Bonsoir à tous,
je ne suis pas sûre de bien comprendre "as fitted to" dans la phrase suivante :
"The watch carriers are as fitted to the rest of the Y series".
Est-ce que ça signifie que le porte-montre est assorti aux autres porte-montres de la série ?
Merci d'avance et bonne soirée :)

It's important to analyse this the right way round.
"The watch carriers [on the watches we are talking about here] are [the same] as [those that are] fitted to the rest of the Y series"
This is typical EN 'streamlining', but does take a bit of unravelling ;-)

sont équipés de la même manière
que les autres de la série Optima
"These ranges also incorporate the next generation of technology in the winder mechanisms - they can be set to revolve in one direction only (clockwise or anti-clockwise) or in a combination of both directions and there is an infinite control on the speed of rotation. These elements of control are vital for certain types of automatic watches and you should refer to manufacturers recommendations to obtain optimum results from your watch winder."
