Carrera Skipper TPD & Winder Settings | Swiss Watch Store
An automatic like the TAG Heuer Carrera Skipper only stays accurate while its mainspring holds charge. This model carries reference CBS2213.FN6002. It is powered by the Calibre TH20-06 movement. Set your winder to the figures below and the Carrera Skipper stays wound, accurate and ready to pick up.
TPD and Winding Direction
The correct setting for the Carrera Skipper is 800 turns per day, bidirectional: 800 turns per day with the rotor turning in both directions.
| Turns per day (TPD) | 800 |
| Rotation direction | Bidirectional |
| Movement | Calibre TH20-06 |
Why the Correct Setting Matters
The correct TPD mirrors what your wrist would do naturally across a normal day. It holds the mainspring at a healthy charge so the Carrera Skipper runs at its best and is ready to wear at a moment's notice — exactly what a watch winder is for.
Don't worry if you're unsure — you can't break a modern automatic with the wrong winder setting; the slipping bridle on the mainspring makes overwinding impossible. The right setting just keeps everything running at its best.
Choosing a Watch Winder for the Carrera Skipper
The key feature to shop for is programmability: independent TPD and direction controls that cover 800 TPD bidirectional. Single-watch winders are ideal if the Carrera Skipper flies solo; multi-watch winders make sense the moment you own two or more automatics. Our watch winder collection covers both.
Carrera Skipper Winder FAQs
What's the correct TPD setting for the Carrera Skipper?
The Carrera Skipper is specified at 800 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 Carrera Skipper?
Yes — provided it's programmable. Verify the winder offers 800 turns per day with bidirectional rotation before buying; fixed-setting winders may not match.
