Introducing Bremont Unveils the Altitude MB Meteor “Felix the Cat”

Bremont, in partnership with Universal Products & Experiences (UP&E), unveils a collaboration that unites authentic aviation heritage with the mischievous spirit of one of the world’s most enduring icons.

Celebrating its passion for “joyful watchmaking”, an approach long embedded in the brand’s DNA, and its enduring commitment to military aviation, Bremont introduces a special edition inspired by Felix the Cat, a character whose legacy in the skies spans generations and continents.

Long regarded as a trusted good-luck charm for pilots, Felix the Cat has symbolised courage, humour, and fearless adventure since the earliest days of flight. Today, he returns as the central figure in the “Watch Your Six” campaign, a reference to fighter-pilot clock-position terminology. Together, these chapters reinforce Felix the Cat’s status as a beloved aviation icon, perfectly aligned with Bremont’s aeronautical roots.

The Grade 2 titanium Altitude MB Meteor ‘Felix the Cat’ adopts the iconic 42mm MB case design, rendered entirely in a tactical “stealth black” DLC finish for striking visual impact. Bremont’s signature three-part Trip-Tick® case construction houses a PVD-treated titanium knurled barrel, seamlessly extending to the knurled titanium crowns.

Felix the Cat artwork is applied directly to the stealth-black dial, playfully running away with the number 6. This numeral — along with the applied hour markers and indexes — is filled with high-grade white Super-LumiNova® (blue emission) to ensure optimal legibility in low-light conditions.

The bi-directional rotating inner bezel is operated via the patented Roto-Click® mechanism and adjusted using the DLC-coated titanium knurled crown at 4 o’clock — a hallmark of the Bremont MB design language.

The Altitude MB Meteor ‘Felix the Cat’ retains one of the MB collection’s most distinctive features: the looped “ejection” pull-handle counterweight at the tip of the seconds hand, rendered in vibrant yellow and black as a nod to the original and iconic MBI. The minute track is likewise executed in bold yellow. These vivid accents reference aviation safety standards while providing striking contrast against the stealth-black aesthetic.

Powering the watch is Bremont’s BB14-AH automatic movement, built on a La Joux-Perret calibre. It delivers a 68-hour power reserve and beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). The movement is suspended within a flexible rubber mount to absorb shocks and minimise impacts, while a soft-iron inner cage provides protection against magnetic fields.

Turning the watch over reveals an open caseback adorned with Felix the Cat-inspired decoration, offering a view of the movement’s gunmetal-grey finish and Geneva stripes.

The timepiece is available on a matte black DLC-coated titanium bracelet with quick-release functionality or a textured black leather strap featuring box-stitch detailing.

Limited to 500 pieces worldwide, the Bremont Altitude MB Meteor ‘Felix the Cat’ blends aviation heritage with playful character in a distinctly contemporary execution.
