Dumb question. Posted By: Al [Date: 12/21/04 15:50 GMT]

Hi,

Sorry I know it's a TAG, but can anyone tell me if the new model Carrera Chrono (Cal 17 movement I think, the one with the 3 sub dials) has a quick date function? I just bough one and when I pull the crown out the the first position nothing happens, the second position changes the time.

TAG queries are welcomed here...

From TAG-Heuer's site:

Calibre 17

Calibre 2894-2 ETA, Swiss Made

Authentic calibre

Diameter 28 mm (12 1/2 ''')

37 jewels

Rapid date correction

Performance

Oscillating balance at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations an hour (4 Hz)

Power reserve: roughly 42 hours

Certification

Also available in certified COSC chronograph version

Display

Chronograph 2/3 timers minutes - hours

Decor

Oscillating weight engraved "TAG Heuer - Calibre 17 - Swiss Made" or

Oscillating weight engraved "TAG Heuer - Calibre 17 - Chronometer Swiss Made"

It would seem so... Doesn't your instruction manual detail it's use? If it doesn't appear to have one then the watch is broken, needs adjustment, or ???

I bought it from Authentic Watches.com as it saved me £700 on the new UK price, but before I go back to them I wanted to check if it's suupose to have a quick set.

I don't know if I'd trust Authentic Watches.com ... I mean they can't even get the base movement for the Calibre 16 correct (They have it listed as a 37 Jewel ETA 2894-2, when it's a 25 Jewel ETA(Valjoux) 7750 clearly listed on tagheuer.com) If they can't get something that simple correct... who knows what else they are making up?

Thanks in advance and merry xmas.

Al.
