MB&F HMX Black Badger Edition

About this reference

Released in 2016 to celebrate the brand’s tenth anniversary, the MB&F HMX Black Badger Edition is a limited series of 99 pieces, divided into four colorways of 25 units each (with one additional piece). This reference features a 46.8mm x 44.3mm case constructed from grade 5 titanium and stainless steel. It utilizes a jumping hour and trailing minutes module developed in-house, powered by a Sellita base movement. Collectors value this edition for its integration of James Thompson’s proprietary high-efficiency solid lume blocks, which illuminate the engine bay visible under the sapphire crystal. The vertical time display uses dual sapphire prisms to reflect and magnify the flat discs. On the secondary market, these timepieces typically trade between $45,000 and $60,000. A notable production detail is the "Radar Green" variant, which remains highly sought after for its distinct visual profile compared to the "Phantom Blue" or "Purple Reign" versions.
