Bought at a garage sale, it wasn't really love at first sight but I didn't have a watch in this style and I said to myself if it doesn't work at this price it's not a big deal and if it does work I would have a new French watch with a nice story (homage to Jean Mermoz and his "Southern Cross") in not too bad condition in a style that I don't have. After a few days of doubt I received the battery and in fact since then I haven't taken it off, the bracelet is still a little stiff but it is light, sober, elegant and sporty. It goes with almost all my outfits. Since I appreciate it a little more every day and given the ridiculous purchase price I am thinking of buying it a new glass soon for its only aesthetic defect, a nice scar on the glass, visible but not too annoying either.

The one where it all started! February 2021, wedding anniversary, I've been seriously interested in watches for a few months now and Yema is releasing a superman air force in a limited series of 1948 copies (the year Yema was created). As a former Air Force member, I jumped at the chance and chose the number for the date of our wedding. I discovered the pleasure of wearing an automatic. French in addition, even the movement since Yema 2000. Like its sister GMT, the only criticisms are the date poorly placed under the angle of the glass, the 19mm lug width is really not cool and the metal bracelet is not the most comfortable. Since then, with a blue, white and red nato that never leaves it, it is often my summer watch for the moment.

My first automatic

Well I think everything has already been said about these watches but...in my opinion it's a beautiful swatch of swatch quality, bought 250 is really the max for this watch. After that we like it or not we can not deny as a collector that it is a watch that has marked the history of watch releases like no other. The design is necessarily nice for those who like speedmasters and who can not have one. The big black point for me was the bracelet, I quickly changed it because the buckle where the return of the scratch bracelet passes always ends up on the side of the wrist and personally it bothers me.

Pluto Satisfied

Surely one of my favorites, I like it a lot, as much its size, this touch of color of the GMT, the pie shovel hand of the seconds, the history, that caliber yema 3000 is from a French house (with which I had no personal problems), in fact I find it well made. My only complaints, the metal bracelet that I can't keep, the date that I would have liked more on the left because there it is just under the angle of the domed sapphire crystal and especially frankly in 39 they could have kept the lug spacing in 20mm, 19 is zero as a dimension. Oh and with my stupid humor it always makes me smile to say that it's a superman...batman ;)

Superman Batman 

For me, who is more of a diver, it is the most dressy of my collection for the moment. With its leather strap and polished case, I take it out rather for special occasions. It seems sober until you turn it over and there it reveals its originality with this Hypnotic sistem51 which gives it a very good power reserve for its price. Clearly buy it for that. At this price, why deprive yourself.

sober and original

This is the one I had when I started to get interested in watches, a gift from my wife so very attached. I wore it all the time and it took some knocks but it is really solid. With its 43mm it is big for my 17.5 wrist and I could not adjust the metal bracelet properly being between two links but since then I took a rubber one and in addition to having lightened it I rediscovered the pleasure of wearing it. Very simple aesthetically it is readable, solar quartz and reliable. Only regret the fixed bezel.

At the awards

Light watch, cheap, robust, not too big for a G-Shock, discreet and efficient, it goes everywhere and in addition solar so you can have fun with all the functions even the light and will not be bothered by a battery change too quickly. If ever I do not know what awaits me during the day I choose it.

When in doubt, there is no doubt!
