Guys I have a Headwind with a Caliber B45 movm't. Does Breitling have a chart some place that suggest how many turns is needed when using a winder and also in what direction?

Thanks so much!

Thanks!

I saw this site too but it seems they only suggest 650 - 800 turns and that is specific to how THEIR winders operate. I have a Monaco Designs winder (www.monacodesigns.com) and it does 512, 769, 1025 per day. All winders have their own turn differences.

So what does Breitling say, not so much the watch winder companies?

Also if it is in fact 650 turns that is on the Orbita site and Breitling agrees should I go lower at 512, or higher at 769 to use my specific winder?

Thanks all. Just trying to keep my mvm't safe...

I'd choose higher, because you can't over wind an Auto.

Agree. I'd choose higher and make sure you have it set for both directions. The additional turns won't harm the watch.
