The Serious Helicopter Summoner - Breitling Emergency Watch

This must be one of the coolest watches in the world. Because you can call a helicopter to pick you up when activating the built-in radio transmitter. What a watch! This is why they are called Breitling Emergency watches. Breitling is always proud to be the luxury watchmaker that produces "instruments for professionals". The Breitling Emergency watches are just one of such typical watches that feature strong professional style. Tailor-made for pilots and air-crews, the Emergency contains a microtransmitter broadcasting on the 121.5 MHz distress frequency, which is monitored by Cospas-Sarsat, an international search-and-rescue operation.

When a pilot encounters emergency situations such as a crash or forced landing, he can activate the transmitter by removing a cap on the watch which releases an antenna. The transmitter can then broadcast radio signals for 48 hours, serving as a complement to the beacons carried aboard aircraft. Under normal circumstance-flat terrain or calm seas-the signal can be detected at a range of up to 160 kilometers (90 nautical miles) by search aircraft flying at 6,000 meters (20,000 feet).

In 2003, Breitling Emergency watch attracted huge attention and proved its value by saving two British pilots' lives. Steve Brooks and Hugh Quentin-Smith, crashed their helicopter in Antarctica. They activated the watch transmitter and stayed in their lifeboat. A Chilean Otter aircraft found them after homing in on signals from their watches and rescued them.

Needless to say, such a life savior watch is coveted by a lot of people and watch fans in addition to professionals such as pilots. The good news is that Breitling Emergency is available for non-professional customers who do not hold a pilot's license. But in order to prevent the false triggering of the distress beacon, customers must sign an agreement stating that they will bear the full costs of a rescue operation should they trigger the alert. And people who abuse the alert would be defined as making false alarm and will be subject to extremely steep fines. However, you can test the alarm according to strict procedures.

Some may feel too stressed to wear a Breitling Emergency watch as it is very serious watch. It must be a disaster for you if your child accidentally activate the transmitter for you. If you don't want to be disturbed by a self-invited helicopter during your holiday, why not wear a replica Breitling Emergency watch?

The Breitling Emergency replica watch features the exact appearance of the real thing but is lack of the built-in microtransmitter. So you don't need to worry that you'll trigger an Emergency helicopter service that would spoil your vacation. And replica Breitling Emergency watches are much cheaper than the authentic counterparts. If you want to familiarize yourself with such a special watch, Breitling Emergency replica watches are your ideal choice.
