Benson Black Series II watch winder, a must have!

Posted on 23 June 2025 at 3:10 PM

A good watch winder is the solution to the biggest problem of the owner of luxury automatic watches. After all, no proud watch owner wants his automatic watch or watches to stop. Not only can this result in inaccuracies in the time display, it is also very annoying when you have to reset your watches again and again.

A high-quality watch winder is therefore an essential part of this hobby, because it can take over the winding function when the automatic watch is not being worn. To purchase a good watch winder, you can of course go to Switzerland, known for its expertise in luxury watches. In addition, there are also several other countries that house watch winder brands with high-quality watch winders in their collection. For example, the Dutch watch winder brand Benson is very interesting if you are looking for watch winders of very high quality at an attractive price. Benson is a brand with watch winders in the collection that are not only of very high quality, but also have a very luxurious appearance. An extremely beautiful and luxurious series of watch winders from the Benson collection is the Benson Black Series II. Within this series we find watch winders with an elegant appearance that offer many beautiful extras. The watch winders within the Benson Black Series II are handmade and provided with 12 layers of paint and a protective lacquer layer. A lot of attention has also been paid to the inside of these watch winders. For example, these models are equipped with a special soft velvet inlay, which not only looks very luxurious, but also offers protection to your watches against scratches or other damage.

The Benson Black Series II models are available with a variety of capacities. In addition to winding capacity, they also offer extra storage space, in which, for example, quartz or mechanical watches can be stored. In the Benson Black Series II Pro, these can be found in the form of a drawer at the bottom of the watch winders, in the other models under the luxurious soft close lid at the top of the watch winders. The Benson Black Series II are equipped with high-quality Japanese motors. These motors ensure the winding of every brand and type of automatic watch without any problems. Moreover, they do this in an energy-efficient and silent manner, which certainly benefits the user comfort of these watch winders.

The Benson Black Series II watch winders are also equipped with a modern start/stop system. This means that it is no longer a problem if you forget to switch off the motor before you open the door of the watch winder. The special start/stop system ensures that the motor switches off automatically when the door is opened. When the door is closed again, the winding process simply continues where it left off. The Benson Black Series II watch winders are also fully adjustable. For example, you can set the direction of rotation and the number of rotations for each watch separately using the handy touchscreen.

The Benson Black Series II also comes with a handy remote control, which also allows you to easily set the watch winder. The touchscreen of the new generation Benson Black Series II does not remain on all the time, like its predecessor. This saves energy. When you want to use the screen again, you only have to touch it. You can then operate the watch winder again in the blink of an eye.

In addition to the extra storage space, the Benson Black Series II offer another nice plus. For example, they are equipped with built-in LED lighting with which you can put your automatic watches in the spotlight. With the Benson Black Series II, this even concerns multi-color lighting, so you can illuminate your watches in different colors. In addition to the CW, CC and Alt programs, a USB connection and overwind protection, the Benson Black Series II watch winders also offer a handy speed winding function. This allows you to provide your automatic watches with the necessary energy in a short time, ideal if you do not have much time. The power supply of these watch winders is via mains power, using an adapter. The current Benson Black Series and new Benson Black Series II come with a two-year warranty. In addition, you will receive these watch winders at home in a luxury packaging with manual and certificate.

Benson presented the new Benson Black Series II models at the end of last year. The Dutch brand builds on the success of the first generation of the Benson Black Series, and that is why this second series is also very interesting for many enthusiasts and/or collectors of automatic watches.

With these watch winders you really choose the whole picture, both in terms of appearance, quality and functionality. Moreover, you certainly do not pay the main price for these high-quality watch winders, which is of course pleasant for the wallet.
