3 Years of Development
After three years of meticulous development, YEMA proudly introduces its 3-hand Manufacture caliber, a marvel of modern architecture that boasts chronometric precision, a remarkable 70-hour power reserve, and outstanding resilience to magnetic fields and shocks.
Consistent with their innovative crowdfunding approach, Yema are excited to announce that on November 10th, they will launch a new Kickstarter campaign to unveil the first Superman Bronze models equipped with the groundbreaking CMM.10 caliber.
These exquisite timepieces are available in two dial colors: the mesmerizing gradient blue and the sleek lacquered black, offered in both 39mm and 41mm variants. Each Superman Bronze CMM.10 model is limited to just 1,948 numbered pieces, available at a special rate of €999 (€1,199 including tax for EU residents). This represents a generous discount of -44% off the €1,790 MSRP (-33% for EU residents). Shipping is set for April-May 2024.
Enhanced Bronze Case & Double Dome Sapphire Crystal
Designed with diving professionals in mind, the new bronze case, available in 39mm and 41mm, boasts exceptional brushed and polished finishes, preserving a distinctive neo-vintage aesthetic. Over time, the bronze case will develop a unique patina, rendering each watch truly one-of-a-kind.
To enhance readability and durability, these collectible timepieces feature a high-quality double-domed sapphire crystal, standing at a height of 2.20 mm. This choice not only improves clarity but also enhances resistance and contributes to the watch’s neo-vintage appeal.
The iconic Superman Bronze dials, now available in gradient blue and lacquered black, proudly bear French inscriptions, underscoring YEMA’s commitment to French craftsmanship. Additionally, the “MANUFACTURE FRANÇAISE” signature at 6 o’clock reflects YEMA’s new stance following the internalization of component manufacturing for the CMM.10 caliber.
To achieve a more balanced overall design, the classic Superman hands have received subtle refinements, and the legendary “shovel” second hand has been replaced with a lollipop sweep hand.
Professional Dive Watch Bezel & Grade A Super-Luminova
The rotatable bezel stands out for its intricate design and impeccable finishing. Entirely crafted from bronze, its circular brushed finish elegantly contrasts with the case’s vertical brushed finish. This newly developed bezel offers unidirectional rotation, a 0-60 count-up scale, and a luminescent marker at 12 o’clock treated with Grade A Super-LumiNova, which matches the luminescence of the hands and markers. These features are vital for professional divers.
Tropic FKM Viton® Rubber Integrated Bracelet
The transparent sapphire crystal display case back provides a view of the CMM.10 Manufacture caliber and ensures water resistance up to 30 BAR (300m/990 feet). Each case back is engraved with a unique serial number and Limited Edition designation.
Tailored for the Superman Bronze CMM.10, the Tropic integrated bracelet is meticulously crafted from RUBBER FKM VITON®, ideal for intense use in extreme conditions. This material is lightweight, flexible, dust-repellent, and impressively resistant. The bracelet is paired with an elegant, high-quality IP bronze buckle.
“Once again, Yema is turning to Kickstarter, this time with the Yema Superman Bronze CMM.10. It’s a tried-and-true approach that has consistently delivered results. I personally acquired a Yema Superman Bronze GMT through Kickstarter a few years ago and was thoroughly satisfied with both the buying process and the quality of the watch. There’s no doubt in my mind that this new campaign will achieve the same level of success as previous Yema Kickstarter endeavors.
Utilizing a crowdfunding platform not only funds the project but also introduces Yema to a broader audience, contributing to the brand’s growth. I wholeheartedly wish them success and look forward to examining one of these watches up close after their release. Some brands don’t necessarily require the financial support from Kickstarter; instead, they leverage the platform to build anticipation and generate interest.”
