Breitling launched the original Emergency in 1995 as the first wristwatch with a built-in personal distress transmitter, broadcasting on the 121.5 MHz aviation homing frequency the moment you unscrew the antenna cap at the case side. In 2013 Breitling replaced it with the Emergency II, a 51mm titanium watch carrying a true dual-frequency Cospas-Sarsat personal locator beacon that transmits on both 121.5 MHz for local homing and 406.040 MHz to the satellite network, the same standard used by aircraft ELTs and marine EPIRBs. We buy and sell these every year at 19 W 47th St, and we treat them differently than any other watch in the case, because a live 406 MHz beacon is a registered piece of rescue equipment, not just a wrist ornament. If you own one, or you want one, this is the watch where the spec sheet is the whole story.

Collector's Lore Collectors prize the Emergency for the same reason it exists: it is a watch that has demonstrably pulled people off ice floes and out of the water. The 2003 Antarctic helicopter rescue of Steve Brooks and Quentin Smith after nine hours in a life raft is the story every owner tells. The engineering lore is that Breitling spent years shrinking a 406 MHz satellite transmitter and a folding dual antenna down to wrist scale, a genuinely hard microelectronics problem, and that the Emergency II was the first wristwatch to clear it. The FCC saga is part of the legend too: it took roughly 18 months and a special waiver to make the Emergency II legal to sell in the United States, so early U.S. examples from 2015 carry a certain provenance. Among the dial choices, Volcano black is the everyday pick, Cobra yellow and Intrepid orange are the high-visibility rescue dials, and the black-titanium V76325 Night Mission is the one serious collectors chase, especially the co-branded limited editions.
