The Emergency II is still available from luxury fake Breitling but in short supply. Due to the insurance of providing an emergency distress beacon, there are extensive insurance forms to read and sign before purchase. Hence, the new Emergency IIs are only available in-store. For special pre-owned models, 1:1 replica Breitling UK released the Emergency Orbiter 3 in 2000 to commemorate Jones and Piccard’s balloon flight. Like many special Emergency models, the Orbiter 3 features a unique insignia on the dial for a limited run of 1,999 pieces to mark the year of the flight. You can still find the occasional model on Chrono24, such as this listing.

For me, the orange-dialed Breitling Emergency replica for men worn by Brian Jones during the flight is more authentic to the mission. You can find it pre-owned on Chrono24 here. In either version, please heed the warnings on the case back about using this pin, though. Also, in some areas of the world, such as Australia, 121.5MHz is no longer detected by satellite. And from my own experience, aaa quality copy Breitling will insist on a complete service for quartz watches over ten years old, even if it only needs a battery change. Service costs will vary depending on what is required but can add a lot to the total price of the watch.

Breitling Cockpit B50 Orbiter Limited Edition
At Baselworld 2019, Swiss made replica Breitling marked 20 years since the first round-the-world balloon flight with the Breitling Cockpit B50 Orbiter Limited Edition of 213 pieces. While not an aaa quality copy Breitling Emergency watch, it caters to those who don’t need the beacon technology but want the look in a smaller package. The styling, however, still pays respect to the daring Orbiter 3 mission. As you can imagine, all 213 pieces sold quickly, but few examples are available on Chrono24 at a premium of €10K over the original €7,950 RRP.

An emergency survival situation
In 2003, British ace helicopter pilot Quentin Smith and co-pilot Steve Brooks attempted the treacherous Drake Passage, a stretch of ocean between Antarctica and South America’s Cape Horn (of Shackleton fame). When the two were 450 miles into their 550-mile journey, the helicopter’s motor went silent, and the chopper went into autorotation — a slow descent akin to a plane gliding to ditch.

Deploying and steadying the raft in the rough and freezing seas was the priority, but after an hour, marking the location was the next. Quentin pulled the pin in his orange-dialed titanium high quality replica Breitling Emergency, and the 121.5 MHz beacon signaled to the nearest response teams. Both pilots were rescued within nine hours despite being a moving signal in a 500mi2 body of water. There is no doubt the Breitling aided in their safe return.

In production since 2013, the Emergency II is the latest Professional survivor’s watch from top super clone Breitling, with more sophisticated frequency ranges and durable battery technology. The Aerospace suite of functions — chronograph, timer, alarm, calendar, minute repeater, and dual time — all feature on the Emergency II. But for €14,860, you get the sense that most of the cost is the insurance for the global rescue service. Real professionals may get an operational discount, however. Breitling fake for sale UK has made efforts to miniaturize the inner workings as much as possible. But with 51mm diameter and considerable thickness, it won’t suit all wrists.

We might be seeing the Breitling Emergency II replica online disappear from the store windows. This exodus may have already begun. But if you get the chance, it’s worth trying one on. And if you’ve always fancied one, now’s the time to pick one up. You can find out more about the high end copy Breitling Emergency here.
