[Emergency + UTC] Battery does not last long!

[1Daytona]

I have an Emergency Mission Chrono from 2005 and figured out I can extend the life of the battery by pulling out the crown when I put my watch away. The subdial seconds hand will stop, indicating battery disconnected. Instead of running the battery 24/7 and having to change the battery every 2 years, I actually get around 5 years out of a factory battery change. I wear my Emergency Mission around 5 times a month in rotation with other watches. When it is time to wear it again, I set the time, push the crown back in, and then the watch fires up again. FYI. Don't know if this will work with the regular titanium Emergency.
