Seiko has the 'magic-lever' winding system...
So it winds in both directions, no worries on which side. Might be good to mix it up a little.
However, it's best to let it run out of reserve if it goes unworn for an *extended period* of time (instead of putting on winder to wind it when unworn). Yes, lubrication may dry up, but better than gears wearing out due to constant running friction.
Of course, all this shouldn't be a huge concern if you service it at recommended intervals.
Best!
