Breitling Professional Mission Emergency Yellow Titanium E56121.1
Breitling Professional Mission Emergency Yellow Titanium E56121.1
A watch unlike any other, the Emergency series from Breitling is a 90's icon and has had a resurgence in popularity along with everything else that is 90's cool.
Breitling are masters of the analogue/quartz watch, blending legibility and functionality like few others with models like the Chronospace and Aerospace. The Emergency is not dissimilar to these models, but has a party trick; It is a watch with a built-in micro-transmitter broadcasting on the 121.5 MHz aircraft emergency frequency and is designed to complement the distress signalling equipment of any aircraft. Following a crash the 'Emergency' will broadcast a signal on which rescuers can home in. The transmitter is activated (for 48 hours) by unscrewing a protective cap and pulling the antenna out fully. Over flat terrain or calm seas, the transmitter signal has a range of about 160Km (assuming the search aircraft is flying at an altitude of 6000m). Pretty cool.
The titanium case measures in at 43mm, with a lug to lug of 50.8mm and a thickness of 15.5mm. It houses the very desirable yellow dial, and is powered by the Breitling 56 calibre Quartz movement.
This particular piece was first sold in 2004 and presents in excellent neo-vintage condition. The case is extremely clean, with minor hairlines present, and a few small nicks along the lower left bevel line of the left lug, and another small nick on the lower right lug. They're very small, but there. The case back shows osme minor scratching, and rear of the lugs show small strap change marks. See images for full condition details.
The bracelet is currently sized to suit a 7.6in wrist. It shows some desk dive marks, and minor rub marks, but very clean overall. No extra links included.
Last service/battery change is unknown. The digital displays flash, so possibly due a battery change soon.
Comes as an extremely full collectors set. Includes plastic case, VHS, instruction booklet, distributors booklet, warranty card dated 2004 (expired), service card from 2007, bezel protector, Chronometre certificate, testing unit, screwdriver and Watch vault cleaning cloth.
Emergencies don't get much better than this.
