I was watching one of my favorite shows, Man vs. Wild, on the Discovery Channel the other day and I noticed Bear was wearing a Breitling Emergency. I immediately searched it on Google and verified that he was in fact wearing a Breitling Emergency. The top picture is of the yellow dial version, but on the most recent show he wore a black dial version with a rubber strap (bottom picture). I have also heard that he occasionally wears a Bremont ALT-P, which I could not confirm, however there is a section of the Bremont site dedicated to Bear Grylls.

This is the Bremont ALT1-Z, an aviator watch that can display the local time while also displaying Universal Time Coordinated (UTC), Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), or Zulu time (Z). The 43 mm X 16 mm case is made of hardened stainless steel with a scratch resistant PVD case barrel. It uses a Valjoux 7754 chronometer 25 jewel automatic movement. The Bremont decorated skeletized rotor is visible through the display caseback. It has an easy to read chronograph with three separate counters for 60 seconds, 30 minutes and 12 hours. It costs $4200 USD.
