Orbita may not have the best Italian leather and silk, nor may it have the portable Underwood modules, but altogether, it's the best package, and at the best price.
I would assume that the cushion on the Orbita is the same used for their other winders, but don't know that first hand.
I followed Orbita's guidance on their site regarding direction and number of rotations for the specific calibers I own (they are THAT thorough), and my VC Overseas, BP Monaco, and Breguet Trans XX are all within +0.5 to +1.5 seconds over a full 24 hours.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Rhythmical Office
The reason for the name lay in the fact that originally the antiphons or the responses, and sometimes the two together, served to amplify or comment upon the history of a saint, of which there was a brief sketch in the readings of the second nocturn.
The structure of the ordinary office of the Breviary in which antiphons, psalms, hymns, lessons, and responses followed one another in fixed order, was the natural form for the rhythmical office.
Antiphona I: Orbita solaris præsentia gaudia confert Præsulis eximii Lantberti gesta revolvens.

The SS Orbita, the SS Reina del Pacifico and the SS Georgic followed the Windrush.
In the circumstances 'the mother country' was an expression that reflected Britain's central role and its influence in shaping the life of the colonies.
In the beginning most of the migrants were men, (according to popular legend there was one woman stowaway among the Caribbeans on the SS Empire Windrush), but the proportion increased throughout the fifties as male family members established themselves and accumulated the resources they needed to bring over their wives and children.

Reasons for the gap can be put down to the initial strangeness and the settling down to the arduous routine of a troopship at sea, the sheer boredom of the Atlantic, and of course sea sickness, as the ocean was rough for much of the time.
The steamship SS Orbita, 15,495 tons, was commissioned in 1914 by the Pacific Steam Navigation Company as a Royal Mail mailship.

 BBC - WW2 People's War - Troopship Diary - A1071802
The diarist (DCW) was a member of the RAF contingent on the “ss Orbita” 1, a troopship in WW2.
Reasons for the gap can be put down to the initial strangeness and the settling down to the arduous routine of a troopship at sea and the sheer boredom of the Atlantic with only the sea to look at, and of course sea sickness, as the ocean was rough for much of the time.
On boarding “ss Orbita” (see Day 1 of the diary) the situation was indeed bleak.

A consortium of Brazilian firms known as Orbita was trying to develop a medium-range missile based on the Sonda-IV space rocket with foreign financing.
As a missile, the rocket could carry a 500 kilogram payload up to 1,800 kilometers, almost as far as the U.S. Pershing II missile.
Cardoso wants to join the MTCR." Orbita, the consortium formed in 1987 to convert the Sonda-IV space rocket into a missile, is defunct and so is Engesa, another firm that geared up its missile business at roughly the same time.

From this Atlantic port we were shipped to England in a freighter, a rocky old tub named the SS Orbita.

The Orbita had a singularly calm and pleasant voyage, but the submarine “wolf packs” got the next convoy to leave Canada, sinking sixteen out of seventy ships.
