The company always hailed new ideas and earned a name for themselves as specialists in watch making for the aviation industry. They were authorized providers of horological instruments for the various purposes of flying to the Royal Air Force and the American Air Force. The legendry models Chronomat and Navitimer were produced with an aviation flavor.

One of the glorious movements in the history of Breitling is the flight of astronaut Scott Carpenter into the space in 1962 wearing Cosmonaute Chronograph. Aviation oriented watches like Aerospace and Emergency witness the abiding interest of the company in flying. The model Emergency is a multifunctional chronograph with in-built micro-transmitter which can broadcast in aircraft emergency frequency if needed.

The brand built their models with the aviation industry in mind. This functional aspect of flying calls for accuracy and efficiency in the most trying situations. The rugged

perfection of the watches fit for the magnificent men in their flying machines has made the Breitling a highly romanticized watch.

Breitling Emergency and Emergency Mission

In the perilous adventures of Caroline Hamilton Breitling Emergency was her life line. Record breaking polar explorer, she was the part of the first all-women team to explore both North and South poles. Hauling sledges of enormous weight she covered many miles of the North and South poles in 2000. In her Everest expedition when she fell into a crevasse the most reliable companion she had was the Breitling emergency watch equipped with a transmitter that can send a distress signal on the emergency 121.5 MHz frequency. The watch has already saved the lives of some 23 people in distressing situations.

 A $6000 price tag is perhaps something that is possible for many. However, owning it is not a child’s play. The prospective buyers of the Breitling Emergency watches have to go through training sessions and then execute a legally binding document agreeing to the terms and conditions of use. The product targets the niche area of airplane pilots and adventure travelers. The watch has a unique micro transmitter that sends signals to the international aviation frequency. This gives an additional opportunity to survive, faced with a hazardous situation. The special nature of the watch forces the company to sell them only to specialized customers who will not make the special feature of the watch an opportunity for reckless and childish escapade. Of, course it is not the most expensive Breitling product. But due to this unique feature the watch has invited the attention of many people.

There are two versions of these to choose from. The version named Emergency is aimed at the professional pilots and the model called Emergency Mission is targeted towards the civilians who are private pilots and others in the adventure sports. The watch is not a fanciful gimmick. It has already saved many lives and has accompanied travelers into the poles and in the trackless ranges of the Himalayas.
