Overseas Dual Time Watch Winder Settings | Tempus

A watch winder is the simplest way to keep your Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time running between wears. Vacheron's luxury sports traveller with Maltese cross bezel.

The key is matching the winder's programme to the movement inside: too few turns and the reserve runs down, too many and you are just wasting energy. These are the settings we recommend for the Overseas Dual Time.

Recommended Winder Settings

Setting	Value
Turns per day (TPD)	850
Winding direction	Bidirectional
Movement	Calibre 5110 DT
Reference	47450

Setting Up Your Tempus Winder

Select 850 TPD and bidirectional rotation on the winder's control panel — on touch-screen Tempus models this takes seconds. Place the Overseas Dual Time 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 Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time need?

The recommended setting is 850 turns per day, bidirectional. Most Tempus winders cover this range with programmable TPD steps.

Which winding direction for the Overseas Dual Time?

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

Can I leave my Overseas Dual Time 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.
