TAG Heuer Link 36mm Men's Watch

Q: What size is this watch, and how does it wear?
A: This watch has a 36 mm case and a bracelet that fits a wrist of 18 cm or smaller. It wears as a refined vintage sports watch, making it a strong choice if you prefer a neater, less oversized look on the wrist.

Q: Is this a TAG Heuer Link model or an earlier S/el model?
A: Reference S94.706M belongs to TAG Heuer’s S/el line, which was later renamed the Link collection in 1999. That is why this watch is often described as a vintage TAG Heuer Link-style piece.

Q: What movement does it use?
A: This watch is powered by a quartz movement, so it runs on a battery rather than an automatic movement. Quartz watches are popular for their dependable accuracy and straightforward day-to-day use.

Q: Does it have a sapphire crystal?
A: Yes, this watch features a sapphire crystal. Sapphire is highly scratch resistant compared with standard mineral glass, although no crystal is completely scratch proof.

Q: Can I wear this watch in water?
A: The S/el family was designed as a 200 metre sports watch, but with any vintage watch, water resistance should not be assumed without a recent pressure test. If you plan to wear it around water, it is wise to have the seals and water resistance checked first.

Q: Can the bracelet be resized?
A: Yes, the bracelet can be resized, but older S/el and Link bracelets are less straightforward than standard pin bracelets and may require specialist handling. It is best resized by an experienced watchmaker or authorised service centre. This particular bracelet currently fits a wrist of 18 cm or smaller.

Q: What condition is this watch in?
A: The external and internal condition are listed as very good. Please note there are scratches on the case and bracelet, which is consistent with careful wear on a vintage piece and is reflected in the condition description.

Q: What comes with the watch?
A: This piece is sold with no additional product information. If an original box, papers or other extras are not listed on the product page, they are not included.

Q: How should I care for this watch?
A: Clean the case and bracelet gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoid direct contact with perfumes, detergents and other chemicals. It is also best to keep the watch away from strong magnets, extreme heat and prolonged direct sunlight. If the battery runs down, arrange replacement promptly.

Q: Is there anything important to know when setting the date?
A: Yes. As with TAG Heuer quartz watches, it is best to avoid changing the date between 9.30 pm and 3 am, as this can put unnecessary stress on the calendar mechanism.
