The Breitling Emergency Orbiter 3 Limited Edition Watch E56321 commemorates the first non-stop balloon flight around the world, achieved in the Breitling-sponsored Orbiter 3. Limited to 1999 pieces, this watch has been crafted in titanium and features a blue dial.

As an instrument watch, the Breitling Emergency includes a built-in microtransmitter broadcasting on the aircraft emergency frequency. It complements an aircraft’s distress signal, broadcasting for 48 hours when the antenna is at full extension. Its signal range covers approximately 100 miles over flat terrain or calm seas. Despite the 121.5 mHz frequency no longer being monitored by satellites, it remains an effective locator beacon and distress signal once a person has been reported missing. Breitling highly recommends servicing the Emergency every two years for professional use.

Powering the watch is the Breitling Calibre 56, a super quartz movement accurate to within ±15 seconds per year, allowing both digital and analog functionalities. It also features a compass bezel and sapphire glass in its 43mm titanium case. The watch comes with the complete box set. Including a signed certificate and a B-shaped piece of shiny Mylar from the skin of the globe-circling Orbiter 3 balloon. Presenting the watch is a large plastic briefcase with the inscription “Warning: For Aeronautical Use Only,”. While also containing a thick manual and a small radio receiver for testing the beacon’s operation.
