Mechanical watches are powered by a spring drive. In general, this watch must be hand-wound every two or three days to ensure continuous operation. An advanced version of a mechanical watch is an "automatic" or "auto-wound" mechanical watch that uses a built-in rotary pendulum mechanism to wrap the spring. Typically, the pendulum mechanism swings by an arc of 30 to 60 degrees as the wearer works or walks and swings the arm. Orbita uses a unique and secure watch winding design concept. Their design uses a solid-state microprocessor that controls a DC gear motor that is a battery or AC power source that intermittently drives the rotating cup. The cup carries the cushion watch, rotates for a short period of time (one to two minutes), and then "sleeps". Sleep time is easily programmed by the user based on the watch's production. Typically, time control is 650, 800, 900 and 1300 per day. Orbita provides enough movement to keep the watch wound while at the same time eliminating any concerns about windings.
