Welcome, Oris enthusiasts! Have you ever found yourself marveling at your exquisitely crafted Oris watch, only to realize that you’re unsure about the proper winding technique? Worry not, because today’s blog post is here to guide you through the delicate intricacies of winding a Oris watch with precision and care, ensuring its longevity and enhancing its already mesmerizing allure.

How to Wind an Oris Watch Correctly: A Simplified Guide

Identifying Your Watch Type

Oris primarily offers two types of watches: manual wind and self-winding. However, they also produce quartz watches that rely on battery-powered movements for accurate timekeeping. So, despite the prominence of manual wind and self-winding watches in the Oris collection, other options cater to various preferences and needs.

Before attempting to wind your watch, determine its type. Oris manual wind watches need regular winding to maintain power reserve, while self-winding watches can be wound through natural wrist movement or by using a watch winder.

Wearing the Watch Daily

When you wear your Oris watch frequently, your arm’s natural movement winds the watch’s movement, ensuring accurate timekeeping without manual winding.

Manual Winding: Rotating the Crown

If your watch features a threaded crown, make sure to unthread it first. Turn the crown clockwise until you encounter resistance, signifying the completion of the manual winding process. If your watch is a Calibre 400, simply follow the same procedure by turning the crown clockwise until resistance is felt.

Note: Do not change the hour or date between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., the period during which the date changes, as this may result in damage to the movement.

Automatic Winding: Using a Oris Watch Winder

For those with multiple luxury timepieces or without daily wear of their Oris watch, using a watch winder is a practical option. Brands like Mozsly and Wolf provide watch winders that replicate natural wrist motion, maintaining accuracy without damage due to manual winding.

Following these guidelines will help you wind your Oris watch properly, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

How Does an Automatic Watch Winder Work?

Are you unfamiliar with the concept of an automatic watch winder? In simple terms, it is a specialized jewelry box equipped with a motor and microprocessor, designed to actively rotate your watch at regular intervals. This simulated wrist movement keeps your timepiece properly wound.

An automatic watch winder offers various rotation settings, including clockwise only, counterclockwise only, or both directions, depending on the specifications of your watch’s movement. Multi-watch winders even support alternating rotations, enabling the simultaneous winding of multiple watches.

When it comes to automatic watches like those produced by Oris, proper winding is essential for their optimal performance. By using the Oris watch winder, you can ensure that your timepiece remains accurate, eliminates the need for manual winding, and prevents lubricants from drying out.

Most Oris self-winding watches require 650 to 800 revolutions per day, typically wound clockwise. Hence, the majority of watch winders can adequately accommodate the winding needs of Oris watches.

To assist you further, we present the recommended turns per day (TPD) and winding directions for your Oris watch. Familiarizing yourself with these Oris watch winder settings will ensure optimal care for your cherished timepiece.

How to Properly Use and Set the Oris Watch Winder?

If for some reason you don’t have access to your watch’s user guide, here are some more detailed tips to help you set up the Oris watch with your automatic watch winder:

1. Since your winder will not wind a watch that is completely stopped, start by turning the crown 20 to 30 times to manually wind the Oris.
2. Carefully place the watch into the winder, making sure it is fully seated in the holder. Then adjust the TPD to the lowest setting and select bidirectional rotation mode.
3. Turn on the winder. During the next 48 hours or so, periodically check that the watch is still keeping accurate time. Generally speaking, an automatic watch has about 40 hours of reserve time since it is wound. If the time is still correct after two days, then this is the setup for you and you don’t need to experiment anymore.
4. However, if the time is wrong, increment to the next TPD setting and repeat the above process.
5. If the time is correct after two days, you’ve found the correct setting.
6. If the time is wrong, set the winder to turn clockwise only, and repeat the process.
7. If the time is still correct after two days, this is the correct setting for you.
8. If the time is incorrect, set it to rotate counterclockwise only and repeat the process.

Does Oris Recommend using a Watch Winder?

Oris has not explicitly stated whether it recommends the use of watch winders.

Although not endorsed, many professional watchmakers agree that the use of a reliable watch winder from a reputable watch winder brand (e.g. Wolf, Mozsly, Barrington) can effectively wind a Oris automatically. The correct TPD setting is essential to avoid over-winding the movement.

So, to summarize – regular wear is the best option, but a quality watch winder can provide a convenient solution for in-between wearing.

What is the Best Watch Winder for Oris?

If you are considering a watch winder, it is vital that you choose a high quality that meets the specific requirements of your Oris watch. To help you find the best watch winder for Oris, I would like to recommend the following two excellent products:
