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 of your wrist. The automatic movement
requires particular care. To maintain its precision,TAG Heuer Service Centers recommend a service
every 4 to 6 years. This period can vary according to the conditions in which your watch is used.
Crystal.
The crystal in some of our watches is coated with a single or double anti-reflective
treatment* to improve readability
Wear and tear may cause marks to appear. These are considered
normal and are therefore not covered by the guarantee. In normal conditions of use, the coating will be
completely satisfactory
.
Bracelets / straps.
To take care of your metal bracelet, we recommend cleaning it with soap and
water once a month.
Our straps are made of the finest leather and treated for superior resistance to humidity. Never the -
less, since leather is a noble material we suggest that you limit the time it spends in water. To take
care of your leather strap, we recommend cleaning it with a soft, dry cotton cloth and avoiding the
use of abrasive products. It is normal for leather to become slightly darker with time.
Crocodile straps are delicate and you should take special care to prevent them getting wet. The
leather comes exclusively from crocodile farms and its origin is certified by customs documentation.
For your comfort, wash a rubber strap regularly with soap and water, particularly on the inner sur-
face.
To avoid any risk of accidental opening, our bracelets are fitted with a folding clasp.
Gold plating.
Some of our watches have design features highlighted by a fine, electro-plated gold
coat. Over time, repeated contact with hard, rough surfaces can cause this fine layer to deteriorate.
