Breitling introduced the Emergency II — successor to the wildly popular Breitling Emergency, and the first-ever watch with a dual-frequency locator beacon — at Baselworld 2013. However, the watch’s planned U.S. retail release has been stalled for nearly two years awaiting approval from the FCC, which regulates the airwaves over which its built-in rescue signal operates. On June 23, pilots, sailors, and other adventurers who have patiently waited for the chance to purchase the Emergency II received good news. At a press conference aboard the U.S.S. Intrepid Air and Space Museum in New York, co-hosted by pilot, astronaut and Breitling brand ambassador Mark Kelly, Breitling announced that the government red tape had finally been cut: the company received its necessary FCC waiver, and the Breitling Emergency II would finally be available at retail on July 1. Here’s what you need to know about this world’s-first timepiece.http://www.watchtime.com/wristwatch-industry-news/watches/desperate-hours-breitling-emergency-ii/?utm_source=WatchTime+Daily+Update&utm_campaign=e548565b72-WT+Daily&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8338768216-e548565b72-14531153&mc_cid=e548565b72&mc_eid=1436559a32
