Overseas Self-Winding 41 TPD & Winder Settings | Swiss Watch Store
Left unworn, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Self-Winding 41 will run down within a couple of days — a correctly set watch winder stops that happening. This model carries reference 4500V. It is powered by the Cal. 5100 movement. Here is the TPD and direction this model calls for.
TPD and Winding Direction
The correct setting for the Overseas Self-Winding 41 is 850 turns per day, bidirectional: 850 turns per day with the rotor turning in both directions.
| Turns per day (TPD) | 850 |
| Rotation direction | Bidirectional |
| Movement | Cal. 5100 |
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 Overseas Self-Winding 41 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 Overseas Self-Winding 41
For the Overseas Self-Winding 41, look for a programmable winder offering a 850 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.
