YEMA Superman Maxi Dial Blue - 39mm - 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 Yema Superman has gone large! Yes, the Superman Maxi Dial makes a real statement with its oversized hour markers, blue dial and crisp white hour markers coated with Super-LumiNova BGW9, all of which result in a watch that offers the ultimate in legibility.

Yema also decided to ditch the date window for this watch and add a crosshair design, bringing perfect symmetry to the dial. Iconic Yema features remain though, such as the unique locking diver’s bezel and stylish shovel-style seconds hand.

This is very much a tool watch designed to be used. The case and diver’s style bracelet are fully brushed and the diver’s extension and 300m water resistance are further proof that this is a watch suitable for those who like adventure. Of course, even if you’re not a diver though, the unidirectional stainless steel bezel will allow you to easily time all of manner of things!

Unbelievably at this price point, the Superman Maxi Dial features the YEMA2000 automatic movement, an in-house movement developed by Yema and adapted specifically for this watch, so the crown has no ‘phantom’ date position.

The sapphire crystal is scratch resistant and the double-domed design adds interest and contributes to the vintage look.

This version has a diameter of 39mm and an overall thickness of 13mm. Don’t worry though, if you have larger wrists or simply prefer a larger watch, make you sure you check out the 41mm version.

Why this watch?

• The 39mm size makes it a great choice for those with smaller wrists or those who simply like their watches to wear smaller.
• Clean and crisp blue and white maxi dial for the ultimate legibility and a cool summer vibe.
• It features and in-house movement at a very compelling price.

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.
