If only Jack and the lost crew had had the possibility of keeping in touch or connecting to radars when the plane crashed onto that particular island, if only one of the passengers of the Oceanic Flight 815 had had the Breitling Emergency watch that features emergency frequency, the story would have been much different and the whole crew would have probably survived.

Lost is an American serial drama television series that follows the lives of the survivors that could make it from the plane crash on a mysterious tropical island, after a commercial passenger jet flying between Sydney, Australia and Los Angeles, United States crashes somewhere in the South Pacific.

According to the Breitling Emergency, the wristwatch was designed for pilots and aircrews featuring a built-in microtransmitter broadcasting on the 121.5 Mhz aircraft emergency frequency. If something not regular during a flight occurred, the Emergency will send a signal through which the aircraft could be found. This Emergency’s transmitter is activated by unscrewing a protective cap and pulling the antenna out fully starting the broadcast for the next 48 hours.
