This page will contain discussion groups about Breitling, as they become available.BreitlingBreitling is a brand of Swiss watches from the Canton of Jura. The watchmaker offers Certified Chronometers designed primarily for aviation use. They typically have a large face (e.g. the Breitling for Bentley Motors edition has a 48 mm Case Diameter) for better visiblity and to allow display of more information on the analog dials. Many models feature an automatic winding mechanism that is purely mechanical (i.e. using no electronic components). Quartz models such as the Breitling Aeromarine Colt start at $1,650.00, while typical prices of mechanical, steel cased models are $7,300 (US) for the Breitling for Bentley Motors model. The expense is clearly in the 38 jewel self-winding movement as these steel cased models are more expensive than some of Breitling's Titanium or Gold models. The Breitling Emergency version contains a highly protected and powerful radio transmitter for civil aviation use. This broadcasts on the 121.5 MHz distress frequency and serves as a back-up for ELT-type airborne beacons. For military users, Breitling has equipped the Emergency with a miniaturized transmitter operating on the 243 MHz military frequency. Under normal conditions—flat terrain or calm seas—the Emergency's signal will be picked up at a range of up to 90 nautical miles (167 km) by search aircraft flying at 20,000 feet (6,000 m). In an incident that demonstrates how the Emergency can be used to save lives, Reuters reports that two British pilots, Squadron Ldr. Steve Brooks and Flight Lt. Hugh Quentin-Smith, crashed their helicopter in Antarctica and were rescued after activating their Breitling Emergency transmitter watches. The two pilots were in their lifeboat when a Chilean Otter aircraft found them after homing in on signals from their watches. [1] The Emergency is available for customers who do not hold a pilot's licence, but they must sign an agreement stating that they will bear the full costs of a rescue intervention should they trigger the distress beacon. The model was heavily advertised by the Breitling Orbiter 3—both Brian Jones and Bertrand Piccard were wearing the Emergency. Advantages of Mechanical MovementsThe mechanical movements give the watches extremely strong resistance to electrical and magnetic disturbances, with an antimagnetic rating of 80,000 A/m. In analog quartz watches, a strong enough magnetic field can depolarize or partly reorient the permanent magnets in the stepper motor. The mechanical movement is for all practical purposes invulnerable to strong electrostatic discharges, RF electromagnetic fields or by Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP), whereas a quartz watch's CMOS logic chip and stepper motors can be destroyed easily by these. The automatic winding mechanism also gives much better low temperature operational capability than an electronic watch. Breitling chronometers are typically well armored and pressure resistant with synthetic sapphire faces to further withstand shock and high pressures.

In analog quartz watches, a strong enough magnetic field can depolarize or partly reorient the permanent magnets in the stepper motor. A card is generally a small flat object, typically made from heavy paper or plastic. The mechanical movements give the watches extremely strong resistance to electrical and magnetic disturbances, with an antimagnetic rating of 80,000 A/m. Cardboard. The model was heavily advertised by the Breitling Orbiter 3—both Brian Jones and Bertrand Piccard were wearing the Emergency. Orson Scott Card, an author best known for the Ender's Game Series. The Emergency is available for customers who do not hold a pilot's licence, but they must sign an agreement stating that they will bear the full costs of a rescue intervention should they trigger the distress beacon. Card (professional wrestling), the lineup of the matches that will be staged at a given venue for a given perfomance. [1]. Test card, also known as a test pattern, a television test signal, typically broadcast at times when the transmitter is active, but no programmes are being broadcast. The two pilots were in their lifeboat when a Chilean Otter aircraft found them after homing in on signals from their watches. E-card, an electronic version of a greeting card or postcard. Hugh Quentin-Smith, crashed their helicopter in Antarctica and were rescued after activating their Breitling Emergency transmitter watches. Value card, a self-help device listing behavior changes the bearer wants to make. Steve Brooks and Flight Lt. Trading card, a card used for trading or collecting, or for use in a collectible card game. In an incident that demonstrates how the Emergency can be used to save lives, Reuters reports that two British pilots, Squadron Ldr. Smart card, a plastic card containing a computer chip (also known as a Key Card). Under normal conditions—flat terrain or calm seas—the Emergency's signal will be picked up at a range of up to 90 nautical miles (167 km) by search aircraft flying at 20,000 feet (6,000 m). Punch card, an obsolete method for storing data. For military users, Breitling has equipped the Emergency with a miniaturized transmitter operating on the 243 MHz military frequency. Postcard, a card used for sending messages in the mail without use of an envelope. This broadcasts on the 121.5 MHz distress frequency and serves as a back-up for ELT-type airborne beacons. Playing card, a card, typically made of laminated paper, used for playing games. The Breitling Emergency version contains a highly protected and powerful radio transmitter for civil aviation use. Penalty card for rule violations in Lacrosse and football (soccer). The expense is clearly in the 38 jewel self-winding movement as these steel cased models are more expensive than some of Breitling's Titanium or Gold models. Index card, a card for creating and organizing notes in a stack, usually for a research project. Quartz models such as the Breitling Aeromarine Colt start at $1,650.00, while typical prices of mechanical, steel cased models are $7,300 (US) for the Breitling for Bentley Motors model. ID card, an identity document. using no electronic components). Health card, a token to be used as patient data card (PDC) or health professional card (HPC). Many models feature an automatic winding mechanism that is purely mechanical (i.e. Greeting card, usually folded paper that is mailed or given to a relative, friend, or associate to express a message of greeting, appreciation, or some other sentiment. the Breitling for Bentley Motors edition has a 48 mm Case Diameter) for better visiblity and to allow display of more information on the analog dials. Expansion card, a device attached generally inside a computer, that provides added functionality, such as a graphics card or a sound card. They typically have a large face (e.g. Debit card, a plastic card for buying things using money in a bank account. The watchmaker offers Certified Chronometers designed primarily for aviation use.
