The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

Purchased at a flea market late in the day, I fell in love with this almost untouched dial.
The small seconds at 6 o'clock is subtle, discreet, and pleasant. The hands are elegant and make this vintage submariner look like a perfect dress watch.
After a service and polishing, it's almost new. I changed the strap to this lizard-leather one, which adds the perfect dose of elegance.

Ma dress watch vintage française

A sunburst dial in such a unique and perfect color, incredible finesse for an automatic watch, a super comfortable strap, and a beautifully decorated manufacture movement. These are the assets that made me switch to Nomos for this Club Sport.
And when you add in the 20 bar water resistance and its reasonable price, what could be better?
If you want an "alternative" to a green OP, then don't think twice. Here it is.
I bought this watch a few months ago and I can't get enough of it.
It's incredibly robust and elegant. It's very rare to find such a versatile watch with exceptional finishes in this price range.
No regrets!

The perfect “one watch collection”

Yema was created in 1948 by Henry Louis Belmont in Besan&ccedil;on in France. It became famous for its sporty and robust watches made in France and in particular the Yema Superman which in 1963 became the first French watch waterproof to 300 meters. After difficult years during the quartz crisis, Yema has regained momentum by promoting its historical heritage and offering in-house movements like its micro-rotor caliber launched in 2022.
The range includes historic models like the <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/yema/rallygraf">Yema Rallygraf</a>, <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/yema/superman">Yema Superman</a>, <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/yema/meangraf">Yema Meangraf</a> or <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/yema/navygraf">Yema Navygraf</a>, as well as more recent models like the <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/yema/wristmaster_traveller">Yema Wristmaster Traveller</a>, equipped with the in-house micro-rotor caliber, or the collaboration with Alpine with the <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/yema/rallygraf_alpine_endurance_team">Yema Rallygraf Alpine Endurance Team</a>.

This divine vintage watch has a patina on the hands and indicators that would make more than one pale...
This is probably the watch I prefer in my collection despite its 35.5mm diameter
This must be one or the first YEMA diving watch, with an automatic FE 5611 movement.
On a rubber strap, this watch can go on all fronts (not just sea....)
I love it and my eyes sparkle every time I wear it on my wrist.

The underwater nugget

Watch that I have been a fan of since its acquisition, a diver in the 80s, what can I say, everything suits it, nato leather steel can be worn in all circumstances with its ideal diameter 38.5mm, a thickness of 13mm and its 20atm, readability at all times with its Arabic numerals and incredible luminescence for its age, a granny who could give lessons to many young divers

Diver Y

YEMA is a brand that has been with me for a long time in my life as a collector, and in my life in general. Even as a kid, I always heard about Yema. So I don't even ask myself the question of whether I should have one in my collection. 
Here is a Submarine that I really like. I love brown dials, I love smoked dials, so here, I am fulfilled! 
In addition, a reasonable size, a nice case shape, a reliable and precise movement....... Everything I like!

Everything I love!

Yema, a French watch brand founded in 1948, has built a reputation for robust and innovative watches. Among them, the Yema Sous-Marine stands out for its atypical and bold character.

Its blue sunray dial captures the light with fascinating intensity, changing color depending on the viewing angle. But what makes it unique are its indexes inspired by a radar or a viewfinder, a visual signature that stands out from the ordinary while improving readability.

A bold design, a French heritage and a strong personality: that's why I appreciate my Yema Sous-Marine so much.

Right on target

Pretty little YEMA Sous-Marine that has been with me for quite a few years now.
I wore it often at one time, and in all circumstances, without consideration. And I can say that it is very robust and very reliable.
A very nice, chic, discreet and affordable watch, to wear every day.

Simple and chic

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 received a one-year warranty extension.
Despite all that, I like this watch, even though, three months after purchasing it, I found it 30% off on their website. I still like this watch: its case, bezel, and two straps are very well done, and I like its color, which is also very well done. In conclusion, would I buy a Yema again? I don't know. Even if the Yema Skin Divers CMM 20 tempts me, I'll wait and see.
