Yema Superman 500

Produced in 1963, the Superman was initially developed for diving professionals to become today one of Yema emblematic signatures. After two years of research and development, technical improvements have been conducted to give birth to the Superman 500.

Equipped with our in-house caliber, the YEMA2000, the Superman 500 is available in two versions starting from Wednesday June 29. The first 200 watches are engraved with a unique number from 001 to 200 .

The ultimate French professional diver's watch

While preserving its iconic design, this enhanced Superman benefits from a modernized architecture and substantial technical improvements YEMA works now with new local suppliers for a more responsible and better quality production.

The bezel clamp has been redesigned to ensure better stability with the crown tube. New micro drilling in strategic areas of the case right under the bezel allows for optimized rotation of the bezel click spring and a more precise alignment of the bezel insert.

With a new joint layout, it will now be possible to adjust the setting of the bezel and its bezel lock on the surface of the water. The Superman benefits from a 3 bar seal in the unscrewed crown position representing a major improvement.

While maintaining its thickness of 2.6 mm, the double dome sapphire crystal has also undergone a change to make it more resistant while retaining the original DNA of the Superman. The height of the glass has been reduced by 0.3 mm while widening by 0.6 mm on its outside diameter. 

First 200 watches numbered

The bottom of the 316L steel case has been modified from 1.5 mm to 2.2 mm thick, the water resistance increased with 50 bars.

The bottom of the box is developed to resist an intensive use containing YEMA’s historic crest, treated with different methods of microblading which allows it to bring depth. The first 200 watches are engraved with a unique number from 001 to 200.
