Yema Rallygraf Grey Tarmac Chronograph Watch - NEARLY NEW

This watch is classed as “Nearly New”, which means that it is either a customer return or a former photo sample. As such it could have very minor signs of wear and may not be supplied with the original box. However, it has still been checked to ensure that it is running perfectly, and it has a 6 month warranty.

Affordable chronographs offer some of the best value for money in watches today. The Rallygraf from Yema is one such watch that punches well above the price you pay. The Rallygraf is a bicompax, sporty chronograph created to an impressive level of quality.

At 39mm wide, with a 48mm lug to lug and a 13mm thickness, the Rallygraf nails wearability whilst also remaining suitably sized for a sports watch. The chances are this watch from Yema will feel very appropriate on your wrist if sports watches are your preference.

Powering the Rallygraf is the Seiko VK64 Meca-Quartz chronograph movement. This movement uses quartz power for the timekeeping with the chronograph function being mechanical. This means that the chronograph hand has the feel of a full mechanical movement, without the higher price point.

Why this watch?

• With its timeless case design, wearable proportions and fantastic deep blue dial colour, this version of the Rallygraf is probably the most modern feeling of the variations on the wrist.
• Yema has some deep connections and real history with the world of motorsports with the likes of Mario Andretti wearing their watches when he was racing. That pedigree oozes out of the Rallygraf.
• We love how these meca-quartz powered chronographs from Yema offer incredible style at a price point that is unbeatable!

About The Brand

French brand Yema has been making watches since 1948, when it was founded by Henry Louis Belmont, and would go on to be the top French exporter of watches in 1966-68.

The brand has produced many reliable models over the decades, such as the Yachtingraf & Rallygraf, but the most famous of which is the Superman. Introduced in 1963, with its iconic bezel lock and 300m water resistance, the Yema Superman was chosen to equip French Air Force pilots. Yema have continued this military history today, with partnerships with both the French Air Force and Marine Nationale.

In 2009 Yema launched their first in-house calibre, making it one of the few brands to offer watches with an in-house movement for less than £1,000. Today the brand are on their second generation of movements, with the three hand YEMA2000 and the GMT YEMA3000.
