Description: SPARTA single watchwinder models feature wood cases with choice of black or mahogany lacquer finish. These cases are suede lined lift-top that are unobtrusive and assure silent winder operation at bedside and feature a spring hinge to facilitate quick and easy watch mounting.

SPARTA, is a unique winder for mechanical watches that instead of rotating the watch in order to wind it, SPARTA winder gently “swings” the watch to wind it. NEW DUAL-MODE OPERATION. A timing switch permits selection of the winding cycle: 10 minutes (standard program) or 15 minutes (extended program). Many watches that wind in both directions stay fully wound on the extended setting, increasing battery life by as much as 50%. The built in microprocessor activates a servomotor causing the watch to swing back and forth for several oscillations just as it would if it was being worn on the wrist.

The oscillating winding action of the winder is totally self-regulating and there is absolutely no chance on damaging an expensive watch by overwinding. Moreover, as the servomotor powers only the first oscillation in each cycle with all succeeding oscillations totally powered by gravity, therefore battery draw is minimal. SPARTA winder is guaranteed to operate for one year without any need for a battery change.

Powered by 2 "D" cell alkaline batteries, the drive motor only powers the first oscilation of each winding cycle, with all succeeding oscillations powered by gravity. Hence, battery drain is minimal. Battery life is guaranteed for a minimum of two years. W06540 W06550
