Yep nothing too too special, though the GMT using a bidirectional bezel (finally, Yema) is pretty nice and I like the no-date configuration of the regular watch. And I agree I think the MN logo would have been better on the caseback.
I do think Yema's in-house GMT is one of the better values out there though, it's quite a bit nicer than a 2893 or Soprod equivalent. I won't be jumping on these but I think anyone who does will be quite pleased.

Are you certain that the movement is better than a 2893?

At least in terms of initial impressions with winding and setting, yes. Obviously I'll have to wait some years to see if it has any problems, but I bought the first-gen Superman GMT with a 2893 and now this second-gen with the YEMA3000 and can say it feels like a much nicer watch.

I have also had experience with Yema service (for a Sellita movement) and am pretty content.

Very informative page on the YEMA 2000 and 3000 calibers. Also, the page details the close interelationship between the Jura regions of France and CH and the reality of the work of "frontaliers" (border workers). This is also the case in Geneva where many will work in GVA but live in France (cheaper). Some of the videos are in French but one can capture that YEMA has some real talent on their team.
