User manual TAG HEUER CARRERA

[. . . ] Our dedication to measuring minute fractions of time has led to many technical patents. It has also established TAG Heuer as official timekeeper for the world's most important sports events and as the 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. [. . . ] 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 or simply pushed in for the TAG Heuer "Classics" models. 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. 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. 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 1 and rewind it manually, or activate the rotor by making movements with your wrist. The automatic movement requires particular care. To protect its accuracy, TAG Heuer recommends that you have it serviced every two years. 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. 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. 5 Display To s e t t h e t i m e a n d d a t e Chronograph hands Timer 30 minutes Timer 60 seconds Timer 12 hours* Position 0: Screw-in crown* If your chronograph is equipped with a screw-in crown, please make sure that the crown is correctly screwed in order to garantee waterresistance to 200 meters.
