Winder Basics
Mechanical wristwatches use spring drives for power and must be wound every 2-3 days. Automatic or self-winding watches use a rotary pendulum wound by wrist movement. When unworn for approximately 48 hours, the mainspring unwinds and the watch stops.
Watch Complications & Multiple Watch Ownership
Advanced watches display complications like date, lunar phase, world time zones, and more. Each complication consumes spring power. Owners of multiple watches—sport, business, formal—face the challenge of keeping all watches wound and reset.
What is a Watch Winder?
A watchwinder is a powered device that keeps automatic watches fully wound using electric motors and spindles. Continuous rotation increases wear on winding mechanisms. ORBITA warns: buyer beware—your expensive watch could be at risk with inferior winders.
The ORBITA Difference
ORBITA uses a solid-state microprocessor controlling a DC gear motor that intermittently drives a rotating cup. Programmed sleep periods control turns per day (TPD): 650, 800, 950, 1300, and 1600 TPD. Key features: automatic watch sizing, simple placement and removal, natural winding action, extremely quiet operation, watch cannot fall off cushion, no metal-to-metal contact.
