Michel Herbelin 14288B89 Newport Diamond Bracelet Watch - W03102
Ref. 14288B89
Sits in Michel Herbelin’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Michel Herbelin watches we list, which start at £135.
Price range £135 to £405 across 15 Michel Herbelin watches in stock.The Newport collection began as a nod to sailing culture — the bezel echoing a ship's porthole, the caseback engraved with a marine wheel — and this diamond-set variant carries that lineage while pulling the design firmly toward jewellery territory. Ten brilliant-cut diamonds replace the standard hour markers, set against a white mother-of-pearl dial that shifts with available light in the way only natural shell does. Made at Herbelin's workshops in Charquemont, Franche-Comté, it reflects a French approach to watchmaking that keeps the construction in-house rather than outsourcing it to the broader market. At 34.5mm the case sits well on a narrower wrist without disappearing, and 100m water resistance is genuinely more than the dial suggests — the diamonds and the pearl read as occasion pieces, but the bracelet and case will take a pool or a day on the water without concern.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
What size strap does it take?
18mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's, though at 34.5mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
