Owning a Tudor watch is about embracing robust craftsmanship, heritage-inspired design, and cutting-edge reliability. Whether it’s the adventurous Black Bay, the refined Glamour, or the high-performance Pelagos, each Tudor timepiece is built for precision and durability. To keep your watch performing at its best, proper winding is essential. Whether you own a self-winding or manual Tudor, following the correct winding process ensures accuracy, longevity, and a seamless experience - just as Tudor’s watchmaking legacy intends.
Most Tudor watches are equipped with a self-winding mechanical movement, meaning they wind themselves through the natural motion of your wrist. The rotor inside the watch oscillates as you move, storing energy in the mainspring to keep it running smoothly. However, if the watch remains unworn for an extended period, the power reserve depletes, requiring manual winding.
If your Tudor watch has stopped because of inactivity, follow these steps to wind it manually:
Tudor’s in-house calibers, such as the MT5612 and MT5402, offer power reserves of 70 hours. This means that with regular wear, your watch will stay wound without manual intervention. If you don’t wear it for extended periods of time, occasional manual winding or a watch winder is recommended.
Do not over-wind your Tudor watch, avoid winding it while wearing it to prevent unnecessary pressure, store it properly to maintain longevity and service it regularly every 3-5 years. By following these simple yet effective steps for winding a Tudor watch, you can maintain its precision, reliability, and timeless elegance for years to come.
