Breitling is renowned for crafting some of the most robust watches, including watches designed to save lives. In 1995, Breitling launched an Emergency feature designed specifically built for pilots, aircrew, and anyone else who might suddenly be in an emergency situation. The watch is capable of sending an emergency transmitter that sends an S.O.S signal to the emergency services.

The Ref. J56321 18k White Gold and Diamond is a limited edition produced at only 25 pieces and juxtaposes the luxurious elements of watchmaking with the iconic features that has turned Breitling into one of the most sought-after brands.

Measurements: The inner circumference of the watch measures approximately 6 1/2 inches.

Overall Condition: The watch is not running at the time of cataloguing, it was not tested for the accuracy of time or antenna signal and will need a Breitling quartz service at the buyer's discretion. Hindman does not guarantee the future working of the movement or antenna signal. Please note buyer is responsible for contacting Breitling to transfer ownership for emergency functionality.

Please note that Hindman does not warranty the watch at the time of the auction or after its purchase. Potential buyers should be advised that though the watch may be running at the time of cataloging, it may stop running before the auction and servicing is recommended for all timepieces.
