Omega constellation winding

The winding method of Omega mechanical watch

1, find the last knob, the strap is in your hand, and look at the dial, which is on the right frame of the dial.

2. Take off the watch, hold it in your left hand, with the number face of the dial facing you, and turn the knob clockwise in your right hand. Twist a dozen or twenty times. Until it can't be twisted.

Common sense of winding mechanical watches:

Any so-called "automation" is not unconditional. Mechanical things must follow principles, and so must watches. The premise of "automatic" is that your own arm must move first. According to the principle of doing work in physics, the horizontal motion of an object does not do work (unless you jerk at an acceleration), so wrist translation can't wind up the watch.

The best way to make the watch wind automatically is to swing the arm up and down along the plane of the automatic lever, at which time the lever rotates the most, but if it swings up and down along the axis of the lever, the automatic lever will not rotate. It is a natural and random action for people to swing their arms. Any force can be decomposed into axial force and radial force, and only the radial force acting on the automatic lever can do useful work.

Adjustment time principle of mechanical watch:

When the mechanical watch is not used for a long time, the spring of the mechanical watch will relax until the watch is stationary. If you want to wear it again at this time, you must wind it up again quickly and then adjust the time. Generally, when the spring is loosest, the hour hand and the minute hand will slow down or get faster.

Because of this, you should wind up the spring first, so that there will be no standard electric pointer after the calibration time. Even if the watch is semi-automatically wound, you should manually wind it for at most eight minutes before time calibration (full winding will jam the clockwork).
