Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46 TPD & Winder Settings | Swiss Watch Store
An automatic like the Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46 only stays accurate while its mainspring holds charge. This model carries reference AB0137211G1P1. It is powered by the Breitling Calibre B01 movement. Set your winder to the figures below and the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46 stays wound, accurate and ready to pick up.
TPD and Winding Direction
The correct setting for the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46 is 800 turns per day, bidirectional: 800 turns per day with the rotor turning in both directions.
| Turns per day (TPD) | 800 |
| Rotation direction | Bidirectional |
| Movement | Breitling Calibre B01 |
Why the Correct Setting Matters
An automatic watch is only as accurate as its power reserve allows. Keep the mainspring properly tensioned and the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46 will hold its rate and be ready to wear the instant you pick it up — no resetting the time and date. Set the TPD too low and the watch can run down between wears. The movement will not be damaged (modern automatics have a slipping mainspring that prevents overwinding), but an under-wound watch is simply not doing its job. Correct settings are about accuracy and readiness, not safety.
Choosing a Watch Winder for the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46
The key feature to shop for is programmability: independent TPD and direction controls that cover 800 TPD bidirectional. Single-watch winders are ideal if the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46 flies solo; multi-watch winders make sense the moment you own two or more automatics. Our watch winder collection covers both.
