ENGINEERED FOR THE UNEXPECTED
The Breitling Emergency Mission represents a remarkable intersection of Swiss watchmaking and aviation technology. Developed for pilots and adventurers, the Emergency collection introduced an extraordinary feature to the wristwatch: an integrated emergency distress transmitter designed to assist search-and-rescue operations. The Mission expands on this pioneering concept with a professional chronograph, combining precision timing with a potentially lifesaving aviation instrument.
This 2006 example features a bold 45 mm case and a crisp white dial with contrasting chronograph registers, offering excellent legibility and a distinctly technical aesthetic. Powered by Breitling's chronometer-certified SuperQuartz caliber 73, it combines stopwatch and date functions with the collection's signature emergency transmitter. Accompanied by its original box and papers, the Emergency Mission stands apart as a watch whose engineering extends well beyond conventional timekeeping.
HISTORICAL & COLLECTIBLE SIGNIFICANCE
The Emergency collection occupies a unique place in modern horology, recognized for bringing personal distress-beacon technology into a wrist-worn instrument. The Emergency Mission is especially distinctive for integrating a chronograph into this specialized design, making it an intriguing choice for collectors drawn to aviation history, unconventional complications, and purpose-built watches.
