The **Emergency** is an [[expedition watch]] by [[Breitling]], which was first introduced to the market in [[1995]]. It is a watch with [[quartz movement]], especially developed for adventurers and researchers. Via a built-in miniature transmitter it can establish contact with the outside world on the aviation emergency frequency 121.5 MHz. In flat terrain or at quiet sea a person can be located from a rescue plane, flying at 6,000 m, up to a distance of 167 km.

Thus in [[2003]] the two British pilots Steve Brooks and Hugh Quentin-Smith could be rescued after a crash of their helicopter in the Antarctic after activating their Breitling Emergency(([[http://www.timezone.com/library/news/news631795494389687500|Breitling Emergency Watch Aids in Rescue (Timezone.com)]] )). The world-famous American adventurer and millionaire Steve Fossett, in turn, also owned such a watch, but when he was lost at his flight on 3 September [[2007]], did not wear it at that time.
