VOYAGER TRAVEL WATCHWINDER

Traveling?  No need to leave your mechanical watches at home.

Using a unique plastic-lined stainless steel cylinder which serves both as a watch holder and a rotating cylinder, this watch mounting system provides protection from rough handling, Orbita’s Travel Watchwinder, the Voyager, is a programmable travel winder with two components.  First, a drive unit employing a Swiss micromotor which is hidden within one of two stainless steel support rollers which, in turn, are mounted on the round black pedestal.  Secondly, a rotating plastic lined stainless steel hollow cylinder, into which the watch is mounted, which is placed onto the support rollers. 

Watch rotation is determined by the placement of the mounting cup on the base.  If clockwise rotation is required, the cylindrical mount is placed in one position.  If counter-clockwise rotation is required, the position is reversed by 180º.  As is true of all Orbita winders, this travel winder is programmable offering winding cycles of 900 or 1300 turns per day. 

A blinking LED light signals when batteries need to be replaced.  The 4 batteries employed are readily available AAA alkaline cells and a compact AC/DC adapter is also provided for wall plug-in use worldwide.

The two components are safely and securely placed in an easy-to-carry cylindrical textured black leather carrying case with snap enclosure.
