Yema Superman Heritage GMT - Pepsi Bezel - 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.

The Superman Heritage GMT takes Yema's iconic Superman dive watch and gives it a GMT twist. This watch features the same distinctive case and iconic handset as the rest of the superman range but adds a classic pepsi-coloured bezel, which can be used for tracking a second time zone.

The watch is also equipped with the YEMA3000, an in-house movement with a GMT function. This 29-jewel calibre was designed, developed, and assembled in France. It has a bi-directional rotor, a 42-hour power reserve and is adjusted to four positions.

The dial is gloss black and features a classic layout along with Yema’s signature handset. Both the markers and the hands are applied with BGW9 Super-LumiNova to aid legibility in the dark.

With a screw-down crown, domed sapphire crystal, and 300m water-resistance, the Yema Superman Heritage GMT is a reliable companion for when you go travelling.

What We Love

• Yema's use of an in-house movement (especially at this price point) is really unusual and great to see from a relatively small heritage brand. The fact it's adjusted to four positions with an accuracy of +/-25 seconds per day is the icing on the cake!
• The colourful pepsi bezel and crisp white markers not only enhance legibility, but also give the watch a very contemporary aesthetic.
• The unique bezel-lock is a nifty feature for those who take their tool watches seriously, and who don't want to risk the bezel slipping out of position once set.

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 is on its second generation of movements, with the three hand YEMA2000 and the GMT YEMA3000.
