ur most popular winder
can grow as your watch collection increases. The
Avanti 3 is designed to wind three watches with
three storage drawers. However, it can be factory
upgraded to become the elegant six watch
winder pictured, or you can order it as a six right
from the start. The six version has a single drawer
for lay down storage of strapped watches.
Each winder level has its own power switch but
individual stations can also be turned off when not
in use. Combining exotic Macassar veneer and
genuine carbon fiber trim results in an impressive
cabinet that will retain a great look forever.
These cabinets can be placed anywhere you

is needed. The movements employed are our

technology allowing digital displays of
exact time and turns per day (TPD) are just
the beginning. Truly unique is the photo-optic
system that counts each cylinder rotation and
automatically advances the rest position 30°
after each rotation. The result is that watch
accuracy errors caused by gravity are negated
while any mechanical watch is on the winder.
Set within the robust crystal glass sleeve
enclosure, every nuance of the winder is fully
visible. The digital TPD display automatically
resets at midnight and several flashing blue

t your fingertips: The only winder for hand-wound watches. Totally unique in
concept, the Sempre winder will wind, but never overwind, virtually any manually wound mechanical watch
ever made. Replicating finger winding action, precision collets (mechanical fingers) grasp the watch crown and
wind the watch as you would. An ingenious microprocessor control senses the increasing resistance as the
mainspring is being wound and automatically stops winding when the watch approaches the fully wound state.

lassic watchwinder case designs are timeless. The sloped front case design affords
perfect visibility. The top is fitted with beveled glass viewing panel and superb quadrant hinges. All interior
surfaces are lined in rich suede. Drive modules simply lift out to load batteries (which are optional). Multiple
layers of high gloss polyester lacquer enrich the finished case which is available in two different wood
materials. The bottom surface of the case is covered in suede to prevent damage to fine furniture tops.

vault. This compact winder is equipped with a removable pedestal base to provide even more clearance for tight spaces. The winder
is powered by four Orbita long-lived lithium D cell batteries which eliminates the need for stand-alone power or a hole drilled into
your safe. In addition to a master switch, each winding head is individually powered with its own on/off switch and operating mode
switch. The case is covered with durable black vinyl and can be ordered with an open front or with a lockable black aluminum door
featuring a break-resistant polycarbonate viewing window. The door can be hinged to fold down, or to open left to right.

safe hideaway for six. The WallSafe 6 was
designed to provide secure, hidden protection for up to six
automatic wristwatches. Solid steel construction throughout, with
a steel 3/16” pry-resistant door, the safe offers excellent burglary
resistance. The electronic pushbutton lock is easy to program and
use. The sturdy fold-down steel door is fitted with heavy steel
support stay and a cushioned suede work surface to prevent any
metal-to-metal contact. Internally mounted Orbita long-lived
lithium D cell batteries provide many years of service life. There is
no need for any external power source.
The Sparta 6 WallSafe is designed for quick and easy installation
between 16” on center wall studs (2x4 or 2x6). When the WallSafe is
mounted in walls with studs, trim or filler strips between the wall and
the frame flanges may be required to assure an attractive installation.
T
he Do-It-Yourself module makes it easy for craftsmen to design and build custom watchwinders for
closets, safes or custom furniture. Each module is supplied fully assembled and ready for installation into a creative custom
setup. Extended lead wires (red and black) are provided to simplify power connection. Several different power supplies are
offered. Modules are available with our patented Rotorwind® system or our Programmable system. Dimensions and mounting
instruction drawings are available on our website, www.orbita.com, in the support section.

t’s the little things in life… Smallest of the Orbita collection winders, this compact version keeps your watch winding
and easily accessible. The Mini is powered by an AC motor that reduces winding speed to an unbelievably slow one revolution
every ten minutes. This results in completely silent operation, making it ideal for bedside use. Available in standard brown or black
faux leather or an extended array of special order colors. The Mini is also the perfect winder for promotional purposes, either as a
corporate incentive gift or a gift with watch purchase. The winder sides can be hot stamped with a corporate message or store logo.
A
basic necessity, these entry-level winders are compact and lightweight. They are ideal for use in safes without the
need for a plug-in adapter. Equipped with Orbita long-lived lithium D cell batteries operating on the normal ten-minute winding
cycle, the batteries will last for many years without the need for replacement. Even longer life may be accomplished by using
the 15-minute or extended-winding cycle, which is easily selected using the toggle switch located behind the mounting cup.
The Sparta is available in stylish black or brown grained faux leather.
