SeaQ 39.5 TPD & Winder Settings | Swiss Watch Store

An automatic like the Glashütte Original SeaQ 39.5 only stays accurate while its mainspring holds charge. This model carries reference 1-39-11. It is powered by the Cal. 39-11 movement. Set your winder to the figures below and the SeaQ 39.5 stays wound, accurate and ready to pick up.

TPD and Winding Direction

The correct setting for the SeaQ 39.5 is 650 turns per day, bidirectional: 650 turns per day with the rotor turning in both directions.

Turns per day (TPD) 650
Rotation direction Bidirectional
Movement Cal. 39-11

Why the Correct Setting Matters

An automatic watch is only as accurate as its power reserve allows. Keep the mainspring properly tensioned and the SeaQ 39.5 will hold its rate and be ready to wear the instant you pick it up — no resetting the time and date. Set the TPD too low and the watch can run down between wears. The movement will not be damaged (modern automatics have a slipping mainspring that prevents overwinding), but an under-wound watch is simply not doing its job. Correct settings are about accuracy and readiness, not safety.

Choosing a Watch Winder for the SeaQ 39.5

The key feature to shop for is programmability: independent TPD and direction controls that cover 650 TPD bidirectional. Single-watch winders are ideal if the SeaQ 39.5 flies solo; multi-watch winders make sense the moment you own two or more automatics. Our watch winder collection covers both.
