Perhaps the most well known feature of the Emergency version is that it contains a radio transmitter for civil aviation use which broadcasts on the 121.5 MHz distress frequency and serves as a back-up for ELT-type airborne beacons.

Retail prices for Breitling Emergency watches vary according to the model you choose, with $6000 being the average cost for a basic model Emergency.
