How to wind a TAG Heuer manually

If you have a manually-wound TAG Heuer watch, you have to wind it daily to keep it running accurately. Follow these steps:

Locate the crown: The winding crown is positioned on the right side of the watch.
Turn the crown: Rotate the crown clockwise until you feel resistance. Avoid over-winding to prevent damage.
Ensure proper function: Once resistance is felt, the watch is fully wound and ready to wear.

Winding an automatic TAG Heuer

Automatic TAG Heuer watches, such as the Aquaracer Calibre 5, self-wind through the movement of your wrist. However, if you haven’t worn your watch for a couple of days and it has stopped, you must wind it manually. Here’s how:

Unscrew the crown: Turn the crown counterclockwise to release it from the case.
Rotate the crown: Turn it clockwise 40 times (or 100 times for the V4 model) to provide enough power reserve.
Secure the crown: Screw the crown back down to maintain water resistance.

Power reserve and daily wear

TAG Heuer automatic watches generally have a power reserve of 38 to 72 hours, depending on the model. Wearing your watch regularly will ensure it remains wound, while a watch winder can be used if you don’t wear it daily.

If you need more details about your specific model, you can refer to your TAG Heuer manual or visit an authorized retailer.
