Hi

Ive just ordered a dual watch winder to put my new IW377704 in (along side an Omega Seamaster)
This is the model of the winder, Time Tutelary Dual 2 Automatic Vertical Tower KA015
But Ive just been reading that some winders can damage watches due to the rotation of the winding movement and possible magnetic interference.
Do I need to make sure the IWC is only rotated in one direction on the winder?
And do i need to worry about magnetic interference?

Any advice or tips greatly received.

Thanks
Chris

I believe that movement only winds when rotating clockwise (800 rotations per day), but a bi-directional winder shouldn't hurt it. I personally prefer a winder that can be programmed for rotations per day and direction, but they do get quite expensive. Although your winder does not specify how many rotations per day it delivers, it should be fine. Magnetic interference shouldn't be an issue with a watch winder.
