GMT-Master II "Batman" — Winder Setting Overview
Looking for the correct winder setting for your Rolex GMT-Master II "Batman"? You've come to the right place. The GMT-Master II "Batman" runs on the Calibre 3285 calibre. Programme the figures below into any programmable winder and your watch will stay wound, accurate and ready to wear.
TPD and Winding Direction
Programme your winder to 650 turns per day and select bidirectional rotation. These are the exact figures the GMT-Master II "Batman" is designed to wind at.
Why the Correct Setting Matters
Accuracy starts with a fully wound mainspring. The correct TPD keeps your GMT-Master II "Batman"'s power reserve topped up around the clock, so the movement delivers its best rate and the watch is always ready to wear.
Worth knowing: an incorrect TPD won't damage a modern automatic movement, because the slipping mainspring simply can't be overwound. Getting the figure right is about keeping the watch accurate and ready, not about protecting it.
Choosing a Watch Winder for the GMT-Master II "Batman"
Pair the GMT-Master II "Batman" with a quality programmable winder set to its 650 TPD / bidirectional programme. A single-watch winder is ideal if this is your only automatic; if you rotate several watches, a multi-watch winder is the smarter buy.
