At TUDOR, we understand the artistry and precision behind self-winding mechanical watches. Your TUDOR watch is not just a timekeeping device; it's a masterpiece of engineering, designed to captivate with its timeless elegance and superior functionality. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the intricate world of winding a mechanical watch, specifically focusing on your TUDOR timepiece. Follow our expert tips and master the art of self-winding to ensure your watch runs smoothly and accurately for years to come.
Understanding the Self-Winding Mechanism
TUDOR watches, including yours, are equipped with a self-winding mechanical movement, a marvel of craftsmanship that allows the watch to wind itself while adorning your wrist. This mechanism harnesses the natural motion of your arm to power the watch, eliminating the need for batteries or manual winding. The intricate gears and springs inside your TUDOR watch work harmoniously, translating your movements into stored energy, ensuring the watch stays operational without interruption.
Wearing Your TUDOR Watch Regularly
One of the simplest yet most effective ways to keep your TUDOR watch in optimal condition is to wear it regularly. As you move your wrist throughout the day, the rotor inside the watch oscillates, winding the mainspring. This continuous motion ensures a steady supply of energy, keeping your watch running smoothly and accurately. Embrace the elegance of your TUDOR timepiece as a part of your daily attire, and let it accompany you on various occasions, allowing it to wind itself effortlessly.
The Importance of Daily Wear
While TUDOR watches are renowned for their durability, it is essential to wear your timepiece daily to maintain its self-winding mechanism. Regular wear prevents the lubricants inside the watch from congealing, ensuring the gears move freely and reducing the risk of friction-related issues. Moreover, wearing your TUDOR watch regularly enhances its longevity, preserving its exquisite craftsmanship for generations to come.
Proper Storage and Maintenance
When you're not wearing your TUDOR watch, store it in a watch box or case specifically designed to protect mechanical timepieces. Ensure the watch is placed in a horizontal position, allowing the rotor to move freely and wind the watch naturally. Additionally, consider investing in a watch winder, a device that simulates wrist movements, ensuring your TUDOR watch remains wound, even when not in use for an extended period.
Avoid Overwinding: A Common Misconception
Contrary to popular belief, self-winding watches, including TUDOR timepieces, are designed with a built-in mechanism that prevents overwinding. The winding system disengages once the mainspring is fully wound, ensuring you cannot overwind your watch accidentally. Therefore, wear your TUDOR watch with confidence, knowing that the self-winding mechanism is engineered to handle your daily activities without the risk of damage.
Conclusion: Embrace the Timeless Elegance of TUDOR
In summary, mastering the art of self-winding with your TUDOR watch is both effortless and rewarding. By wearing your timepiece regularly, storing it correctly, and understanding the intricacies of its self-winding mechanism, you ensure your TUDOR watch remains a symbol of sophistication and precision. Embrace the elegance of TUDOR, and let your watch accompany you on every journey, winding itself gracefully with your every move. Experience the seamless fusion of style and innovation with TUDOR, and enjoy the exquisite craftsmanship that defines our legacy.
HOW TO WIND TUDOR WATCHES? YOUR TUDOR WATCH IS EQUIPPED WITH A SELF-WINDING MECHANICAL MOVEMENT, MEANING IT WINDS ITSELF WHILE WORN ON THE WRIST. IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN WEARING IT FOR A WHILE AND IT HAS STOPPED, YOU SHOULD WIND IT MANUALLY FULLY BEFORE YOU START WEARING IT AGAIN TO ENSURE THE BEST POSSIBLE PRECISION.

If you have a manual watch, it needs regular winding by turning the crown. Automatic watches, on the other hand, wind themselves as you move. However, if they aren't worn for an extended period, they can stop. Try winding your watch or wearing it for a day to see if it starts ticking again.
Automatic watches, also known as self-winding watches, are powered by the movement of the wearer's wrist. However, they also have a hand-winding mechanism that allows the watch to be wound manually if it is not being worn or if the movement of the wearer's wrist is not sufficient to keep the watch running.
Self-winding: The mainspring of the watch becomes fully wound when the watch is worn for twelve hours per day for three to five consecutive days. Manual-winding: It is possible to wind up for appropriately 10 hours by rotating the crown 5 times.
When the wearer moves their hand while wearing the automatic timepiece on their wrist, the inner rotor/ oscillating weight spins, transferring energy to the mainspring of the watch. The mainspring stores the energy and gently redistributes it to power the seconds, minutes, and hour hand of the watch.
Instructions for winding your mechanical automatic watch
It is best to wind the watch by rotating the crown when it is closest to the case, “fully closed.” Winding is best achieved by winding /rotating the crown in a clockwise direction only.
Unlike manual watches, automatic watches have mechanisms that prevent overwinding. However, excessive and unnecessary winding can cause wear and tear on the winding mechanism.
1 - Take off your watch and hold it in your hand to be able to wind it with the other. Never wind your watch while wearing it, as this exerts a force on the winding stem and crown. ...
2 - Turn the crown clockwise. ...
3 - Winding is complete when the crown locks in place.
It is likely because you're not wearing or winding the watch enough. Automatic watches gain power from manually winding it, or from the automatic winding that occurs from your motion while you are active while wearing it. So simply put, if you're not wearing it, your power reserve will run out.
Unfortunately, your Rolex may not start working even after it has been wound. This may be caused by a broken spring or defective gear within the watch. If your Rolex does not begin working after it has been wound, you should bring it in to get it serviced or repaired.
When the movement becomes dirty or dry, it can affect the lubrication between the components and cause friction, which can slow down or even stop the watch altogether. In this instance, the best course of action is to have your mechanical watch serviced.
It is also worthwhile noting that you cannot overwind an automatic watch so you do not have to worry if you wind a few extra times or store in the winder for a long period of time. There is no set amount of times a week that you will have to wind your watch; it all depends on your movement.
The watch is powered by Tudor's in-house developed calibre MT5652, an automatic COSC chronometer offering a 70-hour power reserve and an accuracy of -4/+6 seconds per day.
The natural motion of your wrist powers automatic watches. To keep your watch running smoothly, it is recommended to wear it regularly, preferably for at least 8 hours a day. This movement winds the watch's mainspring, storing energy in the power reserve.
