The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

Iconic watch art prints. Made in Switzerland, lifetime guarantee

I present to you my Seiko 5 sport FIFTY FIVE FATHOMS...which I find goes everywhere with the look of a diver, the robustness of a sportswoman, the Seiko SNZH55K1 also known by its nickname of "Fifty Five Fathoms" for the homage to the Blancpain timepiece, is a versatile piece that can be worn on multiple occasions...Belonging to the "Best Sellers" category of the "Five" subsidiary of Seiko, the SNZH55K1 has a unidirectional bezel matching the Black & White dial of the watch.
As for the hands and indexes, they are treated with Lumibrite, a non-radioactive and luminescent component, making the time readable in all circumstances. On the back, there is a transparent caseback, allowing the wearer of the timepiece to observe the caliber 7S36B in action.
The Seiko manufacture movement is equipped with 23 jewels, benefiting from 40 hours of power reserve.

At three o'clock, there is a date and day complication, adjustable via the crown also located at three o'clock. The whole thing is protected by a "Hardlex" tempered mineral glass, a specialty at Seiko.

Finally, this automatic model is water-resistant to 100 meters. It does not allow swimming or diving, but is resistant to showers, baths, swimming or even hand washing. This watch is now impossible to find new, perhaps still on a Japanese online site where there are still new SKXs at 3 or 4 times the price ... this watch has a diameter of 42mm. price at the time: 250 euros.

Mini-Turtle SRPC39K1 42mm...I really like this Seiko mini turtle with a smaller diameter than the turtle from the same manufacturer, my model is no longer made but it is still possible to find a new green or black model on online sites in Japan. The watch has a sapphire crystal.

I really like this Seiko 5 with a diameter of 40mm which looks a bit like a Tudor bb…it is very comfortable, I wear it quite often…its diameter for a Seiko 5 is smaller because I have other Seiko 5 sport Milanese mesh which are 42mm, it is automatic with a power reserve of 42 hours…it also exists in black dial color and its public price is 270 euros.

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.

<p><strong>Yema</strong> is born in Besan&ccedil;on (France) in <strong>1948</strong> 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.</p>
<h3>Superman and bezel-lock: a French take on the diver&rsquo;s tool</h3>
<p>The brand&rsquo;s emblem, the 1963 <em>Superman</em>, 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 <strong>confident wrist presence without sacrificing function</strong>.</p>
<p>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 <strong>technical signature instantly spotted by seasoned enthusiasts</strong>.</p>
<h3>Rallye, Rallygraf, Meangraf, Yachtingraf: racing and regatta chronographs</h3>
<p>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 <strong>built around readability in demanding conditions</strong>.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Yema Rallygraf</strong> &mdash; &ldquo;Racing&rdquo; spirit, contrasting sub-dials, clear markers.</li>
<li><strong>Yema Meangraf</strong> &mdash; Bold 1970s codes, immediate legibility, strong graphics.</li>
<li><strong>Yema Yachtingraf</strong> &mdash; Regatta timing features, nautical aesthetics.</li>
<li><strong>Yema Flygraf</strong> &mdash; Pilot-oriented, purposeful field readability.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Spationaute and CNES: Yema&rsquo;s journey into space</h3>
<p>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 <strong>pragmatic, durable and symbolic at once</strong>.</p>
<p>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 <strong>technical memory serving modern-day use</strong>.</p>
<h3>&ldquo;in-house&rdquo; movement path: MBP1000, YEMA2000/3000 and CMM.20</h3>
<p>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 <strong>measured progression rather than a speculative leap</strong>.</p>
<p>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 <strong>credible technical match to the intended use</strong>.</p>
<h3>Relocalization, workshops and distribution: a Besan&ccedil;on&ndash;Morteau through-line</h3>
<p>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 <strong>industrial proximity and traceability of key operations</strong>.</p>
<p>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 <strong>informed, personal and grounded in real use</strong>.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Positioning and pricing: a clear-identity French tool-watch</h3>
<p>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 <strong>overtly decorative luxury pieces</strong>.</p>
<p>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 <strong>stable, morphology-friendly wearing comfort</strong>.</p>
<h3>Choosing your Yema: sizing, context and care</h3>
<p>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 <strong>long-term coherence among style, function and maintenance</strong>.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Yema Superman</strong> &mdash; Emblematic diver, bezel lock, strong identity.</li>
<li><strong>Yema Navygraf</strong> &mdash; High-contrast legibility, versatile marine spirit.</li>
<li><strong>Yema Rallygraf</strong> &mdash; Racing codes, readable chronographs.</li>
<li><strong>Yema Yachtingraf</strong> &mdash; Regatta indications, nautical styling.</li>
<li><strong>Yema Flygraf</strong> &mdash; Pilot orientation, clear functional cues.</li>
</ul>
<p>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 <strong>everyday performance over the long run</strong>.</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p><strong>Yema addresses enthusiasts who want expressive tool watches</strong> <strong>rooted in a French narrative </strong>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. <strong>Finally, cross-check your pick with Dialicious customer reviews to validate long-term relevance.</strong></p>

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 personally like this watch a lot, it was delivered to me at the time with a steel bracelet but I prefer it on a blue or black Tropic type bracelet and I alternate. Its diameter is 40mm Waterproof 300m Case thickness 13mm mineral glass Price 300 euros.



But Yema Lagoon Blue Superman…

I've always wanted to buy a Yema, but several criteria were missing before I could take the plunge. Now, everything is there with this Superman Dato. Yema has become a French manufacturer with a high-quality movement created by Olivier Moris: a 70-hour power reserve, more accurate than the COSC (-1 second/day in my case), and what a beauty…

When I first picked it up, I found it a little heavy, but once on the wrist, you quickly forget you're wearing it thanks to its 39.5 mm diameter and the bracelet that perfectly hugs the wrist. The legibility is perfect, with the date ideally positioned. Yes, it has a new look compared to the previous model. Purists will certainly miss it, but since I'm not one, I prefer it this way: it's more modern, and that suits me very well.

The only criticism I could find is its 13.8 mm thickness, which is forgiven thanks to the new locking mechanism for the ceramic bezel, now bidirectional. The bracelet clasp has also been redesigned and now features a fine adjustment. It's water-resistant to 200 meters, has a sapphire crystal case back, grade A Luminova that lasts all night until morning, and finally, a date display—an essential feature for me.

So there you have it… I highly recommend it.

Yema Superman Dato, the one I was waiting for

I always wanted a Yema superman, when I learned that they were going to release it with a "manufacture" movement, it told me biennial launch was on Kickstarter but as I prefer human contact I went to my AD in Lyon to order it.
Ordered mid-February and received at the end of September, a little long but hey.
Once the box was opened (the case is great but hey, it's just a box), I found it magnificent (it's true that photos are always a little misleading).
The only small flaw is perhaps the bracelet which is a little rigid.

The long awaited Superman CMM10...

I bought this yema superman which is no longer produced for its maxi dial I love everything in this watch its case its dial its movement and the revival of the legendary superman maxi dial from the 80s it still accompanies me in the coves of carry le rouet '' or elsewhere superb watch

Legendary

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 second hand.
In the end, it's my most Dress diver!

Vintage is beautiful

I had been dreaming of a Yema Superman for a long time, but I didn't know which one to choose. This proposal made my mind up. Tropical dial, CMM 10 by Olivier Mory, bezel with gray color effects depending on the light, 99 copies. I didn't hesitate for long despite a certain price, but it's a reasonable price for such a beautiful manufacture movement. The FKM bracelet is super comfortable. And the little detail that made me swoon, the spade second hand. Another small hidden detail that's very classy: the number of the watch, mine 5/99, I'm surprised there are still some left. In terms of precision, my watch is at three seconds per day, it's perfect. I'm sure it's a future collector's item.

I dreamed about it without knowing it

<p dir="ltr">(Updated March 2025)</p>

<p><strong>Yema Superman</strong> is a model launched in <strong>1963</strong>, created in Morteau as a French dive watch instantly recognisable by its crown-coupled bezel-lock&thinsp;; built for utility first, it has spanned professional variants and faithful &ldquo;Heritage&rdquo; reissues, up to today&rsquo;s Superman 500 models that push readability, water-resistance and day-to-day versatility.</p>
<h3>Design &amp; legibility: the model&rsquo;s identity</h3>
<p>The Superman&rsquo;s identity rests on a high-contrast, uncluttered dial, bold geometric lume plots, baton/skeleton hands and a decisive unidirectional bezel&mdash;capped by the signature clamp that locks the bezel as you screw the crown&thinsp;; on the wrist, the dial appears large for the stated size, the peripheral minute track is crisp, and the whole display remains instantly intelligible underwater and in the city, so <strong>the visual signature is the &ldquo;locked bezel + clean dial&rdquo; duo that makes a Superman identifiable at a glance</strong>.</p>
<h3>Case, bracelet and everyday comfort</h3>
<p>Historically around 39&ndash;41 mm, modern Supermans come in 39 mm and 41 mm (and occasionally beyond) with a slim mid-case, domed sapphire on many runs, a screw-down crown and solid or see-through backs&thinsp;; full-link steel, tropic/rubber or leather straps round out the options, while compact lugs aid stability, meaning <strong>a 39 mm slips under cuffs like a city tool-watch, whereas a 41 mm adds presence and legibility</strong>.</p>
<h3>Movement: architecture, performance and service</h3>
<p>Vintage Supermans used Swiss bases (ETA 2472, etc.), then, after the relaunch, Sellita SW200-1 or YEMA2000/YEMA3000 (GMT) with hacking and hand-wind&thinsp;; at 4 Hz with ~42 h reserves, they provide solid running, while 4&ndash;6-year service intervals preserve water-tightness and consistency, and the bezel-lock&mdash;properly tightened&mdash;prevents accidental rotation, such that <strong>the &ldquo;Swiss or in-house&rdquo; calibre plus screw-down construction yields a robust balance of accuracy, practicality and upkeep</strong>.</p>
<h3>Timeline &amp; main models (1963&ndash;2025)</h3>
<p><strong>(1963) Yema Superman &ldquo;Scuba&rdquo;:</strong></p>
<p>The inaugural generation for divers: a bezel locked by a clamp engaged by the crown, black dial with large plots and, for the time, high ratings (up to 300 m/990 ft depending on versions). The compact case and straightforward display explain its club-diver success; early runs mixed handsets and texts, with multiple references by lot and market.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>(1968) Yema Superman &ldquo;300 m&rdquo;:</strong></p>
<p>Spec consolidation: reinforced screw-down crown, bolder markers, optional date and a clearer bezel insert. The spirit remains utilitarian, favouring a simple display and steady readability in grazing light. Size stays restrained and the pared-back aesthetics keep it easy beyond the water.</p>
<p><strong>(1975) Yema Superman II &ldquo;Quartz/Automatic&rdquo;:</strong></p>
<p>Amid the 1970s, the line expands to quartz alongside automatics, with sometimes more graphic dials and firmer bezel action. The bezel-lock remains an identity code, and cases shift toward daily urban wear without losing tool intent. Since exact identifiers depend on movement and markets, we keep the umbrella anchor Yema Superman for this &ldquo;Superman II&rdquo; set.</p>
<p><strong>(2018) Yema Superman Heritage &ldquo;39/41 mm&rdquo;:</strong></p>
<p>A faithful neo-vintage return: black/brown/blue dials, period-styled hands, redesigned bezel and the comeback of the locking clamp. Up to 300 m WR depending on series, sapphire, and Sellita or YEMA2000 calibres bring modern usability while preserving historical codes. This collection put the Superman back on European wrists.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>(2020) Yema Superman Heritage Bronze:</strong></p>
<p>Bronze case with progressive patina, contrasted dials, high WR and sapphire for warmed-up legibility. The identity stays strictly readable, and the locking clamp works with the living alloy without losing its safety role. Popular for blending charm and function.</p>
<p><strong>(2022) Yema Superman 500:</strong></p>
<p>A major technical step: 500 m WR, reworked case, optimised clamp geometry and feel, sharper bezel action and improved comfort in 39/41 mm. The watch targets mixed use (water/office) without compromising the read-out, with classic dials and new shades. Reference codes vary by size, strap and colour.</p>
<p><strong>(2023) Yema Superman 500 GMT:</strong></p>
<p>Adding a 24-hour hand and bi-colour inserts while preserving the clamp and slim ergonomics. The GMT layout prioritises clarity: balanced lume, crisp 24-h scale and enough contrast for night reading. For travel, the screw-down crown reassures and the bezel remains secured. As identifiers shift with inserts and bracelets, we group this 500 GMT family under<strong> </strong>Yema Superman.</p>
<p><strong>(2024) Yema Superman &ldquo;Arm&eacute;e de l&rsquo;Air &amp; de l&rsquo;Espace&rdquo;:</strong></p>
<p>Special editions tied to France&rsquo;s Air &amp; Space Force continue the nation&rsquo;s mission-watch lineage: dedicated dials/markings, 300/500 m ratings and tightened QC. The brief remains a simple, reliable, legible instrument for demanding use. The clamp keeps its mechanical safety role.</p>
<h3>Buying advice: size, variants, straps &amp; uses</h3>
<p>If your wrist measures roughly 6.1&ndash;6.9 in, the 39 mm is the versatility sweet spot: subtler profile, easy cuff-fit and intact readability&thinsp;; <strong>for a first taste, a black 39 mm &ldquo;Heritage&rdquo; on steel is a universally safe pick</strong>. Same DNA, less visual mass.</p>
<p>Prefer impact and distance reading? The 41 mm offers a larger dial aperture and stronger bezel presence, useful outdoors&thinsp;; <strong>just ensure the lug drop matches your wrist</strong>. A quick try-on usually decides 39 vs 41.</p>
<p>Style &amp; material: steel is the neutral default, bronze adds patina and warmth with minimal care&thinsp;;&nbsp;<strong>if you wear tailoring, a black or deep-blue dial on brushed steel is easiest</strong>. Save vivid colours for weekends.</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>A hallmark French instrument, the Yema Superman suits enthusiasts after readable, robust divers instantly recognised by their bezel-lock. Between 39 and 41 mm, bronze or steel, 300 or 500 m, the range covers daily life through coastal escapes. <strong>To refine size, material and movement, match try-ons to real use and rely on Dialicious customer reviews to validate comfort, legibility and dependability.</strong></p>
