Speedmaster Racing Watch Winder Settings | Tempus

Own a Omega Speedmaster Racing? The motorsport-inspired Speedmaster with automatic column-wheel chronograph. An automatic watch like this deserves to be kept running when it is off the wrist — and that means choosing the correct TPD and winding direction on your winder.

We have pulled together the recommended settings for the Speedmaster Racing below, along with Tempus winder suggestions to keep it in peak condition.

Recommended Winder Settings

Setting	Value
Turns per day (TPD)	650
Winding direction	Bidirectional
Movement	Calibre 9900
Reference	329.30.44.51.01.001

Setting Up Your Tempus Winder

Select 650 TPD and bidirectional rotation on the winder's control panel — on touch-screen Tempus models this takes seconds. Place the Speedmaster Racing on the holder, close the lid, and let it run. Check after 48 hours: if the watch is running accurately and holding its reserve, the setting is right. Tempus winders run whisper-quiet, so a bedroom or study placement works well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What TPD does the Omega Speedmaster Racing need?

The recommended setting is 650 turns per day, bidirectional. Most Tempus winders cover this range with programmable TPD steps.

Which winding direction for the Speedmaster Racing?

Bidirectional rotation. Tempus winders offer clockwise, counter-clockwise and bidirectional modes, so this is covered.

Can I leave my Speedmaster Racing on a winder all the time?

Yes. Modern automatic movements have a slipping mainspring that prevents overwinding, so continuous gentle rotation is safe. An incorrect TPD setting will not damage the watch — at worst it simply will not stay fully wound.

Does Tempus offer a warranty on winders?

Every Tempus watch winder carries a 3-year warranty, and Tempus can repair any Tempus-brand winder even once the warranty has expired.
