your confidence in our company. Your choice brings you technical innovation,

accuracy and endurance. These criteria, by which high-level sports performance

is judged, have given TAG Heuer its unique position amongst Swiss watch-

makers since 1860. 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 require-

ments. The materials we use guarantee the exceptional durability of our

watches, even under particularly severe operating conditions. Extreme care

is taken at every stage of production. Before being launched on the market,

each new product undergoes more than sixty precision and quality tests. In

addition, your TAG Heuer has been examined individually to verify its water-

resistance and ensure that it works perfectly.

The international guarantee card provided with your TAG Heuer watch is

recognized by TAG Heuer Service Centers in more than 100 countries world-

wide. TAG Heuer’s International Warranty is valid only if the serial number

imprinted on the watch casing is clearly legible and no part of the original

watch back, or original number has been removed, changed, altered, replaced,

erased or defaced. Failure of the foregoing conditions voids all rights resulting

from TAG Heuer International Warranty System.

Your new TAG Heuer watch combines tradition and technical achievement.

We trust it will bring you complete satisfaction.

Introduction

The movement

The TAG Heuer Calibre 36 is one of the very few mechanical chronograph

movements to measure short time intervals to 1/10th of a second. A perfor-

mance achieved thanks to a balance wheel vibrating at the exceptionally high

frequency of 36'000 vibrations/hour.

The chronograph functions are co-ordinated by a column wheel. TAG Heuer is

one of the very few manufacturers able to master this sophisticated technique,

the true signature of a great chronograph.

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 or simply pushed

in for the TAG Heuer “Classics“ models.

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 1 and rewind it manually, or activate the

rotor by making movements with your wrist.

Completely wound up, your watch

will continue to function for approx. 50 hours.

The automatic movement

requires particular care. To protect its accuracy, TAG Heuer recommends that

you have it serviced every two years.

Caring for your TAG Heuer

Crystals. Certain crystals of our watches are treated with an anti-reflection

coat so as to improve legibility. This extremely fine coat can become alterated

because of a shock or mishandling. Under normal use, this treatment will offer

every satisfaction.

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 abra-

sive 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*.

To set the time and date

The 0 position only concerns models with a

screw-in crown

(Link-Kirium-2000)

If your chronograph is equipped with a screw-in

crown, please make sure that the crown is

correctly screwed in order to garantee water-

resistance to 200 meters. Unscrew the crown

to place in position 1.

The 0 position does not concern models without

a screw-in crown:

Monza-Monaco-Targa Florio-Carrera.

Position 1: Normal position and manual winding

This position allows you to wind your watch manually by rapidly rotating the

crown. Pull the crown out once more to place in position 2.

Attention: Contrary to most calibers, use intermediary position 2

to correct the time and not the fully pulled out position 3.

Position 2: Time correction

Turn the crown forwards to backwards according to the desired correction.

Pull the crown out once more to place in position 3.

Position 3: Rapid date correction

Turn the crown clock wise to correct the date.

Please remember to ALWAYS push the crown back to position 1 and to screw

in to position 0 if your watch has a screw-in crown.

Additional chronograph function

The unidirectional turning bezel on your

TAG Heuer, with its precision ratchet, is

for the measurement of dive time. The

shape of the bezel is designed for easy

hand rotation, even with diving gloves.

For safety, the bezel can only turn

counterclockwise. If it is accidentally

moved it will indicate a longer elapsed

dive time.

At the start of a dive, turn the bezel so

that the zero mark is in front of the

minute-hand

(fig. 1).

The minute-hand will always show the

number of minutes that have elapsed

since the dive started

(fig. 2).

The tachometer calculates your average speed over a distance of one kilometer

or one mile.

Measure the time it takes to travel one kilometer or one mile (1-60-sec.register).

The position of the seconds-hand on the tachometer scale marks your average

speed in kilometers per hour or miles per hour.

Tachometer*

Only the chronographs being certified chronometer are accompanied by the

certificate attesting that the movement has successfully passed all the tests

of the Swiss Official Chronometers Control (C.O.S.C.) and that its precision

and its reliability have been tested over a period of 15 days, in 5 different

positions and at 3 different temperatures.

The personalized number engraved on your watch and marked on your certifi-

cate corresponds to the chronometer’s movement number and guarantees

that your chronograph is a Chronometer certified by the C.O.S.C.
