Rolex Submariners that have been completely wound should working for at least 40 hours. Even if you take your Rolex Submariner off before going to bed, it should keep working all night.

If you wear your watch every day, the Rolex Submariner does not need to be wind up. Only when a Rolex Submariner's mainspring power reserve is depleted, the watch will cease working. As soon as you manually wound up the mainspring, the Rolex Submariner should start and be accurate.

The Rolex Submariner may not wind properly if you are seated at a computer for an extended period of time. Rolex Submariners should be wound manually at the beginning of the day or in the evening.

Watch Movement

Rolex Perpetual Movement Stop Working If You Don't Wear It


It is normal for a self winding mechanical watch, such as a Rolex Submariner, to stop working if it is not worn. Rolex is a watch company that manufactures mechanical watches with an automatic self-winding movement.

In order for automatic Rolex Submariners to perform well, they must be worn on a regular basis. When you take the Rolex Submariner off for the night, the mainspring power reserve will keep it going. Rolex Submariner models can last up to 70 hours while not in use, depending on the model; most Rolex Submariner models last between 40 and 50 hours. If your Rolex Submariner stops working after a few days of not being worn, you may manually wind it to restart it. Without any issues, the Rolex Submariner should be able to be restarted. When wound manually, a Rolex Submariner should retain precise time for 40 to 70 hours.

Rolex Submariner watches have self-winding movements. To put it another way, you won't have to manually rewind them every day if you wear them during the day.

Does Rolex Stop When I Take It Off?


Rolex Submariners are not supposed to stop running overnight or if you take it of. If fully wound, the Rolex Submariner should be kept running for at least 40 hours continuously.

Rolex watches often stop working overnight due to the following reasons.

There is no battery in Submariner watches

When a Rolex Submariner watch isn't running overnight, the battery isn't worn out. Except for the Rolex Oysterquartz (discontinued in 2001), Rolex watches do not have batteries. On the dial of your Rolex watch, you will see: ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL.

If your watch dial does not display Rolex Oysterquartz, your Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner watch is a mechanical self-winding watch without batteries. A mainspring drives the movements of Rolex Submariner watches.

The power reserve of a Rolex Submariner watch needs to be maintained by wearing the watch during the day. When you wind the Rolex Submariner at the beginning of the day, your wrist movement will charge the watch power reserve. In order for the Rolex Submariner to charge fully, you must move your wrist 800 times. You should not shake the Rolex Submariner watch to speed up charging. It is possible to damage your watch in this way. When you are seated all day at the computer, you will not be able to keep up your Rolex Submariner power up. An insufficient power reserve can cause Rolex Submariner watches to stop at night.

The Rolex Submariner is fine, it's just the lack of wrist movement. Don't forget to wind your Rolex Submariner watch before you go to sleep.

Rolex Service Centers (RSCs) should be consulted if your watch still stops working overnight after winding. How long does it takes the Rolex watch to be service? is a question people also ask.

In case you are unsure, it is possible to self test the power reserve of your Rolex Submariner. Find out whether your power reserve is sufficient by following these steps.

When Should I Wind My Rolex Submariner?


Rolex Submariner watches wind up automatically when worn, so there is no need to wind them up every day. The Rolex Submariner ensures steady and constant power all day long by transferring power from your wrist. When you take off your Rolex Submariner at night, the watch continues to run using the power reserve.

If any of the following situations arise, you must manually wind the Rolex Submariner:

It's been days since you wore your Rolex Submariner

Movement of the wrists during the day is insufficient to maintain it wind

The wrist is not very active when you're working at a desk job. If the Rolex Submariner watch isn't wound up completely, it may not wind up due to lack of wrist motion. As a result, you will need to wind your Rolex Date watch before bedtime.

Testing The Rolex Submariner's Power Reserve


Rolex Submariner watches with a full wind should have a long power reserve. A Rolex timepiece has a minimum power reserve of 40 hours. The power reserve on current Rolex watches is 70 hours.

If you do not wear the watch for an extended period of time, the watch can keep running as long as it has Power Reserve.

Is there a problem with the power reserve on your Rolex Submariner?

A problem with the power reserve can cause a Rolex Submariner to not run after being worn all day. Before you send your Rolex Submariner over for service, check the watch's power reserve.

How To Wind The Rolex Submariner

Selfwinding movement is the hallmark of Rolex Submariner watches.

Is it possible to manually wind a Rolex Submariner?

Rolex Submariner watches can be manually wound. For optimal performance, you should wear the Rolex Submariner daily since its automatic movement is driven by the motion of the wrist.

Rolex Submariner has an automatic winding mechanism, but it must be wound manually in certain situation.

Rolex Submariner watch where not to wind it

In order to wind the Rolex Submariner, the crown must be unscrewed and opened. Moisture and condensation can affect a Rolex Submariner during this situation. Consequently, in the morning it is best not to wind your Rolex Submariner in a steamy bathroom or under the shower.

When worn on your wrist, Rolex Submariners should not be wound

Rolex Submariners should be wound by taking them off your wrist and then winding them. If your Rolex Submariner is wound while you are wearing it, then the crown stem could bend.

Rolex Submariners have a crown that must be unscrewed

The Rolex Submariner must be wound by unscrewing its crown from the side of the case.

As soon as the crown is freed from the threads, pull it into a winding position.

Rolex Submariners wind in which direction?

Submariners wind in a clockwise direction. About 40 turns of the crown clockwise will wind up the Rolex Submariner mainspring.

When Rolex Submariners wind backwards, do they make a noise?

The Rolex Submariner has been wound backward by some Rolex owners who were afraid that they would damage their watches. You cannot damage the watch by winding it backward (anticlockwise).

While winding a Submariner backwards will not wind up the watch, it will not damage the movement.

A point of resistance does not exist on the winding crown of the Rolex Submariner

As opposed to classic mechanical watches, you won't experience a mechanical resistance when winding a Rolex Submariner.

If you are used to manual winding, you may be confused when winding a Rolex Submariner. The question of when to stop winding watches is often asked by many watch enthusiasts. They look forward to the resistance that never comes. The Rolex Submariner must be wound forty times clockwise in order to reach its full tension.

Make sure the crown is screwed back to prevent water from coming in

Set the time and date on the Rolex Submariner after it has been wound, and screw back the crown. It is imperative that you maintain the waterproofness of your Rolex Submariner. An unscrewed crown of the Rolex Submariner does not make the watch water-resistant.

Is It Possible To Overwind A Rolex Submariner?

The following perpetual movements feature overwind protection:

It will not harm or cause problems to wind Rolex Submariners for more than an hour.

When a Rolex watch is wound fully, it has no resistance, unlike many other mechanical watches. If the mainspring power reserve reaches capacity, the winding simply stops. A full wind of the Rolex Submariner takes place once it has made 40 crown rotations.

The Rolex Submariner ensures steady and constant power all day long by transferring power from your wrist.

If any of the following situations arise, you must manually wind the Rolex Submariner:

It's been days since you wore your Rolex Submariner

When Did Rolex Stop Using Batteries? In 2001


Rolex Oysterquartz was the only Rolex watch powered by batteries. Against Rolex's production of 800,000 watches per year, approximately 25,000 quartz Rolex watches were made. Rolex stopped manufacturing the Rolex Oysterquartz in 2001. The Rolex Oysterquartz remains a particularly desirable watch due to its rarity.

Watches with dials stamped ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL that are powered by a quartz movement are fakes.
