Breitling have
offered the best watch for pilots as a giveaway on
the show when we go to air.
The Breitling Emergency version contains a radio
transmitter for civil aviation that serves as a
back-up for ELT-type airborne beacons.
In an incident that demonstrates how the Emergency can be used to save lives, Reuters reports that two British pilots, Squadron Leader Steve Brooks and Flight Lieutenant Hugh Quentin-Smith, crashed their helicopter in Antarctica and were rescued after activating their Breitling Emergency transmitter watches. The two pilots were in their lifeboat when a Chilean Otter aircraft found them after homing in on signals from their watches.
