Yema - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

I present to you my YEMA Rallygraf panda...I really like this sports watch. The time measurement functions of this Seiko VK64 hybrid movement are powered by a quartz caliber while the timing function is controlled by a mechanical module that allows the second hand to have a continuous movement for a better feeling of clarity. (Meca Quartz)... In addition, the chronograph second hand has a red tip for better readability of its performance. Hour and Minute sub-counters in homage to the design of vintage racing car da…

How I Discovered It I didn't know this watch existed until I came across a Yema sale. I'd been interested in their watches for a while, especially the bronze Superman FSM, but for some reason, I hadn't yet taken the plunge. However, as soon as I saw the dial and case shape of this model, I was instantly hooked. It had everything I love, a bit like Serica: a raw, robust, masculine style, and clearly vintage-inspired, which I really appreciate. I could easily imagine wearing it for any occasion. And once I saw t…

I was looking for an all-terrain watch for my water sports this summer, and it seems Yema read my mind because I received an email from them with several models on sale. I was tempted by the Yema Diver equipped with the Yema 2000 caliber. This watch is 100% retro, with its 39.5 mm Monnin case, slightly domed sapphire crystal, and faux patina. I was immediately captivated by the photo, and I was pleasantly surprised when I got my hands on it. Its 200M water resistance is perfect for me, and its finish is excellent.…

I often compare Yema to Peugeot. It's French, it's very beautiful, and the designs are successful for both brands. However, is the Yema 2000 caliber as reliable as a PureTech engine? I must have gotten a bad batch, because since I've owned this watch, it's gone in for service four times for various issues. In the end, they ended up replacing the caliber altogether, and so far, so good. The good thing, compared to Peugeot, is that Yema doesn't fuss and takes the watch in for service right away. What's more, I receiv…

I present to you my YEMA Superman blue lagoon in Quartz version (vast subject ...) it is a very pretty watch but not very loved by lovers of the Yema brand? ... Yet I am one of the people who love Yema and I would never part with this watch ... it is too far from the codes of the iconic superman version of the French brand (I have two other Superman a gmt and a bronze green) ... the blue lagoon has first of all a diameter of 40 mm and its shape and its case is completely different from a classic superman ... But I…

I really like this Yema watch which is emblematic of the brand and which refers to car racing and the Michel Vaillant comic strip...it has a Quartz movement but it is a watch with a Seiko V64 Mechanical hybrid quartz caliber at 32.768 Hz frequencies, brushed aluminum tachymeter bezel.

I bought my Yema Meangraf Y70 2 years ago on the Yema website and I am very happy with it. This watch is with a hybrid mechanical quartz Seiko VK64 movement. This watch has a reinforced racing look for this bi-compax chronograph with its kilometer bezel and its yellow and white hands in contrast with the dark gray dial. The steel mesh bracelet of the Meangraf Y70 was made of Milanese mesh for more flexibility and finesse. The clasp is engraved with the historic YEMA logo and adjusts quickly and very easily.

I present to you my YEMA Superman Worldtime batman on its steel bracelet I really like this watch because it combines elegance and sportiness...The Superman Worldtime batman is the very first watch in the YEMA catalog to be equipped with the new House Caliber GMT YEMA3000. With its slightly oversized indexes, this new Superman remains a professional diving watch waterproof to 300m but it is also equipped with a GMT complication that can read 3 different time zones. The new YEMA3000 House Caliber with GMT complicati…

Unfortunately for me, the Kickstarter was closed when I discovered it online. Pre-ordered at full price (€3,600 instead of €1,750 on KS), the wait was long; it arrived in March 2024 instead of July 2023. This watch, while very successful in terms of design, has a mixed overall impression. I enjoy wearing it, for example, with a green garment. The pros: - Its look and the case design, borrowed from Gerald Genta, - Its green dial and its characteristic little waves, - Its diameter (39 mm) which sits perfectly on av…

I present to you my Superman 241117 blue dial from the 70s. It's in really great condition considering its age. It's currently the only watch I own with a blue dial, and frankly, it's amazing! Sometimes dark, sometimes bright, or even dark as the abyss. There have been several dial versions with different indexes. I particularly like the U-shaped indexes in this dial, highlighted with a yellowed tritium line and pointed inside the U. Of course, we find the legendary Yema bezel block, Bakelite bezel, and spade secon…
