Care & Cleaning - TAG Heuer Formula 1 CAH1110.BT0714 User Manual

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.
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.
