So recently it came to our attention that the Breitling Emergency watch has some changes made to it’s distress frequency.The Breitling Emergency watch uses the 121.5 MHz distress frequency and the International Satellite System For Search and Rescue (COSPAS-SARSAT) will be terminating the 121.5 MHz emergency frequency satellite processing service on February 1st.So what does this mean for Breitling Emergency watch owners? Does this mean your current watch won’t have these features? That the Breitling Emergency watches won’t be for a�?emergenciesa�? anymore?No, if you were told that you were misinformed! This is how it works.?? COSPAS-SARSAT is terminating the satellite processing part of the 121.5 MHz which will affect boats, aviation, and personal beacons.?? However COSPAS-SARSAT won’t be terminating homing devices, which don’t rely on satellite, like the Breitling Emergency.So basically, your Breitling watch functions will still work.?? Because the Breitling Emergency watch is just to help locate you if you are in distress, and not meant to trigger an “alert” the new COSPAS-SARSAT changes won’t affect the Breitling Emergency Watch.For more information, here is the offical .pdf file released by Breitling.Via: Breitling
