Superocean 44 TPD & Winder Settings | Swiss Watch Store
The Breitling Superocean 44 is an automatic watch: it winds itself from the motion of your wrist, but on the days it sits unworn a watch winder keeps the mainspring topped up. This model carries reference A17376211L2. It is powered by the Breitling Calibre B17 movement. Below you'll find the exact TPD setting and winding direction the Superocean 44 needs.
TPD and Winding Direction
The correct setting for the Superocean 44 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 B17 |
Why the Correct Setting Matters
The correct TPD mirrors what your wrist would do naturally across a normal day. It holds the mainspring at a healthy charge so the Superocean 44 runs at its best and is ready to wear at a moment's notice — exactly what a watch winder is for.
Don't worry if you're unsure — you can't break a modern automatic with the wrong winder setting; the slipping bridle on the mainspring makes overwinding impossible. The right setting just keeps everything running at its best.
Choosing a Watch Winder for the Superocean 44
For the Superocean 44, 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.
