Aquatimer Automatic TPD & Winder Settings | Swiss Watch Store

Correct winder settings are the difference between a watch that is ready to wear and one that has stopped overnight. For the IWC Aquatimer Automatic (reference IW328006, powered by the Calibre 32111), programme your winder as follows.

TPD and winding direction for the Aquatimer Automatic

For the Aquatimer Automatic, the correct programme is 800 turns per day (TPD), bidirectional (rotating in both directions). Most programmable winders let you select both values directly.

Why the correct setting matters

A watch winder earns its place by keeping your Aquatimer Automatic wound, accurate and instantly wearable. The correct TPD maintains the power reserve exactly where the movement likes it, so timekeeping stays consistent. If the setting is wrong, the only casualty is performance — modern automatics cannot be overwound thanks to the slipping mainspring — but a watch that has stopped when you want to wear it has missed the whole point.

Choosing a watch winder for the Aquatimer Automatic

What you need is a winder with adjustable TPD and direction settings — the two figures above must both be selectable. A single-watch winder suits a one-watch owner perfectly, while collectors will want a multi-watch winder that can run different programmes side by side. See our collection of watch winders for options in every size.
