Winding Index: Oris Winding Settings

This page is Oris's entry in the Winding Index — our census of how automatic watches wind, built from 4,302 audited model records. It is the data page: the settings Oris actually uses, counted across the range. For winder recommendations for this brand, see our Best Watch Winder for Oris buying guide; for an individual model's exact setting, the TPD settings index.

The story in the data

Oris is the most uniform mainstream brand in the Index. Of 178 models, 78% take exactly 650 TPD — the Aquis Date and most of the catalogue among them — and the remainder sit at 800, with just two records at 725. There are no exotic settings anywhere in the range.

Direction follows the same tidy pattern: 79% bidirectional, 21% clockwise only, nothing counter-clockwise-only. For owners, Oris is the easy brand in this report: 650 bidirectional is right for four models in five, and the model check matters mainly for the 800 minority.

Extremes and spread

Oris's hungriest models — the Artelier Alarm among them — need 800 TPD; its least demanding need 650. A 150-turn spread across an entire catalogue is as narrow as big-brand winding gets.

Setting	Models
650 TPD	138
800 TPD	38
725 TPD	2

Against the average watch

Against the all-watch picture, Oris is calmer than average on every axis: same 650 median, tighter range, more bidirectional. Across all 4,302 watches in the Index, the median is 650 TPD, 90.2% of watches need between 650 and 800 TPD, and 39.3% wind in one direction only. The full census is in the Winding Index report; how the data was audited is on the methodology page.
