Inspired by our classic 1960s collections, the Urban Classic is YEMA 's reinterpretation of the quintessential French neo-vintage dress watch. Equipped with our in-house automatic caliber, the YEMA2000, the case of this Urban Classic is inspired by step-case designs and measures just 37.5 mm in diameter and 9 mm thick. The dial features a circular brushed finish with applied hour-markers and leaf-shaped hands.

VINTAGE-INSPIRED DIAL
The dial of this Urban Classic features a circular-brushed soleillée finish and polished applied hour-markers for perfect harmony with the equally polished "leaf" hands. The applied YEMA logo stands out discreetly and elegantly from the dial surface, while the double-domed hesalite crystal adds a neo-vintage charm and softness not found on most modern watches.
HISTORIC CASEBACK
The case-back also boasts a superior finish, with the historic YEMA coat-of-arms integrated in the center using a hydraulic press, and a circular brushed finish all around to highlight it.
"STEP CASE 37.5mm
The 316L stainless steel case is created from a single piece of steel and its shape features a pronounced ridge or "step" around the raised hesalite crystal, reinforcing the vintage style, while the case's monobloc architecture contributes to the 10 BAR water resistance. The contained 37.5 mm case naturally appears larger thanks to its 30 mm dial opening and 45 mm length from lug to lug.
SLIM, DISTINGUISHED CLASSIC WATCH
Designed in the spirit of neo-vintage elegance, the Urban Classic features a case just 9 mm thick. The case's alternating brushed and polished finishes capture the eye, bringing refinement and uniqueness.
IN-HOUSE CALIBER YEMA2000
The second-generation YEMA2000 in-house caliber is powered by optimized components offering slightly higher performance than competing calibers, with a daily drift of +/- 10 s / d and a 42-hour power reserve.
