Bremont Launches Limited-Edition Altitude MB Meteor Felix the Cat Pilot's Watch

Bremont launched the limited-edition Altitude MB Meteor 'Felix the Cat', a 42 mm pilot’s watch produced in a run of 500 pieces that places licensed Felix artwork directly on a matte black dial, depicted "cheekily running away with the number 6," which is filled with blue-emission Super-LumiNova for high visibility. The campaign for the watch is titled "Watch Your Six" and links the playful motif to fighter-pilot vernacular and Bremont’s aviation roots.

The case follows the MB series architecture with a three-part Trip-Tick construction in Grade 2 titanium finished in black DLC, described by Bremont as a stealthy treatment. The reference retains MB signatures, including the yellow-and-black looped "ejection" pull handle on the seconds hand, and a bidirectional rotating inner bezel operated by a crown at 4 o’clock, using Bremont’s Roto-Click mechanism for precise, tactile action. Buyers can choose a matt black DLC titanium bracelet with quick-release functionality or a textured black leather strap with box-stitch detailing.

Powering the watch is Bremont’s BB14 automatic movement: "Inside, our BB14 automatic movement offers a 68-hour power reserve and is suspended within a shock-absorbing mount with anti-magnetic shielding." The movement is visible through an open caseback decorated with Felix-inspired engraving, with the calibre finished in gunmetal grey and decorated with Geneva Stripes. These features underscore the model’s engineering brief: the Altitude MB Meteor line is "engineered to withstand the extreme procedures used in testing Martin‑Baker aircraft ejection seats," a durability claim that is central to the MB designation.

The Felix edition is a licensed collaboration developed with Universal Products & Experiences and explicitly celebrates Felix the Cat’s long association with U.S. Navy aviation squadrons, particularly VFA‑31 "Tomcatters," framing the cartoon as a symbol of courage and good luck for generations of pilots. Bremont’s marketing positions the release as reinforcing "joyful watchmaking rooted in military aviation culture" while maintaining technical credentials expected of an MB series model.

Availability is limited: the Felix the Cat Altitude MB Meteor is limited to 500 pieces worldwide. The US Bremont site lists retail tools such as Book an appointment and Find a retailer to facilitate purchases; social promotion appears on Bremont’s channels and Instagram tags include Bremont Altitude MB Meteor and Bremont Felix the Cat watch. Notably, a separate Altitude MB Meteor Stealth Grey variant is limited to 400 pieces and should not be conflated with the Felix edition.

Bremont has not published an MSRP or exact on-sale date for the Felix edition in the supplied materials. With a 42 mm Grade 2 titanium Trip-Tick case, BB14 movement, MB testing pedigree, and a distinctive licensed dial motif, the Altitude MB Meteor 'Felix the Cat' blends military-grade engineering with collectible storytelling, a combination that will be weighed by collectors once Bremont confirms price and retail timing.
