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

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 water-
resistance and ensure that it works perfectly.
The international guarantee card provided with your TAG Heuer watch is re-
cognized 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 from TAG

Gold plating. Some of our watches have design features highlighted by gold
plating electrodeposited on the underlying metal. Over time, repeated friction
from hard, rough surfaces can cause this fine layer of gold to deteriorate. In
normal usage conditions, gold plating on your TAG Heuer will remain completely
satisfactory.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Battery. Your TAG Heuer functions by means of a battery lasting approximately
eighteen months. As the battery is fitted into the watch in our workshops,
you may find its life reduced. Its life is also influenced by the frequency with
which you use the chronograph functions. When you are not wearing your
watch, battery life may be prolonged by unscrewing the crown and pulling it
out to position 3. Do not forget to push the crown back and to screw it in to
position 0
before wearing your watch again.

Calculation of two compared times Setting the hands of the chronograph
After a battery change, or if the function should be affected by a severe
knock or exposure to a strong magnetic field, the hands of the chronograph
should be reset at zero (starting point).
Resetting the seconds-hand and the 1/10th-second register:
1. Put the crown to position 3 (this position stops the watch)
2. By means of short, successive pressures on the button, turn the hands
step by step back to zero
