Chronograph Watch

Description If you re an aviator plagued with worry about what might happen in the event of a crisis, purchasing a Breitling Emergency Dial Watch might ease your mind. Breitling has a long history of dedication to precision chronometers, and were the first to submit their models to the rigorous Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (or COSC) in 1999. The Breitling Emergency not only continues this history, but takes an extra step toward professional safety by providing a built-in micro-transmitter whose broadcasts can be received by emergency rescue aircraft. The Breitling Emergency Dial Watch helped to save British pilots Steve Brooks and Hugh Quentin-Smith when their helicopter went down in Antarctica, and it has helped many others. Here s how it works: in the event of an emergency, the user twists of the large cap at the bottom right of the case and pulls out the wound antenna within. This releases a signal at 121.5 MHz the frequency used to finding victims with search-and-rescue homing devices. This signal alone will operate for up to 48 hours, and can be picked up within 100 miles of the watch, provided that the ocean or land is flat and that searching aircrafts are flying at about 20,000 ft. When used to complement the aircraft s own distress signaling equipment, it can increase the pilot s chance of being found. Once the emergency feature is used, the watch may be sent back to the factory to replace it at no cost provided that there actually was an emergency. The Brietling Emergency is made with titanium (though the wristbands also may come in leather), making this 44mm diameter, 15.7 mm thick dial watch a light but durable 86.6 grams. Its glass is made of sapphire and glare-proofed, its bezel a compass scale with 10-degree increments. It features thermo-compensated quartz electronic, analog, and 12/24 hour LCD digital display, as well as an EOL (end of battery life indicator) and a digital calendar with the day and date programmed for four years.
