Orbita Tourbillon One Watch Winder Review 

Orbitron Single Watch Winder
Orbitron Single Watch Winder

The Orbita Tourbillon One Watch Winder is a single-watch winder with a very modern look. It is slightly different from more traditional-looking watch winders as it is made from 3/8” heavy glass crystal rather than wood. Aside from the contemporary look, this automatic watch winder has all the features you would expect from a high-end watch winder.

The Orbita Tourbillon has an accurate quartz-based mechanism and an indicator that shows the daily revolutions as they are counted on the LED display. The counter resets automatically each night at midnight, and you can set the time with push-button controls, as well as a variety of programmable flash rates. You can turn the flashing lights off, though, for sleeping. The glass enclosure is open on two sides so that you can attach the power cord at the back and easily access the drum. The see-through glass enclosure also allows you to see the winder in action.

 

Features of the Orbita Tourbillon

Design – a modern looking single watch winder set in an enclosure of crystal glass

Lighted Displays – 4 x LED displays. The flashing display can be turned off

Digital Clock Display – this remains on all the time and will show the current time. If you prefer complete dark for sleeping, you may need to cover the box at night.

Mechanism – is a very accurate quartz-based mechanism that features 12-hour time across AM and PM

Controls – are push button for setting the time as well as clearing out the register that records the turns or revolutions per day

Power – a power supply is required and an AC/DC adapter for 110/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz is supplied for this purpose. A 7-foot cord is also included.

Open Sides – 2 sides of the box are open so that accessing the drum is quite easy and the open back also allows access for the power cord.

The consensus of customers agreed that the Orbita Tourbillon is a special product, and they appreciated the technology that has been brought into play. They liked its modern look and precision performance as well as being able to program it. One customer received an incomplete winder and decided to return the winder rather than wait for the parts.

One customer was a little skeptical about the box having two open sides.
