Mercury in Breitling Emergency Night Mission

Published on: 09/12/2014

The stage was set. Under the cover of darkness, the sleek, Stealth 710 vessel fitted with the supercharged, smooth and silent power of a Mercury Verado 150hp outboard made its way up the Thames on a mission to deliver precious cargo.

The Emergency Night Mission was the backdrop for the launch of Breitling’s Emergency II wristwatch, the ultimate high-tech survival instrument for all distress situations on land, at sea and in the air. The Stealth 710 equipped with state of the art anti detection systems, delivered the watch to the iconic warship HMS Belfast, the venue for the Swiss brand Breitling’s launch party. The event was attended by special guests of the brand including pilots and military personnel as well as adventurers Neil Laughton and Quentin Smith, a pilot rescued from his life raft after he deployed his Breitling Emergency in the Antarctic in 2003.

The Stealth 710 was built by Whitmarsh RIBs, who normally use Mercury engines on their high-performance superyacht tenders.
