Breitling introduced the Emergency watch in 1995 as the first wristwatch with integrated micro-transmitter broadcasting on the 121.5 MHz international air distress frequency. Designed for professional aviators and adventurers, the Emergency serves as personal locator beacon when activated. The dual-antenna system can transmit distress signals for up to 48 hours across a radius of approximately 90 nautical miles. Breitling Caliber 73 SuperQuartz movement delivers ten times the accuracy of standard quartz with COSC chronometer certification. The Emergency Mission represents Breitling's commitment to instruments for professionals combining precision timekeeping with life-saving technology. These watches remain functional tools for pilots, astronauts, and rescue personnel while maintaining collector interest for their unique emergency capability.
