The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I have an '08 Chronomat Evolution and wanted to know if the MODULE 1.5 Single Rotator (http://www.wolfdesigns.com/?a=getp&oid=215&cid=3) would be a good choice. For the $200 dollar price point is there another make or company I should be looking at?

On Another note, what is the optimal routine for winding an evolution...what settings?

Thank you kindly in advance.

I use cheapo winders.
You'll find Breitling movements under Breguet... http://www.orbita.net/pages/17102B.htm
Evo's caliber is B13.

According the the following cite - http://www.orbita.net/pages/17102B.htm - my Chronomat Evolution is Clockwise and recommended at 800 turns per day...The watch winder I am looking at by Wolf Designs has only 600 turns per day. Will this suffice or should I look for another model that has 800 specified?

Here is the Single Orbita travel for about three hundred...anyone have any feedback on this particular model?

The answer to your question is YES the wolf 1.5 will work just fine. I have one (that i dont use since the purchase of the 6 watch winder) adn I used it for quite some time. The only problem I had was the head weight of the watch caused the watch to fall out of the winder so ordered the extra large cushion for it and wedged a old debit card (slimmed down) on the inside of the cup to add a little extra pressure to the holding power. Worked great after that and I would still be using it if I didnt need adn havent purchased the new winder.

BTW they can be had cheaper than the $200 you meantioned. $175 is pretty common on eBay and at some AD's.

BroncoSport,

If you don't mind elaborating on how you used the 1.5? Would you just put the watch on whenever you weren't wearing it? For how long?

At the time I bought the 1.5 winder, I had my Chronomat and my black Steelfish. I wear the Steelfish everyday and the Chronomat was for nicer occations, so... 99% of the time the Chronomat was on the Wolf winder. Sometimes for weeks at a time.
