YEMA SUPERMAN II MAXI DIAL

In the early 1990s YEMA released the Superman II, evolution of the iconic model. This new edition is in line with neo-vintage watches and is changing the Superman again. The Maxi Dial sees itself entering a new era while taking up the essential and historical aesthetic codes of YEMA. The classic diving hands and the so-called “shovel” second hand make their appearance for a better association with the sunblind black dial and the Maxi Dial indexes.

SUPERMAN COLLECTION: BACK TO ORIGIN

Up-to-date, however, it has many codes and features borrowed from its ancestor dating back to 1964, the famous Yema Superman 24.11.17. Designed to be a robust and reliable diving watch, it was subsequently chosen to equip the French Air Force pilots in the 1970s.

The new Yema Superman, evolution of the first models of 1964 is a water-resistant diver to 300 meters and equipped with a block-glasses at 3 o’clock.

Manufactured movement

The creation in 2011 of the AMBRE MBP 1000 house movement marks a new development for the brand and for the group. Reliability and performance characterize the brand’s legacy. The caliber MBP1000 is a self-winding mechanical movement, made in France, entirely designed, developed and assembled in Morteau within the workshops of the Ambre group.

Equipped with an oscillating mass mounted on a ball bearing rotating in both directions, it guarantees a quick winding of the spring and a 45-hour power reserve. To this efficiency gain is added precision, provided by a regulator whose balance beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.

The stoning totalizes 31 rubies including 2 located at the ends of the axis of the barrel: a technical choice to effectively reduce the friction generally observed at this element on the mechanical movements.

This “house” movement easily passed the so-called “Guillotine” test, subjecting, among other things, the mechanism to a series of shocks on its edge, a guarantee of its solidity.
