: Yes, your watch is an automatic, meaning that
: it will stop if not worn or kept on a watch
: winder. You shouldn't shake it to get it
: started, though. You need to unscrew the
: crown (if it has a screw-down type), pull it
: all the way out until the second hand stops
: moving, and then turn it clockwise about
: 40-50 full revolutions to wind it.
: If you don't wear the watch regularly, you'll
: need to keep doing this every time you wear
: the watch, unless you buy an automatic watch
: winder for it. Depending on which model you
: have, your watch will only stay wound for
: 42-55 hours after you wind and set it IF you
: don't wear it. If you wear it every day, the
: kinetic motion of your wrist will keep it
: wound.
Thank you. Does Omega Recommend any automatic watch winders? How much do they cost?
