TAG Heuer watches are water resistant to a certain extent, with each model offering varying levels of resistance. Always check the water resistance of your watch before introducing it to water.
The water-resistant features on your TAG Heuer watch are designed to keep it operating seamlessly in water.. Helium-release valves are available on 500 metre models and are designed to automatically activate when the difference between inner and outer water pressure reaches a critical level. The helium is released as it can damage a watch by popping the crystal.
When getting into the water with your TAG Heuer timepiece, take the following precautions:
* Doublecheck the water resistance of your TAG Heuer watch and ensure that it has been tested within the last year.
* Make sure the crown of your TAG Heuer watch is fully pushed in or screwed down, depending on the model.
* Only TAG Heuer watches with metal or rubber straps should be worn in water as leather straps can become deformed or discoloured.
* After exposure to salt water, rinse your TAG Heuer timepiece in fresh water before drying it.
