Breitling Emergency

Body of Lies is a CIA thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe in which Crowe's character, Ed Hoffman, Chief of CIA's Near East Division, wears a Breitling Emergency. More than just an analog-digital watch, the Emergency contained an emergency position indicating radio beacon or EPIRB that can be deployed in case of an emergency, broadcasting a radio signal that can be picked up by aircraft to effect a rescue. For Crowe's character and DiCaprio's character's boss, the Emergency is a perfect fit for someone who would have undoubtedly had a great deal of field experience. For practitioners within SpecOps and Intelligence of the era, the Emergency was a trusted option with a potentially life-saving party trick.
