Breitling watches are available in a wide variety of models, including both quartz and entirely mechanical versions. The best-known model of all Breitling watches, however, may be the Breitling Emergency. Designed specifically for use by pilots and aircrews, this watch is equipped with a special emergency transmitter than can be activated in case of a distress situation.
Breitling has a long association with the aviation industry. The company was founded in 1884. In 1915, Breitling invented the first chronograph wristwatch, which was given to many pilots. Today, Breitling is synonymous with pilot’s watches and the distinctive watches can be seen gracing the wrists of many professional and amateur aviators. Next time you are at an airport, keep a look out for the distinctive Breitling Emergency watch that many pilots will be wearing.
About The Breitling Professional Emergency Watch
The Breitling Emergency wristwatch is not your normal watch. This watch veers into James Bond territory. With its in built micro transmitter, you can just imagine giving this to James Bond. The watch goes along with his Lotus Esprit car that transformed into a submarine and fired missiles out of the rear at unwary passing helicopters. This is a professional watch and it is important to note that it is not designed for leisure use.
The built in micro transmitter broadcasts on the 121.5 MHz aircraft emergency frequency. If a pilot is to crash land an airplane, he is able to activate the micro transmitter which will alert search and rescue. The micro transmitter is activated by removing a cap on the watch which releases an antenna. The distress frequency has a range of approximately 100 miles and transmits on the frequency that is monitored by Cospas-Sarsat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an international search-and-rescue operation. The rescue signal will remain operational for 48 hours. This is a watch that saves lives. In 1995 the Breitling Emergency wristwatch saved the lives of 13 people aboard the Mata-Rangi raft.
It is very important to note that the radio transmitter should not be set off in error. There are extremely steep fines for such an occurrence which would be defined by the Federal Aviation Administration as a false alarm. The information that comes with the watch includes details of how the alarm should be tested.
