Hi All

I have three omega watches, two modern and one vintage.

I have the following:
omega seamaster 2254.50 caliber 1120 (2010)
omega speedmaster mark ii caliber 3330 (2014)
omega speedmaster mark iv caliber 1040 (1974)

I would like to get some automatic winders for my watches. I can see that I need a clockwise winder for the modern watches, but I am getting mixed information for my dad's 1974 watch. I think I need a bidirectional winder that winds at 900 cycles per day.

is this correct?

does anyone have any ideas about the best winder to get for the seamaster/ speedmaster/ speedmaster mark iv?

is there any one winder that will do the job for all of them?

the one I care most about is my dad's speedmaster mark iv. The others I can get a winder off amazon, or simply alternate on my wrist.

could anyone help me please? My dad's watch is sitting in a cradle, and I don't want to wear it that much - only on special occasions, I would really like to get a winder for it.

Paul.

 

Go to the Orbita website. They have tables with winding specs. As far as a brand is concerned. Do your research. Don't buy crap but don't overspend either. You want programmable with a decent number of settings and QUIET!!!!!

Remember that leaving a watch in a winder is like leaving your car running in the garage.

 

I'm a noobie here myself, but have a Wolf winder and its great. Bidirectional at 900/day. Can find the individual ones on amazon for under $100.

 

Honestly I stopped using them. I just set them when I wear them.

That a main reason why collectors don't like date windows. Sure they say it unbalanced the watch...

 

Me too. I have a closet full of winders.

 

Bought this, works great.

Have 2 watches in there whenever I am not wearing them. Having time delay is nice feature.

My dad bought this one and likes it: https://www.amazon.com/Berkshire-Classic-Automatic-Setting-Adaptor/dp/B00ROCH6TK

 

Ive had 2 of these for over 3 years and love them

Hi,
I used to have Beco Boxy winders. Very reliable and quiet. You can extend them if required and put them on a base plate.
But I stopped using them simply because I wanted to avoid having the watches run even while not wearing them.



I've made myself a cover to hide the batteries because I didn't want to have a power cord "visible".


But I sold all this and now I just set & wind the watch only when I want to wear them.

Why would you have that speedy in the watch winder?

Go for Orbita...Gread watchwinders...

 

Simply because it was the Speedy Co-Axial Chronograph.
I knew someone was going to ask



Cheers

I knew it was, just messing around)))

Ahh...come on. You didn't know that, did you
It is really a beautiful piece. But I sold it.
I bought & sold quite a few watches during the past 10 years and I am cool with that. Except for this one. I really regret to have it sold.

Best regards from Germany.
