The Sparta 1 mini winder is AC powered - No batteries are required.
Although the size is MINI, the performance of this very affordable watch winder is MAXI. Operating on safe low voltage with a wall plug-in transformer, the motor and gearing system is what makes this AC design unique. Orbita has coupled together an AC synchronous motor with a gearbox that reduces output speed to an unbelievably slow six revolutions per hour. Consequently, the output speed is only one revolution every 10 minutes. That is the same time cycle as in battery-operated DC versions, which has been proven to successfully wind virtually every automatic mechanical watch we've ever test. The winder is absolutely silent in operation and perfect for bedside use.
This mini case has a black faux leather finish.
Orbita is a young company which began operations in 1997. After an amazingly short time, Orbita's innovative Watchwinder designs captured a huge international market and the company became the world's largest producer of fine Watchwinders for both manual and automatic watches. Today, several well-known Swiss watch manufacturers use Orbita Watchwinders as a promotional "package", combining Orbita winder with their watch. Orbita "leading-edge" winding technology is recognized and acknowledged by both watch manufacturers and watch collectors all over the world. Now produced in both the USA and Europe, Orbita offers a multitude of winder models encased in elegant hardwood or leather cases to keep virtually any automatic or any hand-wound watch fully wound when unworn..... without any chance of over-winding. Winders are available for winding single or multiple watches, currently up to as many as forty (40) watches at a time. Many also incorporate built-in drawers for additional watch or personal jewelry storage. Do-it-yourself Watchwinder modules are also offered for use in custom designed cabinetry.
