Caring For Your Tag Heuer - TAG Heuer Calibre 17 Instructions And Guarantee Card

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. 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.
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 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. 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.
