Question
I'm looking to buy three watch winders to use with the following watches:
• Rolex Datejust
• Cartier Roadster XL Chrono (W62019X6)
• Cartier Santos 100 XL Chrono (W20090X8)
I'd like to have the option of battery or ac adaptor power and I will need something compact so I can store the watches in their winders in my safe. I was looking at the Orbita Bellino. Would this be a good winder for these watches? The Rolex is about 10 years old, but its a standard datejust. I wasn't able to determine the movement type for the Cartier watches, which are both chonographs. I'm not sure if that is a factor or not? Any help before I can place me order would be appreciated.
Answer
The Orbita BellinoItem# OR-BELLINO/W1is a wonderful winder choice that will meet all of your prized automatic watches needs. Because you want these luxurious watches to fit into a safe you need a compact winder and the Bellino is just that. Your Cartier Roadster and your Rolex Datejust seem to have the same winding requirements. I'm not sure of the specific requirements for the Cartier Santos but that should not be a problem at all. The Orbita Bellino is programmable both directionally and TPD (turns per day) It has 4 programmable settings of 500, 650, 800 and 950 TPD and direction settings: Counterclockwise or Clockwise and Auto-Reversible, for Bi-directional Watches like Rolex.
The Orbita Bellino is a Dual Powered Unit: Operates with adapter (included) or batteries (4 “C-cells” not incl.) Batteries will last up to 1 year and the signal light will indicate low power long before performance is affected.
Another less expensive and reliable option is either the "The Cubic" Watch Winder by Eilux
or the New 2008 Eilux 1 Cylinder Watch Winder . Like the Bellino, these winders are also directionally programmable, CW, CCW, and Bi. The TPD is set to 900 per day. This preset TPD is not a problem because most automatic watches have an internal mechanism that protects the watch from over winding.
A nice feature of The "The Cubic" Watch Winder by Eilux, is that it can lie flat in your safe and still wind your Rolex or Cartiers. You need to be careful not to rest "The Cubic" Watch Winder by Eilux completely upright on its battery compartment. The winder will not wind your watch if it is standing straight up and down.
Both of these winders are perfect for safe storage or travel. They are both super quiet and these winders are either battery or AC adapter operated.
