BREITLING EMERGENCY MISSION:
THE "CIVILIAN" VERSION OF THE EMERGENCY
The Mission model is a second variation of the Emergency, the survival instrument synonymous with safety for pilots around the world. Thanks to its design which is closer to that of a traditional chronograph, the Emergency Mission affirms its character as a more civilian version than the original.
But beneath this tamer appearance, the Mission remains a formidably efficient instrument and the performances of its transmitter are equivalent to those of the distress beacons carried aboard aircraft.
By way of comparison, the average range of its signal - on flat terrain or at sea - reaches 90 nautical miles for a search plane flying at 20,000 feet. In optimal conditions, it can easily reach more than 200 nautical miles, meaning 360 kilometers!
This masterpiece of miniaturization is housed in a sturdy steel case fitted with a screw-locked crown and sapphire crystal glareproofed on both sides. The Emergency Mission is water-resistant to 10 bars/100 meters (330 ft).
Its chronograph is also able to measure short times to the nearest tenth of a second with split-time read-off.
