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.
