CARING FOR YOUR TAG HEUER
MAINTENANCE
The optimal service cycle for your TAG Heuer timepiece is exclusive to your watch and unique lifestyle.
The necessary interval between services will be determined by your individual wearing habits, frequency
of wear, your environment, and the intensity of physical activity you engage in. Therefore, you can
continue wearing your watch for as long as you please and only entrust it for a service if you notice a
deviation from the regular performance, function or timekeeping. However, we usually recommend a
full overhaul every five to six years for both mechanical and quartz watches. For
watches worn in water, it's important to have them tested for water resistance
every two years, as the sealing gaskets age and corrode when exposed to water.
Whenever your watch needs a technical service or check-up, you can take it to
the TAG Heuer authorized store that suits you best or directly request a service
online at www.tagheuer.com. It will be taken care of by our nearest official service
center or certified workshop.
WATER RESISTANCE
Water resistance is the ability to withstand pressure in/under water. In this sense, the term water re-
sistant can be misleading because it relates to pressure and not physical depth. Generally speaking,
a watch used for water sports and swimming should have at least 100 m (10 bar) water resistance.
Make sure to check your watch's specification (usually engraved on the case back) to make sure you
are using it in the correct manner in the appropriate environment. All watches are tested according to
their water resistance level during the last stage of production, but this condition cannot be perma-
nently guaranteed. It may be affected by the aging of gaskets or by an accidental shock to one of the
components assuring the water resistance, such as the crown, pushers and crystal. A partial service
including complete dismantling, cleaning and replacement of all gaskets is performed to prevent any
moisture from entering the movement.
CLEANING
Dip a microfiber cloth or soft-bristled toothbrush into warm water and gently brush over the top of the
watch face and metal bracelet. Avoid using any soap as it can leave particles in small spaces and
do not immerse the watch in water. This operation is strongly recommended after each immersion in
salty or chlorinated water. When required, a professional ultra-sonic cleaning can be made by any of
our authorized service centre.
