Hello,

All of the in-house movements (8500, 8501, 8520, 8521, 8601, 8611, 8602, 8612, 8605, 8615, 9300, 9301) from Omega require to be set on 720 turns per day (TPD). The winding direction being bi-directional. This is what Omega recommends & the same is clearly mentioned on their website.

From my knowledge quality watch winder manufacturers such as Wolf Designs & Orbita don't offer 720 as a programmable setting, but can only be programmed from 600-1200 rotations per day in clockwise, counter clockwise and bi-directional.

Quality replies are expected.

More info on this can be found here : http://www.omegawatches.com/fileadmin/customer_service/calleo/faq/FAQ-watch_winder_EN.pdf

Thanks.

 

I use this Design Hutte winder
http://www.designhuette.com/en/Watc...gnhutte-Watch-Winder-San-Diego-4-DB::712.html

It has a 750 rpd programme.

They also make versions for 1, 2 and 3 watches.

 

I use Wolf Viceroy 2.7 and put both my PO 8500 and Speedmaster 9300 on 500 TPD bi-directional, i.e. 1000. Meanwhile no complaints.

 

Omega recommends 720 TPD. 400 TPD on the wolf 2.7 or module 4.1 would be the closest. Wouldn't 500 be a little more causing the watch to overwind?

 

I use a Wolf Design 3-watch winder. Each watch can be programmed for clockwise, counterclockwise or bi-directional. The turns per day (tpd) can be set from 300 to 1200 in increments of 50, with the bi-directional being double the setting, i.e. 400 tpd = 800 total tpd. I have had no problems with the Breitling and 2 Omegas with a setting of 400 bi-directional.

 

I want it to be winded for sure. There is no such thing in modern watches like overwind.

 

I already knew that....should have gave it a little thought before asking you. Again, Why set it at 500 TPD when 400 is the closest to Omega's recommendation?

 

I wouldn't set it at 500 tpd if 400 is the recommendation, unless it turns out that the watch was running slow when left in the winder for an extended period. I found that my Omega Chronograph had to have 600 tpd (1200 bi-directional) in order to maintain correct time. Depends on the watch. My Breitling does fine at 300 tpd. Each watch is different.

 

These are the two databases I use:

Sorry, but you're wrong. I have no experience with other winders but on Wolf you should multiply the number on the screen to 2 if you set it bi-directional.

 

You dwell in me doubts, and I once again turned to the instructions Here is a quote:
"What are the rotational options for the module 2.7?

Rotation speed settings range from 300 to 1200 turns per day; double the TPD if set on bidirectional. "
From here.

 

I appreciate your interest in the thread, but that question was to Alex.

 

Ash, you're wrong. More info here : http://www.wolfdesigns.com/item/456902/viceroy/

 

I'm surprised! You should probably notify WD on this.

 

It maybe an overkill but I read in some Whatchuseek forum threads about the problems with the lack of winding for 9300 movement. So I put more.
