YEMA SUPERMAN: AN ICONIC DIVING WATCH
Launched in 1967, the Yema Superman has become a symbol of French watchmaking. Designed to meet the demands of professional divers, it is distinguished by its unique bezel locking system, ensuring increased safety underwater. With water resistance up to 300 meters, it has accompanied numerous underwater expeditions, solidifying its reputation for reliability. Reissued over the decades, the Superman continues to captivate with its timeless design and technical specifications. Today, it embodies both Yema's watchmaking heritage and is an essential piece for diving watch enthusiasts.
FIRST "TROPICAL" DIAL SIGNED YEMA
For the first time, Yema introduces a "tropical" dial on its legendary Superman, a novelty in the brand's history. The term "tropical" refers to a dial whose color has aged naturally over time, often changing from black to shades of brown, giving it a unique aesthetic highly prized by collectors. Here, Yema recreates this patinated effect without waiting for the passage of time to add a nostalgic touch to the timeless charm of this essential French diver.
RETURN OF THE 1963 SHOVEL SECOND HAND
The spade-shaped second hand, emblematic of the Yema Superman since its creation in 1963, returns exclusively in this limited edition. This distinctive hand, designed to offer optimal readability underwater, quickly became an iconic element of the model. However, over the course of reissues, it had disappeared, replaced by more conventional designs. By reintroducing it, this Superman reconnects with its heritage, reviving a vintage aesthetic designed for nostalgic watch enthusiasts.
BEZEL WITH “SPECTRAL FADE” CERAMIC INSERT
The unidirectional bezel is distinguished by its "Spectral Fade" effect inspired by vintage "Tropical" dials with a dark gray hue that takes on silvery reflections under the play of light. The result is an almost mystical effect. Its insert is made entirely of ceramic to offer increased scratch resistance with luminescent markings in Super-Luminova Grade A (just like the indexes and hands). And of course, it retains the characteristic bezel lock of the Yema Superman.
CUSTOM MANUFACTURED MOVEMENT
For the first time, Yema has customized its CMM.10 manufacture caliber to create a unique harmony. The bridges and baseplate feature a dark gray galvanic decoration echoing the subtle hue of the bezel while preserving the microblasted finish. Meanwhile, the oscillating weight has been completely redesigned to match the architecture of the movement with a brushed gold finish. The entire process is hydraulically stamped with Yema's historic coat of arms for a finish as prestigious as the history of Superman.
UNRELEASED INTEGRATED TROPIC SAND BRACELET
Let's finish in style with another first for Yema: a sand-colored version of the Tropic FKM VITON® Intégré strap. Made from high-end vulcanized rubber, it fits perfectly between the watch's lugs to be in total harmony with the shape of the case. Its vintage sand color enhances the "tropical" dial and evokes the elegance of vintage diving watches. Durable and comfortable, this strap brings a unique touch to this Superman Tropical CMM.10.
