Conquest Automatic TPD & Winder Settings | Swiss Watch Store

Winding settings are one of those details that separate a watch that runs perfectly from one that is constantly being reset. For the Longines Conquest Automatic, reference L3.776.4, the correct combination is specific to its movement — Calibre L888. This guide lays out the exact TPD requirement and winding direction, in plain terms.

Recommended settings

For the Conquest Automatic, dial in 650 turns per day and choose bidirectional (rotating both ways) winding. These are the verified figures for this watch. If your winder offers preset programmes, pick the one closest to 650 turns per day with the right direction.

Accuracy starts with a full reserve

Automatic movements are at their best when the mainspring carries a healthy charge — amplitude is stable and the rate holds true. That is what the correct TPD delivers for your Conquest Automatic: a watch that is always wound, always accurate, and never needs a reset before you head out. And if you are worried about getting it wrong, do not be — a modern automatic simply cannot be overwound, thanks to the slipping mainspring. The penalty for a wrong setting is a stopped watch, not a broken one.

Choosing a winder for your Conquest Automatic

Any programmable winder that offers the TPD and direction figures above will suit this Longines. Look for a model with adjustable turns-per-day and selectable rotation modes rather than a fixed-speed winder. A single-watch winder is ideal if the Conquest Automatic is your everyday piece; if your collection is growing, a two- or four-watch winder keeps everything wound at once.
