Dunhill watch winder direction and settings
Dunhill was never actually a watch manufacturer itself, but in fact, a London based retailer that commissioned watches from a variety of Swiss houses starting in 1929. This charismatic British company are the epitome of gentlemanship and occupy a charming niche with the collectors of wristwatches.
Dunhill has a long and rich heritage in producing beautiful timepieces. It is to this history that they look for inspiration when designing our watches. Shapes and detailing are influenced by pieces in the extensive archive, but which are brought right up-to-date.
Most Dunhill watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winder boxes. Usually Dunhill’s self-winding movements need to rotate 650 - 950 revolutions per day, and most of them can be wound clockwise. So please take some time and like to choose a cute clockwork that suits you and your watch.

If you could not find your watch model (or caliber) in this table, you may determine your Dunhill. winding mode on a trial basis. You should select the combined winding mode (CW+CCW) and the minimal number of turns per day (TPD). Then place your watch into the watch winder and check after a few days how accurate your watch shows the time. If it runs behind, it is necessary to increase the number of TPD by one step.
