Watch Yema Superman 500 Dato Auto White Dial Bracelet Rubber 39MM
NEW, MODERNIZED DESIGN
For almost 2 years, we have been imagining and working on an evolution of the Superman model. Our aim was to bring technical improvements and modernized construction to this legendary model from our collection range, while preserving its iconic design.
NEW ARCHITECTURE FOR BEZEL, BEZEL LOCK & CROWN
The Superman's centerpiece, the nose-block, patented by the brand in its day, has been redesigned to ensure a better fit between the crown tube and the nose-block. The latter is therefore more stable.
To achieve this, we had to redesign all the bezel and crown components. Additional holes were drilled in the bezel to optimize the movement of the pawl spring and ensure more precise alignment of the bezel insert.
CROWN WATER-RESISTANT IN UNSCREWED POSITION
The crown architecture has been completely reworked. The length of the tube between the crown and the lever-block has been modified, giving it better notching and greater stability. When unscrewed, the crown gives a solid, high-quality feel when winding and setting the time.
BOTTOM BOX 50 BAR
A key feature of a diver's watch, and in order to offer this new Superman with a water-resistance rating of 50 bars (500m), the case back has been increased in thickness from 1.5mm to 2.2mm. The historic YEMA coat-of-arms is stamped using a hydraulic press, and is now treated with a variety of bead-blasting processes for a more embossed look.
SUPER-LUMINOVA GRADE A
Changed from Super-LumiNova Standard Grade to Grade A to ensure increased readability. The luminescent marker on the graduated bezel and the arrow-shaped luminescent hand provide the diver with an accurate indication of the dive time in poor visibility conditions at the greatest depths.
MORE RESISTANT DOUBLE-DOME SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL
The Superman 500 features a high-quality 2.60mm thick double-domed sapphire crystal, offering better readability, increased strength and a decidedly vintage look.
The glass has been reduced by 0.3mm in height and widened by 0.6mm in its outer diameter while preserving 2.6mm of thickness, which has the result of making it more resistant on the chased part while keeping the DNA of its so-called "Ice Box" shape.
IN-HOUSE CALIBER YEMA2000
Powered by optimised components, the In-House Calibre YEMA2000 offers slightly higher performance than competing calibres, with a daily drift of +/- 10 s/d and a power reserve of 42 hours.
