I have always liked this brand which despite its history and unfortunately too little known I fell last year for this superb ocean star font Vert which is just magnificent no regrets format of the case contents waterproof 200 meters as beautiful in the city as at sea I find it balanced

Bewitching

First of all I wanted to thank Xavier for creating this platform which brought me by pure chance to this micro brand that I found interesting after some research having checked the opinions of several people here I said to myself there could be something nice I went to check its Bell discovery site I liked the self-taught approach and I ordered an m.m01 package received today super packaging the watch is really nice there is potential I liked the malacite dial all and very well finished Swiss Sellita SW200 movement leather strap in shark nubbukvde super well worked if I can make a small criticism but it marks at 1 year too bad the movement is held by a plastic ring which on a sapphire background looking closely this is it could be easily corrected by a steel ring which would allow to have a more accomplished watch but pleasantly surprised no regrets for the price go check it and really not crazy in short I validate 😉

Common gold

After the resurrection of this iconic brand in 2021 thanks to Guillaume Ladet who, thanks to his vision and his marketing, was able to help revive this sublime and emblematic Swiss watch brand Vulcain, I had to buy one, but I absolutely wanted a resolutely modern Vulcain in specifications while having its vintage side, so I went for the Vulcain Lagoon Bleu which has a fine work, a movement that is certainly simple but ultra-robust, a 2824, but what captivated me was the level of finish for such a reasonable price, happy to have added this piece of history to my collection.

History

When yema returned from the ashes following its buyout I became interested again and fell for the 1st and reissue of their superman series and fell for the superman quartz one of the only watches that I own in Quartz by the way because at the beginning their automatic amber movement had had some problems resolved since what is wonderful this watch accompanies me occasionally but I still love it as much

Iconic

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

My Hamilton khaki field GMT watch that I bought about ten years ago has followed me on so many adventures and trips that it is the ultimate watch for the adventurer, waterproof 200 meters GMT. I don't wear it much anymore, but when I take it out again, it brings back a sense of nostalgia, I still love it as much.

She breathes her DNA

I think everyone knows Longine, this mythical Hydro Conquest has been produced for a long time. It is a superb diving watch. I bought it in black in 39mm, there is ceramic, but I wanted to stay in its DNA, so I bought it 2 years ago and it is still a pleasure to wear it from time to time.

She flies over time

Being passionate about diving watches, there was no doubt that I was surprised when I saw that Mr. Jacques Blanch had reissued his JB 200 with the participation of Mat, who knew all its history and had been looking for a JB 200 or 300 for years but had not been able to get it, unfortunately the happy owners did not want to part with it, not to my regret, I had to participate in the Kickstarter, a purchase that had a great sentimental value, and yes it happens.

Legendary Marseille icons

How I discovered the French brand Charlie Paris. By pure chance, having checked a review by a YouTuber, I became very interested in this brand and then I took the first step, I fell for the Concordia automatic blue, a superb watch, I really don't regret my purchase and a really surprising rqp in view of the stats

Its blue dial captivates me

Being passionate about watchmaking and more precisely about miscellaneous after having bought the Charlie Paris Concordia in 2021, it was not my surprise to see the Concordia GMT limited to 50 copies come out at the end of 2023. I fell for it and had to buy it. It is a great achievement for this French brand that I appreciate more and more. It is the Concordia 2.0 that brings to mind the alliance of the elegance of the miscellaneous and the GMT complication. Since my purchase at the end of November 2023, it is often with me, I love it.

This green takes me to the deep forests of the Amazon

My speedmaster mark 2 is just sublime, I fell in love with it from day one, a mythical watch that could have gone to the moon 🌙 but due to lack of time to test it, NASA preferred the speedmaster icon '' despite everything it had all the stats for a special flight and even much more of the requested criteria ''' in short, a captivating watch

She is divine

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.

(Updated January 2024)

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 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…

You will probably throw stones and anvils at me but yes I do use this magnificent vintage to go diving, not with tanks since I have the misfortune of having asthma but in freediving often on leather straps, in short everything you should not do when you listen to all these people on youtube who tell you what to do without ever having dived themselves. Obviously, I do my waterproofness tests and services so that everything goes as well as possible but to date no problem and if there was a problem, finding parts is not a problem on this kind of watch.

This 241117 from 1973 is older than me and it is my ultimate grail. I only wear it since I got my hands on it last year when I already had 3 other yema superman 241117 and a 530016... In short, you get the idea, I'm a bit of a vintage yema superman nutcase. The only time I don't wear this 241117 is when I use the impact drill or a hammer (and that's just because I'm left-handed).

Being a big fan of the 241117 for several years, my holy grail was to find a yema superman air force, not a reissue but the real vintage one, in short, the thing that is absolutely impossible to find. To my knowledge, there had never been one on public sale, so I wrote a computer program that ran to make sure that if one day there was one somewhere I would be the first on the neck. Very frankly I thought that this impossible quest would last 20 years but by extreme luck I had a touch in only 2 years.

Since then I have developed a serious OCD that makes me go every day to see if yema are on sale even if I absolutely no longer buy anything because for each purchase I ask myself: what is better than my 241117? And nothing, so I no longer buy anything, it is ultimately very good for the wallet.

When I saw this superman, I realized the gap between wanting to acquire a grail and the acquisition process. Given the excitement that should not be made to appear to the seller, it was necessary to trace and prove its authenticity. The seller said he had taken possession of this watch during an inheritance but some details made me doubt, in short it was necessary to appraise this superman in person to understand the ins and outs. After making sure that I could charge back to my credit card in case of a scam, I buy it.

When I receive it, the first reflex is to examine the watch from all angles, everything is clean from the point of view of the parts, the glass has lived and the bezel lock is missing but these two elements are easy to find, obviously it is not a frankenwatch but remains to see the mechanics. The back has many traces of failed opening, clearly someone tried to open it and broke their teeth. Indeed opening the case was not easy, I quickly understand how so many traces are visible, I spend several hours on it but the back does not move an inch, only solution that works, glue a nut on the back of the case and go for it, and tada the movement finally appears: an eta 2452 which fits with its age since yema will move on to france ebauche in the following years. The bottom of the box bears a watchmaker's inscription dating from 1976, in short, incredible, everything matches its year of commissioning and I am very happy with this incredible find. A little message in a bottle, if anyone has one of these magnificent original Superman watches, I would be curious to be able to talk to them about the watchmakers who performed the services on these watches since, to my knowledge, there is no register on which we can go and see this kind of detail.

Superman 241117 Air Force

A French diver at 990 Feet!? Well according to my calculations in French it's about 300 meters, it's really appreciable for this Superman 530016 from the 70's-80's.
I love this diver, its 39mm diameter, its 12mm thickness, its domed acrylic glass, these hands and especially the finesse of the second hand and of course its emblematic bezel block.
I find it both sporty and elegant!
A real all-purpose diver.



superman 

A diver's watch for a guy who doesn't dive is a great classic, but a diver's watch for diving in this deep black dial is essential. I love this watch! And I love these big indexes that click day and night. I was so frustrated by my previous purchase (my Sternglas which is not luminescent, me who loves sleeping with my watch), that I went all out! My first Yema, there will be others!

Diving... at night.

Limited edition for Air Force divers, say the splashes. Robust watch, with beautiful finishes, spade second hand, the inscription 'Air Force' worn in red on the dial, steel bezel, well-made steel bracelet, all this gives it an air of adventurer that I love. My daily for several months now.

Plow

I have this magnificent Yema Superman that has been with me every day for about 3 years. It is a watch as robust as its look suggests.

I was looking for a watch that would have a design similar to the Rolex Explorer with a steel bezel and I found that this model was close to it. I like its diver and adventurous side

Small downside on the luminous indices which are unfortunately a little weak as you can see in the photos (Yema on the left and Seiko on the right)

It is a solid and efficient watch that shares my curious and traveling lifestyle. Despite the corners of tables, low walls, beach, clumsy girlfriend and other hazards of life it holds up wonderfully!

A Superman who can stand up to anything.

Beautiful watch acquired a few months ago for my engagement. I was looking for a fine diving watch with a refined design and a manufacture movement and I was surprised to come across this model.
Yema has developed a new version of the Superman with a sober dial (blue or black) and equipped with a micro rotor caliber.


Beautiful diving watch with a refined and revisited design

For a long time I said that I didn't understand the craze around vintage watches and that it would end up confining creation to the redesign of historical models. I understood even less the "hype" concerning patinas and other wear and tear that we began to consider as treasures. And then I came across this Superman, certainly one of the first series, and its incredible dial that hypnotized me. I felt like I was in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon and going into hyperspace. The Bakelite bezel finished making me capsize and this graceful granny became the first of a beautiful series. Passed through the expert hands of a watchmaker from the Saint-Ouen Flea Market, I wear it regularly without problem. With its diameter and its ultimately very modern design, it has nothing to be ashamed of compared to reissues.

My first vintage

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

The YEMA Superman Maxi Dial Heritage (not called Superman 2). The watch of my 40th birthday, when I was looking for a watch that wasn't precious, capable of taking a bit of everything, a tool, in other words. This watch seems unloved in the old YEMA heritage range. Personally, I find it one of the most successful Superman watches in what it takes from the past & treats it in "today's modernity". A big strong point in my opinion is the almost uninterrupted set "sapphire bezel / flat sapphire crystal". The result is a very interesting large & shiny surface. Very good readability, no problem with the "in-house" MBP1000 movement, Ø40, a watch that goes everywhere & is very distinctive, it's not a sublike or a skxlike. The only modern & successful YEMA diver in my eyes. Only one flaw, which can be remedied, the typo of the date disc, a "Times" residue from another time of the Ambre group. Otherwise, the satin/sunburst black background brings the right amount of sophistication to this great black & white classic. Very good & long-lasting brightness of the dial & bezel indexes. A favorite in the watch box.

The unloved one

This Yema allowed me to add a "little French girl" to my collection, yes! a bit of chauvinism. We no longer present the Superman, its legendary bezel lock (I'm not a diver, but not sure that it's very practical...). This limited series launched on Kickstarter offered the possibility of buying it at a "reasonable" price, moreover, it combines many assets: new Yema 3000 movement, water-resistant to 300m, GMT complication, date. In short, the ultimate travel tool watch with the added charm of bronze and its unique patina. I chose the 39mm model (you could buy it in 41) and I don't regret it for 2 reasons: Identical to the original Superman and it fits all wrists, including mine (17cm).
