message: I'm trying to determine the best single-watch winder for a '60s vintage Omega Seamaster with a cal 502 movement. I'm looking for something that is easy to use.
Thanks,
John
It's difficult to find the winding requirements for vintage watches, so we recommend a fully programmable winder that can wind any watch. If you go with the Viceroy winder by Wolf Designs, you can easily try different settings to see which one works.
(Note: Viceroy is the critical part, Wolf makes other winders which will not work for this watch and though they are programmable do not offer the range of settings needed.)
You'll want to start with a setting of 650 turns bi-directional (half in one direction half in the other.) This is the setting for modern Seamasters. If your watch is a chronograph, you'll want to start with 800 turns clockwise.
Best Winder for the Vintage Omega Seamaster is the Wolf Viceroy Watch Winder http://www.watchcases.com/leather-watch-winder-by-wolf.html
Another Option is an Orbita Monaco Winder, though not as easily programmed it is a better winder overall.
Thanks for your question.
