Hi Johar,
I will advise you to contact your manufacturer to avoid warranty void due to damage during the process of setting it. Try the link below.

If you go to http://www.tagheuer.com/the-collection/tag-heuer-formula-1/men/quartz-chronograph/index.lbl?w=CAH1110.BA0850 , you will see a menu on the right of the screen.

Clcik on "user manual" to download the manual for your watch.

There are no instructions about setting the date apart from saying the date changes at midnight but you can advance the date by winding it past midnight. If you want to advance it more than one day, wind it back and then forward past midnight again. Repeat as many times as required until you reach the date you need.

How far back you need to wind the watch you will have to find by eaperimenting and observing when the date changes. You might hear a soft "click" when winding it backward, you can the wind it forward again.

Your TAG Heuer chronograph is fitted
with a screw-in crown and safety seals
which guarantee it to be waterproof
to 200 m (660 ft).
Position 0: Crown is screwed in
(normal position).
Important: The crown must be
screwed in correctly to guarantee
the water-resistance of the watch.
Position 1: Crown unscrewed.
To change the hour (change of time
zone) or date quickly, unscrew the
crown, pull it out to position 2 (quick
corrector) and turn it in either
direction. This mode allows you to
change the hour and the date without
any loss of minutes.
The date changes each time the
hour-hand passes midnight.
To set the time, unscrew the crown,
pull it out to position 3 (setting the
time) and turn it in either direction.
After setting the date or the
time, push the crown back and
screw in to position 0.

This could be caused by a couple of things. To fix this would require a qualified watchmaker to repair. The watch will need to be taken apart and the dial and hands will need to be removed to repair this problem.

Normally when we see this problem one of the wheels needs replacing. This can be caused by manually changing the date near midnight.

Let us know if we can help more.

The watch is set-up for a 24 hour cycle. It sounds like your watch is 12 hours late, so if you just advance the time 12 hours ahead, everything should be solved.

if it has hands the winder will be screwed in undo this anti clockwise then click it out once for date twice for time, if this helps please rate me joe

Hi Dude, it's one of those things your going to cuss once you know. Just unscrew the Bezel.Thats it. Steve
