NEW, MODERNIZED DESIGN
For almost 2 years, we have been imagining and working on an evolution of the Superman model. Our desire was to bring to this mythical model of our collection, technical improvements and a modernized construction while preserving its iconic design.
CROWN WATER-RESISTANT IN UNSCREWED POSITION
The architecture of the crown has been completely reworked. The length of the tube between the crown and the bezel lock has been changed, giving it better notching and stability. When winding and setting the time, in the unscrewed position, the crown provides a solid, high-quality feel.
In addition, our ambition was also to provide it with a fundamental technical improvement to allow it to be adjusted even to the surface of the water before immersion. A new arrangement of the crown seals allows for more rigidity during use but above all to benefit from a water resistance of 3 bars in the unscrewed crown position. It will now be possible to adjust the setting of the bezel and its bezel lock on the surface of the water.
NEW BEZEL & BEZEL LOCK ARCHITECTURE
The bezel clutch, the centerpiece of the Superman, patented in its time by the brand, has been redesigned to ensure a better fit between the crown tube and the bezel cap. 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.
STRONGER DOUBLE-DOMED SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL
The Superman 500 Destro 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.
50 BAR CASE BACK – LIMITED EDITION 001/250
The main characteristic of a diver's watchdog is that in order to offer this new Superman with a water resistance of 50 bar or 500m, the back of the case has been increased from 1.5mm to 2.2mm thick. The Historical Coat of Arms YEMA is struck with a hydraulic press and is now treated by various bead blasting processes for a better relief rendering.
Each watch is individually engraved with a unique number from 001 to 250 and the words LIMITED EDITION.
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.
IN-HOUSE CALIBRE YEMA2000 "NO-DATE"
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. This movement does not have its date disc or the associated notch on the crown.
Evolution of the fastening system between the caliber and the middle to ensure better movement maintenance and increase resistance to shocks and vibrations.
SINGLE DIAL 500 DESTRO
The Superman 500 Destro features a unique grey dial reserved for this left-handed model. The elimination of the date complication allows for a sleek and harmonious dial design with perfectly symmetrical elements that give it a very sober finish while enhancing its legibility.
