Heritage Black Bay – 79220R TPD & Winder Settings | Swiss Watch Store

Wondering how to programme your watch winder for the Tudor Heritage Black Bay – 79220R? You are in the right place. Below are the correct TPD and rotation-direction figures for this model, so your watch is always ready to wear.

TPD and winding direction for the Heritage Black Bay – 79220R

The winding specification for the Heritage Black Bay – 79220R is 650 turns per day (TPD) in the bidirectional (rotating in both directions) direction. Enter both into your winder's settings and you are done.

Why the correct setting matters

An automatic watch is only as accurate as its power reserve allows. Keep the mainspring properly tensioned and the Heritage Black Bay – 79220R will hold its rate and be ready to wear the instant you pick it up — no fiddling with 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 Heritage Black Bay – 79220R

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 Heritage Black Bay – 79220R flies solo; multi-watch winders make sense the moment you own two or more automatics. Our watch winder collection covers both.
