Super AVI B04 Chronograph GMT 46 TPD & Winder Settings | Swiss Watch Store
Left unworn, the Breitling Super AVI B04 Chronograph GMT 46 will run down within a couple of days — a correctly set watch winder stops that happening. This model carries reference AB04451A1L1P1. It is powered by the Breitling Calibre B04 movement. Here is the TPD and direction this model calls for.
TPD and Winding Direction
The correct setting for the Super AVI B04 Chronograph GMT 46 is 650 turns per day, bidirectional: 650 turns per day with the rotor turning in both directions.
| Turns per day (TPD) | 650 |
| Rotation direction | Bidirectional |
| Movement | Breitling Calibre B04 |
Why the Correct Setting Matters
An automatic watch is only as accurate as its power reserve allows. Keep the mainspring properly tensioned and the Super AVI B04 Chronograph GMT 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 Super AVI B04 Chronograph GMT 46
For the Super AVI B04 Chronograph GMT 46, look for a programmable winder offering a 650 TPD bidirectional programme. One watch? A single winder. Two or more automatics? A double or triple winder keeps the whole rotation ready. You'll find suitable models in our watch winder collection — check the programme list before you buy.
