All newer production models do. Some very old automatics do not, but anything in Omega's current catalog does.

I have three single watch winders from Steinhausen. After my bad luck with the Sharper Image ones, I decided I would not invest in dual winders, since once it breaks you are left not being able to wind TWO watches. With single winders, even if one breaks, I still have two that work. Also, my Steinhausens are extremely quiet. I had an old piece of junk I bought on ebay that was so noisy it would keep me up at night. It broke within a couple months, too.
