Orbita Watch Winders Tesla

Orbita Watch Winders Tesla = $395

The Orbita Watch Winders Tesla trouble-free life is assured by the use of this single watch winders precision-ground ball bearings for all moving parts. The fully lacquered wooden case design features lustrous black piano finished sides with genuine Rosewood veneer front panel.

The unit may be positioned in either the "Landscape" or "Portrait" position. Four self-adhesive polyurethane pads are furnished unattached but can be easily applied by the owner once the mounting position preference is established.

This single watch winder design is based on the ORBITA patented ROTORWIND® system, winds automatic mechanical watches using a gentle "rocking" motion (click here to see the ROTORWIND® system in action) , employs an extremely quiet, American-made AC synchronous motor which rotates at 6 RPH (not a typographical error - 6 revolutions per HOUR, not MINUTE). As a result, every ten minutes, there is a single revolution of the low voltage drive motor, initiating a winding cycle of 12 to 20 gravity powered "swings". The resulting winding action is equivalent to about 700 to 800 turns per day, ideal for almost every mechanical watch.

The TESLA Sparta single watch winder is also a very "green" product. As there are no batteries required, there is no disposal problem for depleted batteries. With a safe low voltage 24 volt AC motor that consumes less than 3 watts of power, this winder actually uses less electricity in a month than a single 75 watt light bulb consumes in a day. And, if one is concerned about noise pollution, the Sparta 1 TESLA is surely a "green" product as its operation is totally silent.
