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.

First edition of the Superman Heritage 63 in a limited series of 1000 copies released in 2020, this model is equipped with the famous tortoiseshell bracelet also limited to 500 copies out of 1000.

Apart from this famous unique tortoiseshell bracelet, a real gem of the brand (except the rather cheap clasp), this watch is a direct tribute to the 1963 diver and takes up its codes, which gives it a very vintage side with the most beautiful effect. Black lacquered dial, applied and circled indexes, domed sapphire, green lumi, date window also circled, in short a multitude of details that make this model (39 mm) unique with very neat finishes. The photos speak for themselves. A must-have in your collection of divers...



Almost perfect

Mra first Yema. a real beautiful diver.... And French too...cock-a-doodle-doo. It houses an ETA movement. (a real tractor). Very nice proportions, perfect for chicken wrists. The bezel block really gives a unique look to the watch. Even if it is not very practical for calculating the cooking of pasta. a beautiful rebirth of Yema

Superman legacy.

Yema Superman Héritage quartz, 39 mm, coral dial...pleasure purchase far from the controversies of color, movement, legitimacy...I found this watch very pretty, preferably with the tropic bracelet. Once on the wrist it is light but with a little lack of comfort due to my bracelet / wrist size ratio! About 310 euros...that's fine!!!👍😁

The red is on!!!

After 1 and a half years of intensive wearing of my Yema Superman Heritage Dark blue Quartz, it remains faithfully attached to my wrist, to my great pleasure. Indeed, this timepiece can count on a "hell of a face" - the iconic one of the Superman model -, on an attractive price and on perfect dimensions, to seduce all wrists. One last little piece of advice, in case of a problem, avoid Yema after-sales service, prefer an independent watchmaker ;)

We are inseparable!

Hello everyone, I bought this Yema 4 years ago now and I still can't get enough of its design, which to me looks like a flying saucer. I took it in diameter 41 with the bracelet of the American version. Its comfort is amazing, it's a watch that I wear quite often... it well deserves its nickname of French submariner... Its engraved case back is sublime too, I find it very well placed in terms of its price... the site offers a 10% discount. This watch has very good readability, which is important for a 300 m diver... so for me it is the perfect daily... a watch that I really recommend

the superman the perfect toolwatch

I ordered it without having seen it, pre-ordered in 2019 as soon as this reissue was announced by Yema. It is a beautiful little watch with a worked case and sunray dial as I like them. Its precision is top notch (less than 3 seconds per 24 hours) but the original leather strap in the national colors is of poor quality and, despite an exchange from Yema, I had to replace it very quickly. I am also a little disappointed by the crown block which is loose and the tightening which is becoming harder and harder to screw. Overall it is a beautiful watch but Yema must pay attention to its quality. On a leather strap, I find it very charming and I forgive its small flaws.

The one that marks the rebirth of Yema
