I have a vintage Omega Constellation Chronometer 1021 Movement. Does anyone know what speed and direction the winder should be set?
Thank you,

Do a site search. There are many threads on using auto winders on vintage movements.

Most collectors do not use winders for vintage watches. But others may have differing opinions

I owned 3 winders before joining OF. I found that 32 rotations - 16 clock and 16 counter clockwise each hour kept my watches on time.

I no longer have them. I think I only have one date window watch and it has a quick set.

My winders (one Wolfe and two Paul Design) only had one speed.

My only watch with a date window.

No, You Don’t Actually Need a Watch Winder — Here’s Why
While some are willing to pay for the convenience, the idea of a watch winder as an essential tool of watch ownership is largely unfounded.

I'd spend my money on something else really unless you have no fingers.
