It was \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003edesigned specifically to serve as a high-reliability Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e This specific generation of the watch transmits on the 121.5 MHz international aviation distress frequency. This is an analogue frequency traditionally monitored by overhead commercial aircraft, military planes, and ground-based search and rescue (SAR) teams.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce activated, the watch sends out an amplitude-modulated signal pulse lasting 0.75 seconds, repeating every 2.25 seconds. Every 60 seconds, it automatically broadcasts the Morse code letter \"B\" (for Breitling) so search teams can instantly identify the unique signal type.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eUnder optimal conditions (flat terrain or open ocean), the signal can be detected across a 90 to 100-nautical-mile radius by search aircraft flying at 20,000 feet. On flat ground, rescue vehicles can pick up the signal from roughly 15 to 20 miles away.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe transmitter has a power output of 30 milliwatts. Driven by its own separate, dedicated power cell inside the case, it will continuously broadcast for 24 to 48 hours, depending heavily on the ambient temperature (extreme cold drains batteries faster).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhilst this feature is undoubtedly designed specifically for use by Pilots, Adventurer's etc, and is very unlikely to be required during normal day-to-day Civilian activities, it is a very cool and unique function and makes the Breitling Emergency the iconic watch it is.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe watch is powered by the \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eBreitling Caliber 73, a COSC-certified thermo-compensated SuperQuartz chronograph movement that provides \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ea three-register Chronograph featuring separate 12-hour, 30 minute and 60 second sub-dials.
