The best watch winder for Breitling watches
We are regularly asked which watch winder best suits one or more automatic watches from a specific watch brand. We are consulted especially for well-known watch brands such as Tag Heuer, Omega, Fortis, IWC, Rolex and Breitling. Our answer consists of several aspects.
The watch winder brands of which we are official dealer all offer watch winder models that are suitable for winding any automatic watch. These watch winders can all rotate clockwise and counterclockwise and can be set in terms of number of revolutions per day (TPD: turns per day). The models that have a fixed TPD are often set to 900 TPD which is suitable for 99% of all automatic watches.
With an automatic watch from Breitling two aspects are important when you are looking for a good watch winder. The first aspect is that the watch winder must have good and strong motors because an average Breitling watch is slightly larger and heavier than an average automatic watch. That is why you need a more powerful motor because the rotation of a Breitling watch requires more energy. A watch winder that has a Japanese, German or Swiss motor will be the best option. These motors have enough power and flexibility to wind a Breitling watch. A good example are the Benson watch winders that have a Japanese motor. But you can also think of a Swiss Kubik or Orbita watch winder that have a Swiss motor.
The second aspect is that the watch winder must have a watch holder that fits a larger and heavier watch, such as a Breitling watch. Not all watch winders have watch holders. Some brands use cushions or pillows that often do not fit well. A watch holder, such as Benson and Swiss Kubik use, is flexible and can be adjusted to the size of the watch and the strap. This allows you to place any watch on the watch holder.
