Why The Breitling Emergency Is Not A Toy...

[@calenriggs8736]

I actually have this watch because of this feature. I do a lot of hiking in remote places where cell service isn’t always available, so this watch and functionality is my safety blanket. It’s not a cheap watch, but my life certainly isn’t cheap either.

What a great idea - put a PLB in a watch! If I ever end up flying commercially, this will more than likely be high in my shopping list.

Please check breitling website, they have a video there explaining how the emergency module works, you basically pull the nob and there is a coiled wire that works as an antenna, then it starts transmitting in an emergency frequency which your local airport can pickup and send rescue, They even request not to use it for mischief(imagine you use it and you got this huge rescue force land at your location just to find you eating cookie and drinking milk) this is high tech and a true innovative feature in my opinion also considering it uses satellite communication, It may save someone's life in an emergency situation, I would love to see more high-end watch makers use this feature on their watches because when the time comes that 10-20k watch can surely come in handy.

[@CMyOnes]

So if someone had this watch and survived a commercial plane crash like (MH370). A rescue would be sent? Does this watch work similar to a black box

[@vinishshetty8055]

CMyOnes hi, not like a black box but like a signaling device, It transmits at a specific frequency, you need to activate it manually by pulling the nob

[@233kosta]

CMyOnes I think the more likely scenario for its use is a light aircraft suffering a manageable failure away from immediate help, i.e. fuel contamination in the middle of nowhere, or you lose electrics and ignition, so can't radio for help. You can just about land it, but you have no food, no water and no bear gun. SAR is likely on its way, but unless you climb a tree, they can only see the wreckage. If you're stuck there for more than a day, you need a water supply, so you _have_ to move away from the wreckage. Having a PLB on you means they can pinpoint your position and send a helicopter within visual range to pick you up right away. Otherwise the SAR spotter aircraft has to fly search patterns and go over the entire area. If there's no food or water supply nearby, you could die of dehydration by the time they get there. A "black box" on the other hand serves a different function. Actually, there are two - a cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and a flight data recorder (FDR), both of which are used to record events in the lead up to an incident. A secondary function in both is transmitting their location on the same principle as the PLB as well as with a pinger, which will be heard on sonar if the recorder ended up in a body of water. Both signalling devices are powered by batteries stored with the module and are activated if their connection with the main power source (aircraft) is severed or if a high enough load factor (i.e. over X Gs) is encountered. Batteries are certified for 30 days continuous transmission if activated within the service life of a module, likely more if they're brand new.

[@chaosncheckt9356]

Interesting video. I don't think this watch or rather the frequency of the emergency beacon is effective in the U.S. and that was the reason the watch was discontinued. There were two version, one which broadcasted on the civilian emergency frequency and cost about $3600 and another in gunmetal which broadcasted on the U.S. military SAR frequency which cost around $6500. One you could purchase and the other was only available in group orders to government organizations. I just saw the new version of this was approved for sale in the U.S. to the tune of $15, 380 dollars. I got a chance to look at one at an upscale watch store in Virginia. An impressive watch, but much and I mean much larger than the older versions.

[@KandiKlover]

Much larger and need to be charged every couple month.

[@BlueLineSpeed]

All commercial aircraft worldwide continuously monitor 121.5 on their secondary radio. If an ELT signal is received, we relay the information to Air Traffic Control who can follow up with SAR Facilities. If you are reported missing or are known to be in distress SAR units can still track 121.5/243 MHz for location finding. You are correct in that Satellites no longer track 121.5/243 Mhz distress signal due to new more reliable technology available. Newer ELT’s and technology transmit on 406 Mhz.

Hii i have same watch but on the left is written p.a.n frecce tricolour can I know something about it because their is not information about it on internet and unfortunately I don't have its any paper or something

[@waldopepper4069]

i may be wrong but i recall reading that these have become somewhat obsolete due to the international rescue frequency having changed in the last few years? i was about to buy one but decided against it when i read this. but please correct me if im wrong ?

[@danm6665]

121.5 MHz is still the civilian aviation emergency frequency, at least in the U.S, as of today. Although I doubt it's different in the majority of the world.

[@kristianwinkel7724]

Most of the world has now changed to 406 MHz

[@danm6665]

+Kristian Winkel but 406 MHz is well beyond the the band used by aviation radio coms (~118-139 MHz). Using 406 MHz would mean that regular aircraft will not be able to hear an ELT going off, which is a setback.

[@kristianwinkel7724]

+Dan M true 406MHz cannot be monitored by aircraft, it is monitored by satellite and passed to a ground station who dispatches SAR. The satellite can triangulate the position to under 1NM so SAR aircraft already know your position. 121.5 can only be triangulated to 15NM at best and the satellites only cover 2/3 of the world... 121.5 can however be tracked by a direction finder on land or by aircraft......... 121.5 only transmits .1W giving it a max range of 1700NM but 406 uses 5W giving worldwide coverage. 406MHz beacons are also coded to the user and can contain contact details for yourself and next of kin, 121.5 cannot Note: aircraft are not required to monitor 121.5. Note: as of Feb 2009 121.5MHz satellites were turned off and are no longer monitored by SAR organisations. Note: most 406 beacons also transmit 121.5 to be used as a homing beacon by aircraft.

[@danm6665]

+Kristian Winkel damn satellites are everywhere. First GPS and now ADS-B and this. Although it seems very convenient, I don't know if I like such reliance on them. I don't know why, but I get this feeling of precariousness when I hear about such systems. Maybe I'm but an ignorant oaf.

My question is, what happens if your arm or hand is pinned or severed?

[@harrisonsmith4625]

Vaughn M. Sams If any of your limbs were severed, and are in a situation that you would actually need to use this watch, you would be long dead by the time any SAR gets to you

[@233kosta]

Vaughn M. Sams If you lose a limb I don't think a PLB would be much good to you anyway

Maybe designers should build in an emergency beacon into each parachute, if this is a real world problem for professional pilots? IDK Im just an engineer. Cool gadget but way overpriced.

If you're an engineer, you probably own an overpriced calculator, overpriced pen, or just an overpriced laptop. All a pilot wears is a jumpsuit, at least give them something overpriced they can own.

Erik Lona that doesnt make sense, a watch for the price of a laptop is just overpriced, not the other way around.

Add it to phones I know Apple watch has a call emergency if you fall or the watch detected a stroke well we don't need a watch just call it the emergency watch that shows the date and time you died lol and what you died from oviusly the watch can't predict murder but natural death then yes £500 for a watch that detects and sends help should also have a built in satilite function to call for help apple could just make a emergency

@@tijnblub6221 I'm a game developer and a laptop is overpriced even to me. You pay 2000ish dollars minimum for a decent laptop, and it becomes obsolete within 3 years, but a decent watch would last way longer as long as you service it every couple years.

[@joeeastwood6472]

for this price I hope the rescuers also bring a good sandwich (or wrap)...

[@Jack_The_Ripper_Here]

so if i pull that thing out, who's going to come? where does the alarm go off?

[@dymproductions]

Good question. I guess the frequency they were mentioning is picked up by a variety of satellites in the air and company's would alert the country responsible. That's my assumption.

[@mikaellindstrom9526]

I would assume it is transmitted on the same frequency as an ELT. So search and rescue in the local area would come and search.

[@mehmetcoban2886]

E I N S I've read on the site of Breitling that the signal get's received at the nearby airport and then u just hope they'll send help in time.

[@chaosncheckt9356]

+E I N S I had a friend who had one of the older models. He had to register it for some identification reason. He was never sure if that meant if he activated it, they would know it was his watch and not another Breitling.

[@dymproductions]

***** I guess that process allows for easier search as the identity can be traced and next of kin can be interviewed etc etc.

[@johnlucas9675]

If we pull it once, then we can put it back ?

[@RobinsM]

joshua charly Ehh not really. Once you pull it out the knob is just sitting on the ends of a long coil you extend out which acts at the antenna. Not sure you can stop the signal after that.

[@johnlucas9675]

that means we can use this watch only once ??

[@RobinsM]

joshua charly Well the signal will transmit till the battery dies (48 hours) i'm guessing you could go into a Breitling store too have the battery replaced and transmitter reset.

[@johnlucas9675]

Thanks Ruben

[@chrissyboi88b]

joshua charly It doesn't matter dude because if you have needed to pull it, you can be pretty sure it is because you are lost and your life is endanger so I don't think it will matter too much, you will be happy your alive. I am planning on sailing around the world and this is 1st on my shopping list, I don't care if once It has been activated its toast as I would be lost at sea and waiting for rescue.
