INTRODUCTION

INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY

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.

Your TAG Heuer chronograph has been made in line with authentic Swiss watchmaking traditions
and has been individually tested to check its water-resistance and to ensure that it is in perfect
working order. Nevertheless, your watch is covered by an International Warranty, valid for two
years from its date of purchase, against any defect in workmanship.

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.

Issued by TAG Heuer SA, this warranty is accepted by all TAG Heuer Service Centers in over 100
countries throughout the world, provided that:

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. In addition,
because the start of a sailing race is often a critical phase, it enables a sailor to:

– the card is provided with the watch when it is sent for repair;

– Set the countdown according to the race regulations (the length of the countdown to the start
varies between different regattas)
– Countdown the time from the first starting signal to the last
– Synchronize the countdown with the intermediate signals
– Start the watch automatically when the countdown reaches zero.
By choosing our Aquaracer Calibre S Regatta you have opted for technical innovation, precision and
endurance. Meeting these criteria of high-performance sports has been TAG Heuer’s mission since 1860.
TAG Heuer is passionately devoted to the measurement of small fractions of time and has
registered numerous technical patents in this field. The company has become the official
timekeeper of major sports competitions and the world leader in sports watches.
Each TAG Heuer watch is designed to meet the most stringent standards. The materials we use
give our watches exceptional strength, even under very demanding conditions. We give particular
care to the standard of finishing. Before being launched on the market, each new product is
submitted to more than 60 tests for precision and quality. At the same time, your TAG Heuer watch
has been individually tested to guarantee that it is water resistant and functions perfectly.
With its unique, modern design your new TAG Heuer chronograph combines tradition and technical
achievement. We are confident that it will give you complete satisfaction.

– the serial number engraved on the case is clearly legible, and no part of the underside of the
original case or the original number is missing or has been modified, falsified, replaced, erased
or made illegible.
Failure to respect these conditions renders all rights resulting from the TAG Heuer International
Warranty null and void.
A number of recommendations are given below for the use and maintenance of your TAG Heuer
watch; please read them carefully as the warranty will become invalid in the event of incorrect use
or treatment. Damage resulting from service provided anywhere other than at an authorized TAG
Heuer Service Center is not covered. The warranty does not cover bracelets, crystals or batteries,
or any damage to the case or movement caused by moisture that might have entered the watch as
a result of improper handling.
Should you need to return this watch, we recommend that you wrap your TAG Heuer carefully so as
to avoid any damage and send it by registered mail to the nearest official TAG Heuer Service
Center, or take it to your local authorized dealer.
You will find a list of Official TAG Heuer Service Centers at the end of this booklet. They will supply

CARING FOR YOUR TAG HEUER WATCH

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.
7

Like any high-quality watch, your TAG Heuer chronograph requires a certain amount of care. The
following guidelines will enable you to ensure your watch's reliability and protect its appearance
over time.
Rinsing. Be sure to rinse your chronograph regularly with fresh water and soap, particularly after
it has been exposed to salt water. For frequent or prolonged use in water we recommend a steel
and/or gold bracelet. Remember your chronograph is only waterproof if the crown is in position 0.
Condensation. If the temperature changes suddenly, a slight condensation may appear under the
crystal of your chronograph. This will soon disappear and will not affect the functioning of your watch.
If the condensation does not disappear, please see your official TAG Heuer dealer.
Pressure seals. Over time, the pressure seals on your chronograph 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 chronograph is fitted with a battery that lasts for approximately two years. However,
you may need to replace it before you have owned the watch for two years because it is installed
before it leaves the factory. When your chronograph is not in use, we recommend selecting CHRONO
mode by simply pressing the crown. With the hands stopped, the service life of the battery is
prolonged.
Gold plating. 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.

Leather straps. 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.

Setting the time

SETTING THE TIME AND DATE
The chronograph has a push button crown with special gaskets that guarantee water-resistance to
300 meters.
The crown has three positions (fig. 2):
– in (position 0)
– neutral (position 1)
– out (position 2)

– When setting the time, the seconds hand indicates the morning (AM at 45’) or the afternoon
(PM at 15’).
– In hour-setting mode, the hour hand moves from one full hour to another. Press A to add one
hour. With each complete revolution of the hour hand, the seconds hand moves automatically
from AM to PM and inversely.
– To move to the minutes-setting mode, press B.
– In minutes-setting mode, the seconds hand is positioned at 30’. Press A to add one minute.
– If the minutes have been changed, the seconds hand will move to zero.
To leave the time-setting mode, push the crown back to position 1. The hour hand will move to its
correct position according to the minutes that have been set.

Turning the crown has no effect, whatever position it is in.
To set the time and date, pull the crown out to position 2.

Setting the date

Note: The time and date can only be set in TIME mode. Pulling out the crown to position 2 in CHRONO
or REGATTA modes has no effect.

The movement is programmed with a perpetual calendar for the period from 1 January 2001 to 31
December 2099. A perpetual calendar automatically changes the date at the end of each month,
including 29 February in leap years.

Using the seconds hand

If you have already set the time, press B to move to date-setting mode.

When setting the time and date, the seconds hand
indicates which element you are setting (hour, AM/PM
minute, year, month, day).
Example: When the seconds hand is at 00.15 you are
setting the hour (afternoon).
