Submariner Date TPD & Winder Settings | Swiss Watch Store

Wondering how to programme your watch winder for the Rolex Submariner Date? You are in the right place. This model carries reference 126610LN. It is powered by the Calibre 3235 movement. Below are the correct TPD and rotation-direction figures for this model, so your watch is always ready to wear.

TPD and Winding Direction

The correct setting for the Submariner 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 3235

Why the Correct Setting Matters

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

Which winding direction should I use?

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