Submersible 42 TPD & Winder Settings | Swiss Watch Store

Left unworn, the Panerai Submersible 42 will run down within a couple of days — a correctly set watch winder stops that happening. This model carries reference PAM00682. It is powered by the Cal. P.9010 movement. Here is the TPD and direction this model calls for.

TPD and Winding Direction

The correct setting for the Submersible 42 is 725 turns per day, bidirectional: 725 turns per day with the rotor turning in both directions.

Turns per day (TPD)	725
Rotation direction	Bidirectional
Movement	Cal. P.9010

Why the Correct Setting Matters

Too few turns and the Submersible 42 stops between wears; the right figure keeps the mainspring in its sweet spot, where the movement runs most consistently. And there is no risk in experimenting: a modern automatic cannot be overwound on a winder, because the mainspring's slipping bridle releases excess tension. Getting the setting right is about convenience and accuracy, never about avoiding damage.

Choosing a Watch Winder for the Submersible 42

For the Submersible 42, look for a programmable winder offering a 725 TPD bidirectional programme. One watch? A single winder. Two or more automatics? A double or triple winder keeps the whole rotation ready. You'll find suitable models in our watch winder collection — check the programme list before you buy.

Submersible 42 Winder FAQs

What's the correct TPD setting for the Submersible 42?

The Submersible 42 is specified at 725 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 Submersible 42?

Yes — provided it's programmable. Verify the winder offers 725 turns per day with bidirectional rotation before buying; fixed-setting winders may not match.
