can you overwind an automatic watch
You cant overwind the watch in the clockwise direction as the Automatic watches have a clutch on the winding mechanism to not only stop you from overwinding it manually but to stop the automatic winding rotor from overwinding the watch.uestion 1: Asked about overwinding clockwise and counterclockwise on the crown. They said you can't overwind on an Automatic and I can only wind the watch clockwise via the crown. Also, they advise that I shouldn't use the crown to wind my watch often because there is no need (because of the pendulum).
