This pre-owned timepiece exemplifies TAG Heuer's commitment to creating professional-grade dive watches with a distinctive Grande Date complication at 12 o'clock, offering enhanced legibility that sets it apart from standard three-hand configurations. The pristine white dial, protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, provides exceptional contrast against the polished and brushed stainless steel case and integrated bracelet, ensuring optimal readability in all conditions.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorinated pool water to prevent corrosion and crystal deposits on seals.
- Ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any water exposure to maintain the 300-metre water resistance rating.
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet periodically with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, using a soft brush for hard-to-reach areas between links.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature variations, strong magnetic fields, or direct impacts that could affect movement accuracy.
- Have the water resistance tested annually if you regularly use the watch for diving or water sports activities.
- Replace the battery promptly when the seconds hand begins jumping in 4-second intervals (end-of-life indicator) to prevent potential leakage damage.
- When replacing the battery, always have gaskets inspected and replaced if necessary to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight when not wearing it for extended periods.
- Avoid operating the crown or bezel underwater, as this can compromise water resistance seals.
- Have the watch professionally serviced every 4-5 years to maintain optimal performance and water resistance.
