That IS quite interesting. Thanks for posting. So to sum it up, yes, it was
true that it was sold to only licensed pilots for about one year then
Breitling was allowed to sell it to non-pilots. I was confused as to the
"one time use" description. I always thought that you can replace a battery
in the watch after the ELT was used. Maybe they mean the battery itself is
one-time-use?


IIRC, to activate the ELT, you unscrewed a knob and pulled out the
antenna. There was no way to rewind it.
