Additional Information
This stunning addition to the Breitling Professional line of watches provides not only a highly accurate and relatively spare (but aesthetically beautiful) chronograph dial, but, as indicated on its solid case back, the potentially life-saving Ground-Air Visual Signal Code that can be used to convey simple messages to an overflying search aircraft, when there is no other means of communication. The five internationally recognized symbols are: Require Assistance (V), Require Medical Assistance (X), Proceeding in the Direction indicated (arrow in that direction), Yes or Affirmative (Y), and No or Negative (N). These symbols can be made on the ground by using ground materials such as rocks or ready-made V-Sheets. Survivors must ensure that the symbols are large enough to be seen by an overhead aircraft. The pilot will respond if the signal is understood by rocking the aircraft's wings during daylight or flashing the aircraft's landing lights or navigation lights ON and OFF.
These signals are worthwhile remembering to indicate to a search aircraft that one is in distress or, if the search aircraft cannot land, providing the pilot with more information about the situation for relaying to a ground party or more suitable rescue aircraft that is on its way.
The Skyracer is both a functional and beautiful timepiece, and a welcome addition to the growing line of Professional Breitling watches.
About Breitling
It was 1884 when 24 year old Léon Breitling founded the watch manufacturer that would become the standard-bearer for pilots and navigators worldwide. As a pioneer in aviation timekeeping, Breitling has continued to produce wristwatches of distinction. Breitling's renowned Chronomat, introduced in 1942 was the first watch to incorporate a circular slide rule. A Breitling timepiece is instantly recognizable for its large case and disctinctive bezel.

Two Year Warranty
We sell luxury timepieces at considerably lower prices than the manufacturers list price. Gemnation is not
an Authorized Breitling Watch Dealer and is not affiliated with Breitling. Authorized dealers are not permitted
to discount or sell watches on the Internet. For this reason, we choose not to be authorized watch dealers
for many of the brands that we sell.
Since we are not authorized dealers for many of the watch manufacturers, we may be unable to ship the original
watch manufacturers warranty. In all cases, however, we provide a Two Year Gemnation Warranty (active from the
date of purchase).
Gemnation utilizes a full-time Swiss-trained watchmaker who is licensed and trained to repair every brand and
model of watch that we sell. If we can supply the original warranty we provide this information in the individual
watch description.
