The watch was serviced in regular intervals; in July 2018 it was given a full maintenance service.
The Breitling "Emergency" comes in a plastic case with large warning sign and a test module. The test module is used to ensure that the emergency beacon still works (when fitted to the back of the watch it beebs to show that the beacon is working). There are also a VHS instruction video, a screwdriver to open the test module and a certificate.
