Bremont, in partnership with Universal Products & Experiences (UP&E), unveils a collaboration that unites authentic aviation heritage and the unmistakable mischievous spirit of one of the world’s most enduring icons.
Celebrating its passion for ‘joyful watchmaking’ – an approach long embedded within the brand’s DNA, and its long-standing commitment to military aviation, Bremont introduces a collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences inspired by Felix the Cat, a character whose legacy in the skies spans generations and continents worldwide.

Closely associated with U.S. Navy aviation squadrons, most notably VFA-31, aka the “Tomcatters”, where Felix the Cat is featured on the insignia, his story traces back to the original VF-3 squadron, which has been carried forward through successive redesigns to today’s VFA-31.
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 character in the ‘Watch your Six’ campaign, drawn from fighter-pilot clock-position terminology. Together, these chapters cement Felix the Cat as a beloved aviation icon, perfectly aligned with Bremont’s aviation roots.
The Bremont Altitude MB Meteor was the natural design choice for the Felix the Cat collaboration. Since Bremont was founded in 2002, its pilot’s watches have earned the trust of military and civilian fliers, adventurers, collectors and enthusiasts.
In 2025, Bremont proudly built on this legacy and introduced the latest iteration of the MB, the Altitude MB Meteor, a dynamic new iteration of the MB concept: refined, upgraded and streamlined, while retaining the features that have defined celebrated MB models for 16 years.
The Grade 2 Titanium Altitude MB Meteor ‘Felix the Cat’ takes the iconic 42mm design and renders it entirely in a tactical ‘stealth black’ DLC finish to dramatic effect. The 3-part Trip-Tick case construction houses a PVD Titanium knurled barrel, which extends to the knurled titanium crowns.
Felix the Cat artwork is applied directly onto the stealth black dial, cheekily running away with the number 6, which, along with all applied numerals and indexes are filled with high-grade white Super-LumiNova® (blue emission), to ensure optimum readability and clarity.
The bi-directional rotating inner bezel is operated by the roto-click mechanism, which can be adjusted using the Titanium DLC knurled 4 o’clock crown, A signature of the Bremont MB design DNA.
The Bremont Altitude MB Meteor ‘Felix the Cat’ retains one of the MB’s most iconic features: the looped ‘ejection’ pull handle on the tip of the seconds hand in vibrant yellow and black nodding to the vibrancy of the original, iconic MBI. The minute track is also executed in bold and bright yellow. These bright yellow accents not only nod to flight safety standards but also serve as visual pops against the stealth black palette.
At its core, the Altitude MB Meteor ‘Felix the Cat’ is powered by Bremont’s BB14-AH movement, built on a Le Joux Perret calibre.
Key specifications include:
24 jewels
68-hour power reserve
Shock-absorbing rubber movement mount
Soft-iron shielding protects against powerful magnetic fields.
Turning the watch over presents an open case-back with Felix the Cat-inspired decoration, revealing the movement’s fine finishing in gunmetal grey with Geneva Stripes.
The watch is available with either:
A matte black DLC titanium bracelet with a quick-release system, or
A textured black leather strap with box-stitch detailing
Built for comfort, endurance and resilience, the bracelets reinforce the lightweight and performance-led nature of the Altitude line.
The Bremont Altitude MB Meteor “Felix the Cat” is limited to 500 pieces worldwide. Collaboration is more than a visual statement; it’s a reminder to stay bold, curious, and enjoy the journey.
