Why Does One Need an Orbita Watch Winder?

Posted by johnssmith00 on July 2nd, 2013

An orbita watch winder is a device that can help you maintain the health of your self-winding watch for a longer time and thus, eliminating the need to manually winding the watch every two or three weeks. These automatic watch winders have a small rotary cup or several, on which you can place your automatic watch in order to wind it. The winders mimic the motions that a normal human wrist will make in order to move the small weight that makes the clock work.

An automatic watch, also known as a self-winding watch has a small weight inside it that needs to move back and forth constantly is order for the watch to work properly. That is why if you do not want to invest in an orbita watch winder when you buy a self-winding watch, then you have to be prepared to either wind the watch every few days or weeks (depending on the quality of the product), or be ready to wear it constantly or else it will run down and it will stop showing the time accurately.

If you are a watch enthusiast then you surely have collected quite a few of them during the years, no matter what type they are: sports watches, formal wear ones or collector’s items. If you recognize yourself in this small description then you probably also know how important watch winders are for the health of your beloved collection pieces. When self-winding watches are not worn often (which can be pretty hard when you have a lot of them) they run down and stop showing the correct time, which is never something you want.

You can find all kinds of winders on the internet, if you are looking to buy one. Manufacturers produce al sorts of watch winders for every kind of need: you can buy a small winder with only one rotary cup if you have just one automatic watch that you do not wear very often, but you love it and do not want it to run down; you can buy a triple orbita watch winder that, of course, has three rotary cups in which you can place three watches – people who normally buy these ones are people who love to switch in between watches and thus, they have a sporty one, one suited for formal wear and one that is a collector’s item. If you are an avid collector and you have more than three watches, do not despair, there are also watch winders out there for your collection: there are some winders that can hold up to forty watches and surely, if you look hard enough you can find even bigger ones, if there is somebody with so many self-winding watches.

If you find yourself needing a orbita watch winder then that means you have several watches that are automatic (self-winding). But before you buy be sure to do some research and see which one of the thousands of watch winders correspond to your needs.
