A: The Cap Camarat line is characterised by its bold cushion-shaped cases with visible screw details, inspired by nautical design elements from the French Riviera. This Square Dame variant combines those signature details with diamond-set elegance and a compact 30mm case suited to feminine proportions.
Q: Is this watch made entirely in France?
A: The watch is assembled in France using a Swiss quartz movement, reflecting Michel Herbelin's heritage as one of the few remaining independent French watchmakers. The dial proudly displays "Made in France" at six o'clock, confirming its provenance.
Q: Does the two-tone finish require special care?
A: The yellow gold plating is durable but benefits from gentle care. We recommend avoiding harsh chemicals, perfumes applied directly to the watch, and abrasive cleaning materials. A soft microfibre cloth is ideal for maintaining the finish's lustre between professional services.

Care Guide
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre every 2-3 years or when the watch stops. This ensures proper resealing and maintains water resistance.
- Water Resistance Maintenance: After swimming or water exposure, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Never operate the crown whilst the watch is wet or submerged.
- Bracelet Cleaning: Clean the two-tone bracelet periodically using warm soapy water and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots on the gold-plated links.
- Gold Plating Care: Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, and cosmetics which may affect the gold plating. Apply fragrances before wearing your watch, allowing them to dry completely.
- Sapphire Crystal: While highly scratch-resistant, sapphire crystal can chip if struck against hard surfaces. Store your watch separately from other jewellery to prevent contact damage.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and magnetic fields. A watch box or soft pouch provides ideal protection.
- Servicing Schedule: We recommend a complete service every 4-5 years to maintain optimal performance, including movement cleaning, gasket replacement, and water resistance testing.
- Daily Wear: Remove your watch before engaging in high-impact sports or activities involving vibration, as these may affect the quartz movement's long-term precision.
