Welcome, Tudor watch enthusiasts! If you’re the proud owner of a stunning Tudor watch, then you’ll know that keeping your watch wound correctly is crucial to its accuracy and longevity. In this engaging blog post, we’re going to dive deeper into winding a Tudor watch to ensure your watch stays in tip-top shape.

Whether you’re new to luxury watches or a seasoned collector, it’s crucial to understand the proper way to wind a Tudor watch. In addition, we will explore how to wind different Tudor models and movements. By following these instructions, you can effectively use a watch winder to keep your Tudor watch in great condition.

How to Properly Wind a Tudor Watch: A Simple Guide

Familiarize Yourself with Your Watch’s Type

Tudor watches come in two primary types: manual-wind and self-winding (automatic). It is vital to know which type you own before attempting to wind it. Manually wound watches require regular winding to maintain their power reserve, while automatic watches only need occasional winding if they aren’t worn regularly or do not receive enough motion while being worn.

1. Everyday Wear Watch

For those who wear their Tudor watch regularly, everyday wear naturally helps to wind the watch’s movement due to arm movement. This ensures that the Tudor watch consistently keeps accurate time without requiring manual intervention.

2. Manual-Winding: Turning the Crown

To manually wind your Tudor watch, locate the crown and rotate it clockwise 30 to 40 times. Stop as soon as you feel resistance to avoid overwinding — this is important, as overwinding can potentially damage your watch. 

3. Automatic Winding: Using the Tudor Watch Winder

Utilizing a Tudor watch winder is another practical solution for those with multiple luxury timepieces or when a Tudor is not worn daily. Mozsly watch winder and Wolf watch winder provide accurate simulations of natural wrist movement to preserve accuracy without risking damage from manual handling.

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 Tudor, proper winding is essential for their optimal performance. By using a watch winder, you can ensure that your Tudor timepiece remains accurate, eliminates the need for manual winding, and prevents lubricants from drying out.

Most Tudor 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 Tudor watches.

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

How to Properly Use and Set the Tudor Watch Winder

If for some reason you don’t have access to your watch’s user guide, or you just want to try it out, here are some more detailed tips to help you set up watch with your Tudor 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 Tudor watch.
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 Tudor Recommend using a Watch Winder?

Tudor 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 Tudor 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.
