The Diplomat Mahogany Wood Finish 2 Watch Winder is an automatic watch winder which will keep most automatic watches in a wound state and ready for you to use at a time of your choosing. It has a built in Smart IC timer which effectively controls four separate timer settings.
The first timer setting is an ‘off’ setting, while the second is a 2-minute clockwise rotation with a 6-minute rest. The third causes the winder to rotate counter-clockwise for 2 minutes with a 6-minute rest period, while the fourth involves a clockwise and a counter-clockwise rotation for 2 minutes with a 6-minute rest between the two. The fifth setting will run a clockwise rotation for 5 minutes, followed directly by a counter-clockwise rotation for 5 minutes. The entire cycle will run for 3 hours, and a rest period for 9 hours will automatically be entered before starting over again. These timed rotations will ensure your watch experiences natural directional movement and will keep it wound and ready for you to wear.
The interior of the watch box is lined with cream leatherette, which will provide a soft yet protective environment for your watches while you are not wearing them. The box also features an attractive mahogany wood finish, which is sturdy and well-finished, while not of the ’15 coats of hand-applied lacquer variety. The essential features of the watch winder itself tick all the boxes in terms of multi-directional rotational mechanisms with appropriate rest periods via a multi-program cycle.

Benefits
Ready to Wear Watches
Your favorite watches will always be ready to wear when you use a watch winder because the programs are designed to imitate the effects of your natural arm movements, which of course keep the automatic watch wound. This will save you from needing to restart and reset the watch each and every time you find it stopped, as will happen if it detects no movement.
Even Wear on the Internal Mechanism
This watch winder has a clockwise rotation and an counter-clockwise rotation which means normal wear on the mechanism will be even, as opposed to winders which rotate in one direction only. Having a multi-directional rotation ensures the longevity of your watch so having this feature is good for both you and your watch.
