Yema is born in Besan&ccedil;on (France) in 1948 under the drive of Henry-Louis Belmont, the brand established itself with robust tool watches aimed at diving, motorsport, aviation and even spaceflight, keeping a Franche-Comt&eacute; industrial footprint and a design identity that is immediately recognizable.
<h3>Superman and bezel-lock: a French take on the diver&rsquo;s tool</h3>
The brand&rsquo;s emblem, the 1963 Superman, introduced a bezel-locking device adjacent to the crown, designed to prevent accidental rotation underwater and turned into a signature detail of modern re-editions&mdash;a simple, legible solution that embodies the tool-watch brief while asserting angular casework and a very &ldquo;instrumental&rdquo; mid-case, resulting in confident wrist presence without sacrificing function.
Beyond the lock itself, alternating brushed and polished planes define crisp volumes, generous markers secure readability, and water-resistance targets real use, so the look flows from function; this coherence&mdash;often imitated in spirit but hard to reproduce in detail&mdash;anchors the Superman as the quintessential &ldquo;French diver,&rdquo; worn as much for its stance as for its endurance, with a technical signature instantly spotted by seasoned enthusiasts.
<h3>Rallye, Rallygraf, Meangraf, Yachtingraf: racing and regatta chronographs</h3>
In the 1960s&ndash;1970s, Yema produced graphic, highly legible chronographs linked to car racing (Rallye/Rallygraf, Meangraf) and sailing (Yachtingraf), with high-contrast dials and purposeful scales; the lineage lives on in current re-issues and in emblematic anecdotes, such as Mario Andretti&rsquo;s chronograph during the 1969 Indy 500, evidence that the brand accompanied real competitive use with simple, robust solutions built around readability in demanding conditions.
<ul>
<li>Yema Rallygraf &mdash; &ldquo;Racing&rdquo; spirit, contrasting sub-dials, clear markers.</li>
<li>Yema Meangraf &mdash; Bold 1970s codes, immediate legibility, strong graphics.</li>
<li>Yema Yachtingraf &mdash; Regatta timing features, nautical aesthetics.</li>
<li>Yema Flygraf &mdash; Pilot-oriented, purposeful field readability.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Spationaute and CNES: Yema&rsquo;s journey into space</h3>
On June 24, 1982, Jean-Loup Chr&eacute;tien, the first Frenchman in space, launched to Salyut 7 wearing a Yema Spationaute&mdash;recognized as the first Western European watch flown into orbit&mdash;kicking off a series tied to CNES missions; the episode bolsters the image of a broadly accessible brand meeting exacting briefs while fueling a national narrative where a wrist-borne instrument serves as a mission companion that is pragmatic, durable and symbolic at once.
Beyond the space anecdote, the point is continuity: an &ldquo;instrument&rdquo; mindset, contrasted hands and bezel, robustness prioritized over ornament, and respectful nods to period graphics; it is less the one-off feat than the way it permeates the collections that matters, with editions that recall the lineage without caricature so as to cultivate a technical memory serving modern-day use.
<h3>&ldquo;in-house&rdquo; movement path: MBP1000, YEMA2000/3000 and CMM.20</h3>
Industrially, Yema communicates a gradual strengthening of its own calibres: after MBP1000 (announced in 2011), YEMA2000 (three-hand) and YEMA3000 (GMT) update the base with an emphasis on precision and durability, then a &ldquo;CMM.20&rdquo; micro-rotor of manufacture grade crowns the range&mdash;conceived, developed and assembled in French workshops&mdash;an offer meant to combine accessibility and independence through a measured progression rather than a speculative leap.
In practice, these evolutions coexist with references powered by other suppliers depending on era and use; coherence across the lineup relies as much on case architecture and perceived quality as on the movement spec itself, so the buyer&rsquo;s key step is to define the need (three-hand, GMT, chrono) and weigh what each calibre brings in power reserve, accuracy and service, to secure a credible technical match to the intended use.
<h3>Relocalization, workshops and distribution: a Besan&ccedil;on&ndash;Morteau through-line</h3>
Geographic anchoring remains a cue: between historic Besan&ccedil;on and today&rsquo;s development/assembly in Morteau, the brand structures a value chain re-centered on Franche-Comt&eacute; while keeping targeted external partners&mdash;an organization aiming to secure skills and lead times and to better control quality upstream, in a spirit of industrial proximity and traceability of key operations.
On the distribution side, Yema blends direct sales with selected retailers and builds editorial context around re-issues (Superman 63, Navygraf, Rallygraf) and their updates; scarcity is not artificially staged but comes from reasonable volumes and production cycles, hence the value, for enthusiasts, of tracking availability windows and trying sizes at the right time to lock a choice that is informed, personal and grounded in real use.&nbsp;
<h3>Positioning and pricing: a clear-identity French tool-watch</h3>
Yema&rsquo;s stance is easy to read: tool watches with strong design at studied prices relative to spec (exact public ranges: not disclosed), options in steel, bronze, titanium or ceramic depending on the line, and stepping up via complications or in-house movements; the value equation lies in the balance of design/function and in the stated French industrial narrative, appealing to enthusiasts of characterful &ldquo;tools&rdquo; more than to seekers of overtly decorative luxury pieces.
Value in use, however, hinges on ownership fit: bracelet comfort, lug-to-lug, dial contrast, night legibility and water-resistance aligned with your activities; put differently, the right Yema is the one that disappears into the action&mdash;swimming, driving, flying, sailing&mdash;while keeping its aesthetic signature, which calls for trying multiple diameters and thicknesses to validate stable, morphology-friendly wearing comfort.
<h3>Choosing your Yema: sizing, context and care</h3>
Start by defining dominant use: daily versatility (Navygraf, &ldquo;skin&rdquo; Superman), nautical activity (Yachtingraf), automotive (Rallygraf/Meangraf), aviation (Flygraf); then confirm real-world size (diameter/thickness/lug-to-lug) and bracelet ergonomics, and arbitrate between a recent &ldquo;in-house&rdquo; calibre and a proven third-party option according to your technical appetite and service constraints&mdash;the aim being long-term coherence among style, function and maintenance.
<ul>
<li>Yema Superman &mdash; Emblematic diver, bezel lock, strong identity.</li>
<li>Yema Navygraf &mdash; High-contrast legibility, versatile marine spirit.</li>
<li>Yema Rallygraf &mdash; Racing codes, readable chronographs.</li>
<li>Yema Yachtingraf &mdash; Regatta indications, nautical styling.</li>
<li>Yema Flygraf &mdash; Pilot orientation, clear functional cues.</li>
</ul>
For care, follow service intervals and have water-resistance checked after any shock or opening; clean bracelet and bezel recesses regularly, and remember that precise adjustment and appropriate lubrication extend timekeeping stability&mdash;simple habits that underpin everyday performance over the long run.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Yema addresses enthusiasts who want expressive tool watches rooted in a French narrative and designed for use first&mdash;diving, road, cockpit or deck. You recognize them by crisp dials, forthright cases and design details that prioritize function. To decide, start from your real practice, refine by size and readability, then choose between heritage re-editions and contemporary interpretations. Finally, cross-check your pick with Dialicious customer reviews to validate long-term relevance.

It's one of those watches that you discover on platforms... Especially when you're in full lockdown... my birthday is coming up... and I said to myself... but I can treat myself to a nice watch... without leaving my house!!??? Living in Madrid, the idea of having a watch 🇫🇷that's not sold in my area!! Waaaah, size 39, domed glass, "huge" trapezoidal chrono markers... black off-white contrast... Once again, if it had been a 41... I wouldn't have bought it... "Who buys Westons in 44 when they wear a 41????? » not me… same for watches… to hell with this “stupid” fashion for huge watches… This Yema, a brand that I confused a bit with Timex… nothing to do with it, Yema created in 1948, with a real history of divers and sports watches at the 🇫🇷… a quality mechanism inside… quartz… but at 180€ starting price at that time… which I lovingly “PaulNewmanéized” by customizing its bracelet… this watch has a crazy look… especially dressed in black.. a bit rock’nroll…. Yema is showing a creativity currently that I find many big brands currently lack…. To be continued….

Cravings for 6263 Big Red à la Bebel…thwarted….

An iconic design that Yema has been able to modernize. Very skeptical when it was released, I had to have it in my hands to see the multitude of details on this original case. 39mm but a substantial thickness that gives it a nice presence on the wrist. The oscillating weight is very present, often perceived as a drawback of the Valjoux, but which takes on its full meaning in a chrono with motorsport DNA. My little touch, a vintage-style rally-type bracelet that tapers nicely to the buckle.

An Exclusive Partnership Serving an Icon
The Yema Rallygraf Limited Edition Daniel Gérard is much more than just a watch: it's the successful fusion of Yema's sporting heritage and Daniel Gérard's jewelry expertise. Limited to just 40 pieces, this chronograph takes on an exclusive dimension, reinterpreting a legendary model from the French brand with a touch of refinement and uniqueness. It's the union of two areas of expertise that, in my opinion, has yet to receive the recognition it deserves.

⏱️ Sporty, Mechanical, and Elegant Style
This model perfectly embodies the mechanical sports chronograph style. Its dial evokes the world of motor racing, with a bold and legible design. The main visual attraction is undoubtedly the red chronograph seconds hand. This vibrant and dynamic detail contrasts with the rest of the dial to offer instant readability and underscore the purely mechanical character and passion for sport.

✨ Everyday Performance and Comfort
Under the hood lies the heart of the watch: the Calibre Y2000. Since I acquired this watch, its operation has been flawless, attesting to the reliability and precision required of a timekeeping instrument.
A crucial point, especially for those with a slender wrist, is comfort: the case diameter is perfectly suited to my small wrist. This makes the Rallygraf a daily pleasure to wear, combining a presence on the wrist without ever being intrusive. It's a true delight to wear day after day.

💎 An Exclusive Still Available
Despite its very limited production run, this exclusive version is, to my knowledge, still available on the jeweler's website. For collectors or enthusiasts seeking an exceptional, reliable chronograph with a genuine history, I highly recommend considering this piece before it becomes a sold-out item.

Yema Rallygraf Limited Edition Daniel Gérard

My first chronograph!

This Swiss chronograph movement is renowned for its precision and reliability. It is equipped with 27 Jewels and beats at 28,800 A/h.


YEMA RALLYE ANDRETTI LIMITED EDITION

A nice chronograph with a style resolutely from the past of French motor sports. Yema is trying to make a strong comeback on the market and despite some struggles, has managed to make a place for itself and this little chronograph is part of their entry-level range which is nonetheless qualitative. Here, we have a nice mecaquartz bicompax chronograph with date, the fully polished case and the domed mineral glass give a style straight out of the past. 2 trapezoidal counters to change from the very classic round counter, a red-tipped chronograph hand and a tachymeter scale with the most beautiful effect and all underlined by the 2 small checkered flags to affirm the automotive heritage of this watch. The watch comes with a perforated leather carrying pouch to change from the traditional box which ends up in a cupboard after opening. The well-made steel bracelet adds even more to the retro heritage which nevertheless hides a modern hybrid movement which works wonderfully. I regret however the absence of a small second to make the watch more lively outside of the moments when the chronograph is running.

The Yema Rallygraf is an iconic sports watch inspired by the world of motor racing. This model is famous for its bold design and its close connection to the world of rallying, offering watch and motorsport enthusiasts a chronograph that is both functional and aesthetically striking. The Rallygraf is a key piece in the history of the brand&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/yema">Yema</a>, who has captured the essence of adventure and precision in this watch.
<h3 dir="ltr">Historical context</h3>
Launched in the 1960s, the Yema Rallygraf was designed for enthusiasts of motor racing and precision timing. At the time, chronograph watches had become essential for drivers, allowing them to accurately measure their times during events. The Rallygraf was born to meet these needs, with an aesthetic directly inspired by the dashboards of racing cars and mechanical stopwatches used in rallies.
Yema, founded in 1948, quickly established itself as a flagship brand in French watchmaking, with robust and functional watches. The Rallygraf is today a cult watch, reissued to capture the spirit of racing while integrating modern technologies.
<h3 dir="ltr">Design and aesthetics</h3>
The Yema Rallygraf is immediately recognizable by its design inspired by motor racing. The case, often made of stainless steel, has classic dimensions ranging from 39 to 42 mm, perfect for a sporty and versatile watch. Its rounded shape and clean lines make it a comfortable and well-balanced model, ideal for both everyday use and more sporting events.
The dial is the most distinctive element of the Rallygraf. It often features high-contrast subdials reminiscent of race car dashboard counters. Dials can feature classic colors like black, white or blue, often paired with red, yellow or orange accents, evoking themes of speed and adventure. Luminescent indexes and hands guarantee excellent readability, even in low light conditions.
One of the signatures of the model is the presence of a tachymeter scale on the bezel or around the edge of the dial, allowing users to measure the average speed according to the elapsed time. Some models also feature checkered flags, the symbol of motor racing, which further underline the link with the world of rallying.
<h3 dir="ltr">Movement and features</h3>
The Yema Rallygraf is available in quartz and automatic versions, depending on the model. Quartz models offer great precision and increased accessibility, while automatic versions often use reliable Swiss movements, such as the Meca-Quartz Seiko VK64 caliber or Valjoux 7750 mechanical movements for more premium editions.
The main functionality of the Rallygraf is its chronograph, essential for timing events or races. The subdials allow you to measure times up to 30 minutes, and the central second hand is dedicated to measuring seconds. The watch is designed to provide high precision, essential for motorsport enthusiasts.
Some versions of the Rallygraf also include a date window, subtly placed at 4 or 6 o'clock depending on the model, adding a touch of additional functionality without cluttering the design of the dial.
<h3 dir="ltr">Waterproofing</h3>
The Yema Rallygraf is equipped with water resistance up to 100 meters (10 ATM) making it water resistant in everyday conditions such as rain or light swimming. Although it is not designed for diving activities, this watch remains suitable for sporty and active use.
<h3 dir="ltr">Bracelet</h3>
The bracelet of the Yema Rallygraf is often made of stainless steel, offering strength and durability, but it is also available with perforated leather straps, reminiscent of the driving gloves of car drivers.
