We congratulate you on your choice of a TAG Heuer watch and thank you for
your confidence in our company. Your choice brings you technical innovation,
accuracy and endurance. These criteria, by which high-level sports performance
is judged, have given TAG Heuer its unique position amongst Swiss watch­makers since 1860. Our dedication to measuring minute fractions of time has
led to many technical patents. It has also established TAG Heuer as official
timekeeper for the world’s most important sports events and as the leader in
the sports watch segment.

Each TAG Heuer watch has been created to meet the most exacting require­ments. The materials we use guarantee the exceptional durability of our
watches, even under particularly severe operating conditions. Extreme care
is taken at every stage of production. Before being launched on the market,
each new product undergoes more than sixty precision and quality tests. In
addition, your TAG Heuer has been examined individually to verify its water­resistance and ensure that it works perfectly.

The international guarantee card provided with your TAG Heuer watch is
recognized by TAG Heuer Service Centers in more than 100 countries world­wide. TAG Heuer’s International Warranty is valid only if the serial number
imprinted on the watch casing is clearly legible and no part of the original
watch back, or original number has been removed, changed, altered, replaced,
erased or defaced. Failure of the foregoing conditions voids all rights resulting

We trust it will bring you complete satisfaction.

Your TAG Heuer requires a certain amount of care. The following guidelines
will enable you to ensure its reliability and protect its appearance over time.

Cleaning. Be sure to rinse your watch regularly with fresh water and soap,
especially after it has been in salt water. If you plan to wear it in water
either frequently or for prolonged periods, we recommend choosing a metal
bracelet, in gold, steel, or two-tone. Please remember that your watch is
water-resistant only when the crown is screwed in correctly or simply pushed
in for the TAG Heuer “Classics“ models.

Condensation. If the temperature changes suddenly, a slight condensation
may appear under the crystal of your watch. This mist will disappear by itself
and will not affect the functioning of the watch. If the condensation persists,
please see your official TAG Heuer dealer.

Pressure seals. Over time, the pressure seals on your watch may deteriorate.
We recommend that you have the water-resistance of your watch checked
once a year by your TAG Heuer dealer, who will replace the seals if necessary.

Automatic movement. When a self-winding mechanical watch has not been
worn for some time, it uses up its power reserve and stops. To start it again,
either place the crown in position 1 and rewind it manually, or activate the
rotor by making movements with your wrist. The automatic movement requires
particular care. To protect its accuracy, TAG Heuer recommends that you have
it serviced every two years.

Caring for your TAG Heuer

Bracelets/ Leather straps. Our straps are made of the finest leather, treated

for superior resistance to humidity. Nevertheless, we suggest that you limit
the time this material spends in water. For the upkeep of your leather strap,
we recommend cleaning it with a soft, dry cotton cloth and not using any abra­sive products.

It is normal for its color to darken slightly with time.

Crocodile straps are delicate, and you should take special care to prevent the
leather getting wet. The crocodile leather comes exclusively from farm animals
and its origin is certified by the customs declaration.

For the upkeep of your metal bracelet,

we recommend cleaning it with soap

and water once a month.

To avoid any risk of accidental opening, our gold, steel, and two-tone bracelets
are fastened by a double security clasp.
