The Emergency is the world’s first wristwatch equipped with an authentic dual-frequency distress beacon. It’s the indispensable safety and survival instrument for adventurers on any given mission. Breitling has made a name for itself at the forefront of innovation by creating the Emergency. A marvel of miniaturization and technical sophistication, the Emergency is the first wristwatch to be equipped with an authentic dual-frequency distress beacon. Once activated, the distress beacon will emit an alert signal that will guide rescue operations. Available both in titanium and DLC-coated titanium, the Emergency features a black dial paired either with a matching titanium bracelet, or a rubber strap fitting a folding buckle. Powered by the Breitling Caliber 76, a COSC-certified SuperQuartz™ chronograph, the Emergency features a rechargeable battery, a miniaturized transmitter, and an original integrated antenna system.

History of Breitling
Breitling, founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling in Switzerland, has a rich history of innovation in watchmaking. The company quickly established itself as a leader in precision timers and chronographs, introducing significant advancements such as the first wrist-worn chronograph with an independent pusher in 1915. Under the leadership of three generations of the Breitling family, the brand became renowned for its aviation timepieces, launching the iconic Navitimer in 1952. Despite challenges from quartz technology in the 1970s, Breitling adapted and continued to innovate, introducing models like the Chronomat and Aerospace that combined traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology.
In recent years, Breitling has undergone a strategic repositioning under new ownership and leadership. While honoring its heritage, the brand has embraced modern design, sustainability, and digital innovation. Breitling has restructured its product portfolio around Air, Land, and Sea categories, reintroduced classic collections, and launched eco-friendly initiatives. The company has also ventured into digital realms with blockchain-based watch passports and a subscription service. These efforts have positioned Breitling as a forward-thinking brand that balances its storied past with contemporary consumer needs and values.
