Watch history buffs know Yema as the choice-brand for the French Navy and Space Agency, which explains their always-impressive specs. This upgraded and updated version of their ‘60s Superman watch is no different, boasting a whole 500 meters of water resistance and an added GMT function to its diver construction. Style-wise, the Superman is a less stout take on the classic dive (chalk it up to French design sensibilities and their love of effortlessly clean lines), though the tool aesthetic isn’t compromised. The robust tip of the second hand and the sort-of flattened, industrialized Jubilee bracelet are excellent examples.
Yema reformats some of the original’s design for an overall easier user experience, without taking away from the satisfying crispness of working a GMT diver. The proprietary bezel-lock and crown tube combo ensures it isn’t just spinning around despite its smooth operation. Plus, the in-house movement is wildly accurate and the brilliant lume has an almost Rolex-esque blue hue. And for a collectibility factor, each colorway is numbered and limited to 200 pieces.
