CARING FOR YOUR TAG HEUER
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
Please regularly rinse your watch in fresh water and soap, especially whenever you have used it in salt
water. For frequent or prolonged use in water, we recommend you opt for a steel and/or gold bracelet
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.
Crystals
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 warranty. In normal conditions of use, the coating will be completely
satisfactory.
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.
Gold plating
Some of our watches have components on which a thin layer of gold has been deposited by galvanic
electroplating. Sensitive to friction on hard, rough surfaces, this thin layer of gold can wear out over
time. Under normal conditions of use, the plating on your TAG Heuer watch will fully satisfy your
requirements.
