Aquis Date TPD & Winder Settings | Swiss Watch Store

An automatic like the Oris Aquis Date only stays accurate while its mainspring holds charge. This model carries reference 01 733 7766. It is powered by the Calibre 733 (SW200-1 base) movement. Set your winder to the figures below and the Aquis Date stays wound, accurate and ready to pick up.

TPD and Winding Direction

The correct setting for the Aquis Date 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 Calibre 733 (SW200-1 base)

Why the Correct Setting Matters

An automatic watch is only as accurate as its power reserve allows. Keep the mainspring properly tensioned and the Aquis Date 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 Aquis Date

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 Aquis Date flies solo; multi-watch winders make sense the moment you own two or more automatics. Our watch winder collection covers both.

Aquis Date Winder FAQs

What's the correct TPD setting for the Aquis Date?

The Aquis Date is specified at 650 turns per day. Most programmable winders offer this as a standard preset.

Which winding direction should I use?

Bidirectional — the winder should rotate in both clockwise and anticlockwise directions.

Can I use any watch winder for my Aquis Date?

Yes — provided it's programmable. Verify the winder offers 650 turns per day with bidirectional rotation before buying; fixed-setting winders may not match.
