FAQ
Q: What does Calibre 5 mean in TAG Heuer watches?
A: Calibre 5 is TAG Heuer's designation for their Swiss automatic movement based on the reliable ETA 2824-2 or Sellita SW200-1. It's a workhorse movement known for accuracy and durability, offering approximately 38 hours of power reserve and requiring no battery—it winds automatically through the natural motion of your wrist.
Q: Is this watch suitable for actual diving?
A: Yes, with 300-metre water resistance and a unidirectional rotating bezel, this Aquaracer is a genuine dive instrument meeting ISO 6425 standards (typical for the collection). The screw-down crown and robust case construction ensure watertight integrity. However, as this is a pre-owned timepiece, we recommend having the gaskets inspected before any serious aquatic activity.
Q: How do I wind and set an automatic watch?
A: If the watch has stopped, unscrew the crown (turn counter-clockwise) and gently wind it clockwise 20-30 turns to give the movement initial power. Pull the crown to the second position to set the time. Always set the time forwards, never backwards, and avoid adjusting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM when the mechanism is engaged. Push the crown in fully and screw it down tightly to maintain water resistance.
Q: Will this watch fit my wrist?
A: The stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized to fit most wrist circumferences. Our team can remove or add links during your visit to our boutique or after purchase. Contact us if you'd like to discuss sizing before purchasing, or visit us in-store for a personal fitting.
Q: What is the difference between pre-owned and new TAG Heuer watches?
A: This pre-owned Aquaracer has been previously worn but has been authenticated, inspected, and serviced by our team. It offers exceptional value compared to new retail pricing while delivering the same Swiss engineering and design. All mechanical functions are guaranteed through our 6-month dealer warranty. Some light signs of previous wear may be present, consistent with its pre-owned status.
Q: How often does an automatic watch need servicing?
A: Automatic movements typically require professional servicing every 5-7 years to maintain optimal performance. This involves disassembly, cleaning, lubrication, and regulation. Our watch servicing team can assess your timepiece and recommend appropriate maintenance intervals based on its condition and usage patterns.
Q: Can I wear this watch daily?
A: Absolutely. The Aquaracer's robust construction, sapphire crystal, and 300-metre water resistance make it an excellent everyday companion. The automatic movement will stay wound through normal daily wear. If you alternate between watches, consider a watch winder to keep it running when not on your wrist.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your TAG Heuer to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or impacts that could affect the movement's precision.
- Water Resistance: Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorine. Never operate the crown or buttons while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Crown Care: Always ensure the screw-down crown is fully tightened after setting the time or date. Check periodically that it hasn't loosened during wear.
- Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft cloth. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and mild soap with a soft brush, then dry thoroughly.
- Bracelet Maintenance: Periodically check that bracelet screws are secure. If links feel loose or the bracelet shows wear, have it inspected by a professional.
- Movement Care: If you don't wear the watch daily, wind it gently every few days to keep the lubricants distributed evenly throughout the movement.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnets (speakers, magnetic clasps, tablets) as these can affect timekeeping accuracy. If you suspect magnetisation, our servicing team can demagnetise it.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A watch box or pouch will protect it from dust and scratches.
- Gasket Inspection: Water-resistance gaskets degrade over time. Have them inspected and replaced during regular servicing, especially before any diving or water sports.
- Professional Servicing: Schedule professional maintenance every 5-7 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your automatic movement.
