Longines watches are renowned for their elegance, precision, and rich heritage in watchmaking. Understanding the TPD (Turns Per Day) and winding direction is crucial for maintaining these luxury automatic timepieces. Here's a comprehensive guide for various Longines models:
| Series | Model | TPD | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Master Collection | All Automatic Models | 650-800 | Bidirectional |
| HydroConquest | All Automatic Models | 650-800 | Bidirectional |
| Conquest | Automatic Models | 650-800 | Bidirectional |

| Spirit | All Models | 650-800 | Bidirectional |
Most modern Longines automatic watches have a standard TPD range of 650-800 and use bidirectional winding. This is due to Longines' use of high-quality ETA movements (often modified), which are designed for optimal performance and longevity.
When using a watch winder for your Longines, it's generally recommended to start with 650 TPD and adjust up to 800 TPD if needed, always with bidirectional rotation to maintain optimal performance. The bidirectional setting allows the watch to wind in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, mimicking the natural movement of the wrist.
If you're unsure about the specific TPD setting for your Longines watch or want to fine-tune its performance, you can experiment with different settings. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you find the optimal TPD for your Longines:
Remember that Longines watches typically have a power reserve of about 38-72 hours, depending on the model and movement. If your watch is still running accurately after 48 hours on the winder, it indicates that the winder is providing sufficient turns to keep the mainspring wound.
While experimenting with TPD settings can help you find the optimal winding for your Longines, keep these points in mind:

Remember, while using a watch winder can be convenient, it's also beneficial to wear your Longines regularly. The natural movement of your wrist provides the best winding for your timepiece and allows you to enjoy its elegant design and precision fully.
Always consult your watch's specific manual or a professional watchmaker for the best care instructions for your particular Longines model, especially if you have a vintage piece or a watch with complex features.
