Emergency Watch

Do you keep finding yourself in dangerous situations where no one is around to help? Perhaps you keep crashing your yacht or getting lost in a jungle. The bad news is that cell phone reception rarely reaches to the middle of the ocean, jungle, or other remote locations where horrible things tend to happen.

If this sounds like a regular day at the office for you, consider picking up a Breitling Emergency Watch. This fine piece of engineering not only tells time, but if something goes awry, it can transmit a 121.5 MHz aircraft distress signal up to 100 miles.

The signal lasts for two days; if you're not rescued in that time, better figured out which of your expedition buddies you're going to eat first.
