Each TAG Heuer timepiece is built to meet the most exacting requirements. The materials used in our

very careful attention is paid to detail. Before a new TAG Heuer product is launched it is put through
more than 60 precision and quality tests.
With its modern, innovative design, your new TAG Heuer watch combines tradition with technical
achievement. We hope it will bring you complete satisfaction.
LIMITED INTERNATIONAL GUARANTEE
Your TAG Heuer has been manufactured in the authentic tradition of Swiss watchmaking and has
been individually tested to ensure that it is water-resistant and functions perfectly. Nevertheless, it is
covered by a limited international guarantee against any manufacturing defect for a period of two
years from the date of purchase, under the conditions below.
What is covered?
Under this limited two-year guarantee, TAG Heuer undertakes to repair, free of charge, any problem
with the functions of the watch that result from defective manufacturing. This guarantee is only
honored in official TAG Heuer Customer Service Centers that are present in more than 100 countries.

n addition, certain limiting conditions do apply and for this reason it is essential that you read the
following paragraphs.
What are the limiting conditions of this guarantee?
To benefit from this limited guarantee the following conditions must be met:
– the international guarantee card, located in the guarantee booklet you received with your watch,
must be enclosed with the watch when it is sent for repair and must be signed and dated at the
time of purchase by an authorized TAG Heuer dealer; TAG Heuer will not honor the guarantee for
watches sold without a valid guarantee card properly filled out and signed by an authorized TAG
Heuer dealer or by a dedicated TAG Heuer boutique;
– the serial number engraved on the case is perfectly legible and no part of the original case back or
original serial number has been removed, modified, falsified, altered, replaced, erased, defaced or
made illegible.
Failure to abide by any of the above conditions renders all rights resulting from the TAG Heuer
international guarantee null and void.
What is not covered?
Damage resulting from service provided anywhere other than at an official TAG Heuer Customer
Service Center is not covered and shall void the guarantee. The limited guarantee also does not cover
bracelets, crystals and batteries, or any damage to the case or movement due to moisture that might
have entered the watch as a result of improper handling. More generally, it does not apply if there has
been improper or inadequate use of the watch.
General conditions and limitations:
This limited guarantee replaces any guarantees implied by some countries’ local law, including the
implied guarantee of merchantability, which are disclaimed. Some countries’ local law may not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you. This guarantee gives you specific legal rights and you may also have
other rights under local laws which vary from country to country. TAG Heuer and its official Customer
Service Centers shall have sole discretion to decide to repair or replace any TAG Heuer timepiece

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. Be sure to rinse your watch regularly with fresh water and soap, especially after it has
been in salt water. f 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.
Condensation. f 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. f 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 0 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.
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. t 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.
