Winder Question

Brez · **Posted:** Tue Dec 27, 2011 2:26 pm

My wife got me a Berkeley single watch winder for Christmas. My question is, what number of TPD should I use with my calibre 01 movement?

My choices are 650, 950, 1100 and 1350. So far I've used 650 and 950.

Thanks in advance.

This link may be helpful. Not sure of the tpd required but the 950 Will be more that enough long as it have rest periods. It winds both directions btw.

Thanks, unfortunately the link provided didn't work. Yes it does wind both ways, and I mostly put it on the winder for the overnight. I did notice that the winder turns for a couple of minutes then stops for 20 or so and repeats all night.

It is extremely quiet, as it sits beside my head on my night table and I can't hear it start/stop or run!! Large viewing window so it really shows off my TO!

All movements can be found here - http://www.orbita.net/NEW/Database-Br-Bz.htm

The 01 is 800 TPD, but I have my winders set on either 700 or 750 nd have never had a problem. Then again, I wear the Navi 01 frequently. :oops:

Try 650 and if that doesn't keep it wound, go to 950. I'd wager you won't have a problem at 650. Maybe give it a wind every so often. Not a big deal.

Thanks. I actually re-read the winder specs and I have the choice of TPD of 650/750/850/1000. Since I heard most here talk about 850 for their 48 hrs movement , I figured 750 for my 70 hrs should work! Thanks for. Confirming the 750 TPD! I'll try that for a while and see if it's enought!

Nice, is this only for Orbita winders or its the same in all winders in general. ( I just purchased a brrokstone winder for my B01).

Any winder. It is simply the number of rotations (turns) of the rotor per day.

Hi guys. I just bought a wolf designs watch winder the instructions mention that if it is set on a bi- directional setting the actual number of rotations is double the TPD. I have a navi 01, and according to the orbits website it needs a bi directional wind at 800 TPD. But as my watch winder will double the rotations, so thus making it 1600 rotations in the day. Should I set it at 400 TPD so allowing 800 rotations?

Yes, but that's a weird way for the winder to count turns.

You can also set it to 800 tpd clockwise or 800 tpd anti-clockwise. Bi-dirctional simply means either, it doesn't require both.
