FAQ
Q: Is this a genuine TAG Heuer Formula 1 watch?
A: Yes, absolutely. At Cassim & Co., every pre-owned timepiece undergoes rigorous authentication and inspection by our certified watchmakers to guarantee authenticity. This CAZ1010.BA0842 is a genuine TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph sourced through authorised channels.
Q: What is the difference between quartz and automatic movements?
A: This Formula 1 features a Swiss quartz movement, which is battery-powered and offers superior accuracy (typically ±15 seconds per year) compared to automatic movements. Quartz chronographs require minimal maintenance—just a battery replacement every 2-3 years—and are ideal for those who value precision and practicality.
Q: Can I swim or dive with this watch?
A: Yes, with 200 metres of water resistance, this Formula 1 is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational diving. However, the chronograph pushers should not be operated underwater, and we recommend having the water resistance tested annually if you regularly expose the watch to water.
Q: How do I use the tachymeter bezel?
A: The tachymeter scale on the bezel allows you to measure average speed over a known distance. Start the chronograph at the beginning of a measured kilometre, stop it at the end, and the chronograph seconds hand will point to your average speed in kilometres per hour on the tachymeter scale.
Q: Does this pre-owned watch come with the original box and papers?
A: Pre-owned watch accessories vary by piece. Please contact our team directly or visit our Mall of the South boutique to confirm exactly what is included with this specific CAZ1010.BA0842. We always disclose the complete contents prior to purchase.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, our in-house watchmakers provide complimentary bracelet sizing with every purchase. We will ensure the perfect fit before you leave our boutique, or if ordering online, we include detailed instructions and can arrange professional sizing at our store.
Q: What warranty coverage comes with this pre-owned TAG Heuer?
A: This watch includes a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover normal wear, battery replacement, accidental damage, or water damage due to misuse. As an authorised retailer, we ensure your warranty is fully valid and honoured globally.

Care Guide
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove perspiration, dust, and oils. For deeper cleaning of the stainless steel bracelet, use warm soapy water and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly.
- Water Resistance Maintenance: Have the water resistance tested annually, especially if you regularly expose the watch to water. Never operate the chronograph pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Crown Position: Ensure the crown is always pushed fully in against the case to maintain water resistance. After setting the time or date, press the crown firmly back to its normal position.
- Chronograph Use: Avoid leaving the chronograph running continuously for extended periods, as this can accelerate battery drain. Reset the chronograph to zero when not timing to preserve battery life.
- Battery Replacement: When the seconds hand begins jumping in 4-second intervals (end-of-life indicator), have the battery replaced promptly by a qualified watchmaker. Cassim & Co. offers professional battery replacement services to maintain your watch's water resistance seals.
- Avoid Impacts: While built for durability, avoid subjecting your watch to severe shocks or impacts that could damage the quartz movement or case.
- Storage: When not wearing your Formula 1, store it in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields (speakers, tablets, magnetic clasps) and extreme temperatures.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend a complete service every 4-5 years to ensure optimal performance, including gasket replacement, case refinishing if desired, and movement inspection.
