Question: I'm trying to determine the best single-watch winder for a '60s vintage Omega Seamaster with a cal 502 movement. I'm looking for something that is easy to use.
Thanks,
John
Answer#2:It's difficult if not impossible to find the winding requirements for vintage watches, so we recommend
a fully programmable winder that can wind any watch http://www.watchcases.com/si3wiinblla1.html
and then using some trial and error to determine the optimal setting for your watch. The strategy is simple start with a high turns per day setting and if the watch stays wound either turn it lower or stop. If your mechanically inclined you can keep lowering the settings until the watch does not stay wound and then reset it to the next highest setting.
Another option is to go with the
Sparta Rotor Wind motor of the Easy Winder by Orbita. http://www.watchcases.com/rolex-double-watch-winder.html
The advantage of the Sparta Series of Winders is if you are non technical and hate messing with settings etc the winder will likely wind any watch you own. Only a very few high turns per day watches will not stay wound with the Sparta. So it is the lazy man's choice. Hence the name the Easy Winder.
Thanks for your question.
