4. Operating Instructions
The Versa G097 features touch button controls for power, rotation direction, and Turns Per Day (TPD) settings. The blue LED indicator lights will show the current selection.
Controls:
- Power Button: Turns the winder ON/OFF.
- Rotation Direction Button: Cycles through available rotation modes:
- Clockwise (CW)
- Counter-Clockwise (CCW)
- Bi-directional (alternating CW and CCW)
- TPD (Turns Per Day) Button: Selects the desired TPD setting. The G097 offers 12 settings, typically ranging from 650 to 1250 TPD.
- Display Light Button: Toggles the internal blue display light ON/OFF.
Recommended Settings:
Most automatic watches require between 650 and 850 TPD in a bi-directional rotation. It is recommended to start with these settings. Some specific watch movements may require clockwise only, counter-clockwise only, or higher TPD settings (e.g., 1050 TPD).
Refer to your watch manufacturer's specifications for the precise TPD and rotation direction requirements for your specific watch model. If you encounter issues keeping your watch wound, consult your watch's manual or contact Versa support for assistance in finding the correct setting.
Note: This winder is not compatible with Seiko Kinetic watches.

- Power Disconnection: If the winder will not be used for an extended period, disconnect it from the power outlet.
