User manual TAG HEUER AQUARACER CALIBRE S REGATTA

[. . . ] INTRODUCTION Congratulations on choosing the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Calibre S Regatta chronograph with its exclusive new movement, the Calibre S. Developed and patented by Tag Heuer, it is a world's first and we thank you for your confidence. The Aquaracer Calibre S Regatta chronograph operates in three modes: ­ TIME mode showing the time and date ­ CHRONO mode accurate to 1/10th sec with optimum readability ­ REGATTA mode with a minute countdown specially developed for use in sailing races. This new movement, which is a direct result of TAG Heuer's expertise in sports timing at the highest level, provides the traditional functions of time, date, and chronography. [. . . ] With the hands stopped, the service life of the battery is prolonged. Some of our watches include parts that have been plated with a fine layer of yellow gold. This plating is sensitive to friction on hard or rough surfaces and may show wear over time. Under normal conditions of use, the gold plating of your watch will give you complete satisfaction. Our leather straps are manufactured from top-quality skins and treated to resist humidity. However, leather is a sensitive material and it is best to limit its use in water. To care for your leather strap, we recommend that you clean it with a soft, dry, cotton cloth and do not use any abrasive cleaning products. It is normal for the leather to darken slightly over time. We recommend cleaning a metal bracelet with soap and soft water each month. For extra security, our steel and/or gold bracelets are fitted with a double safety clasp. 1 Hands Hours Note: during the countdown in REGATTA mode, the hour hand remains underneath the minute hand.
