Cal 11 - 12 auto winding system operates both ways . Wind it manually just enough to start - 5to 10 rotations - and let it wind automatically . |

I wouldn't use the auto winding too much - these automatics are fragile and parts are hard to find. If you hold it upside down (i.e. so the crown is on the right) then it winds normally - turning the crown away from you. |
