Breitling Emergency II with dual-frequency distress beacon
Breitling Emergency II is an improved version of the famous distress signal watch. It can broadcast on two frequencies, allowing it to send signals to the satellite-based Cospas-Sarsat distress alert system.
The original Breitling Emergency Rescue was launched in 1995 with a built-in personal location beacon (PLB) that can send distress signals on demand, designed for those unfortunately trapped in remote and desolate places. But since then, the international standard for distress signals has changed, and Breitling Emergency II aims to ensure that anyone who needs to use this type of watch can hear it. Like the original Emergency, the new Emergency II broadcasts distress signals at a frequency of 121.5 MHz, which can be received on land, ships, and airplanes. However, Emergency II also emits a 406 MHz signal, which means that the satellites of the Cospas-Sarsat system can receive it. Cospas-Sarsat is a multinational search and rescue satellite system (SAR) consisting of five geostationary satellites and six low-Earth polar orbiting satellites.Devon TREAD 2 Shining Black
The distress signal is transmitted from the watch through the two antennas on the lower part of the case. The cover on the right side of the housing must be unscrewed and pulled out to extend the main antenna and loosen the cover on the second antenna from the left.
In case the wearer forgets how to operate the transmitter, instructions will be engraved on the back of the watch.
After the setting is completed, Emergency II will alternately play the distress signal between the two frequencies within 24 hours. The first signal is sent on the 406 MHz frequency used for satellites and lasts 0.44 seconds every 50 seconds, while the second signal on 121.5 MHz lasts 0.75 seconds every 2.25 seconds. The transmitter has its own rechargeable battery, which has a battery life of more than 18 hours at -20 °C and more than 24 hours at +20 °C (bad news for those trapped in cold places). This is charged by a special unit that both charges the transmitter and tests the transmitter to make sure it is working well.copy men watches
Separate from the distress signal transmission unit is the watch movement, which is powered by a thermally compensated quartz movement. It has the usual electronic functions, including 1/1000 second stopwatch, countdown, etc. The watch can operate in a temperature range of –20 °C to +55 °C and is water-resistant to 50 m. The case is made of titanium with a diameter of 51 mm. It can be matched with a titanium bracelet or rubber strap, with a yellow, orange or black dial. This means that once the search and rescue team arrives in the area, they only need to find the huge brightly colored watches, which should be easy.
Although its usefulness is questionable, Breitling emergency situations, both old and new, are a very, very cool gadget. Richard Mille RM 035 Rafael Nadal
