A heady spectacle

4.1

I was given this watch for my 20th birthday. It is my first mechanical watch. I had methodically chosen it based on several criteria which were: French, manufacture caliber, diver, domed glass, old house, "vintage" look. I hesitated for a long time with the classic Superman, which I tried and found bland. This watch has a divine and divisive bezel. Going from dark red to a very pale red and from an intense black to a light gray, we never stop playing with its reflections. When we read the time we can not guess which color scheme we will come across. Aluminum is much more lively than ceramic. But much more fragile ... We are surprised at first by its cream indexes and hands, which give a patinated and vintage look. The tone on tone of the date window is to be noted. The red tip at the "shovel" second hand, the superman written in red, and the GMT hand still in red are crucial details for me, which give an overall coherence to the design of this watch. The original metal bracelet is quite qualitative, with a possible micro adjustment, the only downside is the first link which is almost rigid and clearly extends the horn to horn. Now I will tell you about its biggest flaw: the luminescence. When on the new models, Yema now insistently indicates using Superluminova Grade A, we understand that our watch has a low-end luminova. To begin with, the hands have much more luminova than the indexes and we can see it immediately. The watch takes a long time to charge, and the charge decreases visibly. Apart from artificially lighting it using the flash of your phone for several tens of seconds or after intense sun exposure and immediately going to a very dark area, we never see its shine. If I had been able to see this problem a priori I would never have chosen it. To conclude, I think that this watch is not "perfect" to start watchmaking as could be a Sérica, or a Seiko. But its bezel, its domed glass, its versatility on any type of bracelet, its water resistance to 300m, and its unique design make it a completely satisfying watch and a real blessing on the wrist. I think I will wear it with pride all my life.

Good start with this French brand

4.0

The practicality of the GMT function resonates with me, leading to an ongoing quest for an affordable yet commendable GMT watch. I remember reading a review on "Beyond The Dial" of this intriguing watch from Yema, obviously well-known in France but not particularly to me. I have been seduced by the opportunity to match my needs for a GMT and my love for France... Esteemed among watch enthusiasts for their legacy, Yema has further expanded their repertoire with this GMT, obviously complementing their iconic Superman aesthetic with functional diversity and a hint of color on the bezels. I chose the 41mm stainless steel, providing a remarkable 500-meter water resistance, enhanced by a redesigned crown and fortified case back. Two options were on the table regarding the bezel, and I decided to go for the 'Batman' style blue-and-grey bezel that highlights the red seconds hand and 500 meters label. The decision between sizes leans towards the 41mm, which offers better proportions... This is for me, of course. Even though I haven't tested it, I believe it was a good call. The watches feature a sapphire-crystal bezel that, along with the hands and hour markers, is treated with Super-LumiNova for low-light legibility. The locking mechanism on the GMT bezel, a carryover from their legacy dive watches, does the job from a design standpoint but might be redundant from a usage standpoint. The caliber appears to be the in-house YEMA3000 GMT, a robust movement with a 42-hour power reserve and independent GMT hand adjustment. It's working pretty well, obviously, even though I was not expecting anything particular from an accuracy standpoint. From what I've read recently, Yema has made a huge jump with some additional in-house calibers in partnership with Olivier Mory... Wearability is a significant highlight, with two options for straps or a steel bracelet. I have worn both and, as you can see in my photos, I have made the Tropic strap my own. For a bit more than USD 1,000, this Yema is a no-brainer, doing the job with its vintage charm.
