FAQ
Q: Is this TAG Heuer Formula 1 watch authentic?
A: Yes, absolutely. All pre-owned watches at Cassim & Co. are thoroughly authenticated by our experienced horologists. This TAG Heuer Formula 1 has been inspected for authenticity, functionality, and condition before being offered for sale.
Q: What is the advantage of a quartz chronograph over an automatic?
A: Quartz movements offer superior accuracy (typically +/- 15 seconds per month versus +/- 6 seconds per day for automatics) and require less maintenance. They do not need winding and are more shock-resistant, making them ideal for active sports use. Battery replacement is typically required every 2-3 years.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and water sports?
A: With 200 metres of water resistance, this Formula 1 chronograph is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational diving. However, the chronograph pushers and crown should never be operated underwater, and the watch should be rinsed with fresh water after exposure to salt water.
Q: Can the rubber strap be replaced with a different style?
A: Yes, the strap can be changed to another compatible TAG Heuer strap or a third-party option with the correct lug width. Our team at Mall of the South can assist with strap replacements and recommendations to suit your style preferences.
Q: How do I use the tachymetre bezel on this watch?
A: The tachymetre scale is used to calculate average speed over a known distance. Start the chronograph as an object passes the start point, then stop it when it crosses the finish line (typically one kilometre or mile). The chronograph seconds hand will point to your average speed on the tachymetre scale.
Q: Does this pre-owned watch come with the original box and papers?
A: Inclusion of original box and papers varies by pre-owned piece. Please contact us directly or visit our Mall of the South boutique to confirm what accessories accompany this specific watch. All pre-owned timepieces come with our authentication guarantee regardless of original packaging.
Q: Will the battery need replacing soon?
A: Each pre-owned quartz watch is fitted with a fresh battery before sale where necessary. If your watch requires a battery replacement in the future, our servicing team can handle this quickly and professionally, with genuine battery cells to ensure optimal performance.
Warranty
- This pre-owned TAG Heuer Formula 1 watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including but not limited to: scratches, dents, strap deterioration, or crystal damage caused by impact.
- Battery replacement, routine maintenance, and cosmetic refinishing are not covered under warranty.
- Water damage resulting from improper use (such as operating pushers underwater, failure to have gaskets serviced, or exceeding stated water resistance) is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Damage resulting from accidents, misuse, unauthorised modifications, or repairs performed by non-authorised service centres will void the warranty.
- To maintain warranty validity, any required repairs must be carried out by TAG Heuer authorised service centres. Cassim & Co. can facilitate warranty claims and coordinate with TAG Heuer service networks.

Care Guide
- Keep your TAG Heuer Formula 1 clean by wiping the case and strap with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wear, especially after exposure to salt water, chlorine, or perspiration.
- Rinse the watch under lukewarm fresh water after ocean swimming to remove salt deposits, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown while the watch is wet or underwater, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Have the water resistance tested annually if you use the watch regularly for water sports. Gaskets and seals degrade over time and should be replaced during routine servicing.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Prolonged UV exposure can fade the rubber strap.
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including solvents, detergents, and perfumes.
- The rubber strap should be cleaned regularly with mild soap and water to prevent deterioration. Rubber straps are wear items and may require replacement every few years depending on use.
- Quartz watches require battery replacement every 2-3 years. When the seconds hand begins jumping in 4-second intervals, this indicates low battery. Replace promptly to avoid potential leakage damage.
- Have your watch professionally serviced every 4-5 years to ensure optimal performance, including movement inspection, gasket replacement, and water resistance testing.
- When not wearing your watch for extended periods, ensure it is stored in a low-humidity environment to prevent condensation inside the case.
