Hi there i have bought a second hand tag heuer carrera tachymeter,i dont have a user manual,but cant seem to get the chronograph functions to work ?

  • wcolin1 Sep 21, 2009

    Thank you for your help i have tried your suggestions and yes the sweep arm stops when the crown is set to first position,pressing start button makes the hand in the small central dial jump round a quarter turn and pressing the stop button does the same but to the top central dial,should one of these inner dials not have a sweep hand of its own ? i think perhaps i should buy a user manual !!!

Great watch! Operation should be pretty straight forward. The top button starts the chrono and stops it. The bottom button resets it. To calibrate the sweep arm into the right position pull the crown out to the first or second set position and press the start button until the sweep arm is in the start position you desire. This is typically 12:00 or 0.
If your chrono is not working then have the battery checked. If the battery has been recently replaced then make sure the watch doesn't need to be cleared.
I recommend you take this to a watch maker/technician who will be familiar with the service requirements of this model including resealing and pressure testing the watch to be sure it is sealed to its marked water resistance specifications.

Thanks!

My tag heuer carrera stop watch doesnt reset properly, when u reset the stopwatch it goes one minute behind and doesnt reset to zero. how do i fix this. it never resets to zero and the red hands on the sub...

Try this.

Pull the winder out fully. Then press the top right chronograph button to move the centre seconds hand on. Then push the winder back in.

on some models you should only pull the winder half way out.

good luck

I need users manual of tag huer grand carrera cav 511b model

I couldn't find your model on their web site but should think that all the models in the same range should operate in a similar manner, so if you go to http://www.tagheuer.com/the-collection/carrera/men/automatic-chronograph-tachymetre/index.lbl?w=CV2010.BA0786, you will see "user manual" in the menu on the right hand side of the screen.

I don't know how to get the dials to work. what do they do? how they do it?

You can find the instructions on the Tag wed site (www.tagheuer.com), select "watches" then "Carrera"
then "man" and then the model of your watch.

On the right of the page is a small menu,select "user manual". (The laptimer model does not have any instructions but if this is the one you have, try the other models to give you an indication of the dial functions).
