Superman Gilt CMM.10 Green 39mm

Created by Henry Louis Belmont, a graduate from the National Watchmaking School of Besancon, YEMA was founded in 1948 and has been producing fine quality watches since. Along with some household names in the field of watchmaking, YEMA has concentrated on producing mostly emblematic and mechanical timepieces, including sports divers for pilots, racing drivers and underwater divers. Its repertoire includes reviving the YEMA Superman, commonly touted as France's legendary dive watch.
 
Introduced in 1963, the Superman took the dive watch community by storm with its outstanding 300m water-resistance and idiosyncratic bezel-lock device. Today, we introduce the revamped and upgraded Yema Superman Gilt Green CMM.10. "CMM" which stands for Calibre Manufacture Morteau, meaning the movement is developed in-house by YEMA themselves.

Watch enthusiasts can rejoice that the design of the YEMA Superman 39mm adheres to the trademark shape of the Superman. The thin, extended "skin diver" shape, crown and locking device, sapphire bezel and elevated crystal have all remained in this latest rendition of the Superman. The pointy lugs with holes, as well as sharp crown guards, have too been preserved to contribute to the retro vibes of this timepiece.
 
Where it sets itself apart from previous models is the dimensions. Measuring a diameter of 39mm, an incredible 11.3mm thin, with a lug to lug of 47mm. This timepiece enjoys a unique dressy green gilt dial with white printed markers, polished stainless-steel hands, highlighted with gold accents. The bevel enjoys beefed-up specifications and diving capacities. Firstly, the date complication removal offers an elegant and seamless dial design with symmetrical elements while enhancing readability. The new double domed sapphire crystal also provides better readability amid a more resolute resistance as well as a sturdy retro appearance. Next, this timepiece sees a sapphire crystal case back to give a 300mm water resistance.
 
Also thoroughly revamped is the winding crown's architecture. The modified crown tube and the winding stem offers a smoother operation of several pull-out crown positions and rotating directions when altering the caliber functions. Enjoy the feeling of stability and quality when you set the time of this Superman or wind this watch for pleasure purposes.

Precise dive times are enabled by bezel rotation on the water surface prior to a scuba diving descent. The bezel-lock that remains securely in position, the patented design of the Superman's centerpiece and the crown tube have been refurbished, thus guaranteeing a more seamless operation.
 
New micro drilling in key areas of the case right under the bezel permits an optimized rotation of the bezel click spring and a more accurate alignment of the bezel insert. Super-LumiNova Grade A generously coats the markers, hands and bezel for better readability. The bezel's luminescent marker at 12 o'clock and the luminescent arrow-shaped minute hand give precise indications of dive times in poor visibility conditions at the greatest depths.
 
After 2 years of optimisation, Yema has finally debuted the new In-House Caliber CMM.10 which is featured on this watch. It features self-winding with ball bearings rotor while beating at a higher 28800bph or 4 Hertz with a 70h power reserve. The 316L Stainless Steel bracelet with a secure lock is equipped with a diver extension for comfortable wearing over a diving suit.
