Omega Watch Winder Settings

For Omega watches, the recommended watch winder settings generally fall within the same standard range for most automatic models:

Turns Per Day (TPD): Start at 650 TPD, which can be increased up to 800 TPD if needed based on the watch's performance and power reserve maintenance.
Omega Watch Winding Direction: Use a bidirectional (both clockwise and counterclockwise) winding setting.

This advice applies across major Omega series including Seamaster, Speedmaster, Constellation, De Ville, Aqua Terra, Planet Ocean, and Globemaster because they are all fitted with Co-Axial automatic movements designed to wind efficiently in both directions.

How to Set Your Omega Watch Winder:

Manually wind your watch by turning the crown 20-30 times to prime it.
Place the watch in the winder set to bidirectional mode.
Start with 650 TPD and run the winder for about 48 hours.
Check the watch's accuracy and power reserve status.
If the watch loses power or accuracy, increase TPD incrementally (e.g., 700 or 750) up to a maximum of about 800 TPD, repeating the test.

Some discussions and user reports have indicated that certain Omega calibers, like the Speedmaster 9900, may tolerate slightly higher TPD (close to 990), but the safe and common standard remains 650-800 TPD bidirectional for most models.

Additional Notes:

Overwinding is generally not a risk because modern Omega movements have a mechanism that prevents overwinding once fully wound.
If your winder allows, choose combined (both directions) winding mode to mimic natural wrist movement.
Always refer to your watch's official manual or Omega customer service for model-specific recommendations when possible.

This setup ensures your Omega automatic watch maintains accurate timekeeping and is ready to wear at any moment.
