I recently learned about Yema.
I was drawn to the Superman heritage blue for many reasons - I have a soft spot for vintage style (Swiss) watches. I have a bit of French heritage and a love for all things French (wine, cooking, etc). I was looking for a blue dial diving watch. I was looking for something unique and not an homage style watch. I have a true love and appreciation for quality, refined craftsmanship.
This watch is gorgeous. I am EXTREMELY pleased with the watch. It has such an elegant, refined, classic look all while looking and feeling like a true tool watch. The fit and finish is excellent. The proportions are dead on. I absolutely love the bracelet. It has its own vibe. It is very comfortable. It is more on the mid-to lighter weight as far as bracelets go. I really appreciate this. I work with my hands and I feel comfortable wearing this watch. It wears fairly slim/low on the wrist even with the boxed domed sapphire. The sapphire is executed SO WELL. reminiscent of 1940’s & 1950’s Swiss moonphase watch crystals in my collection. Something to keep in mind - the solid end links do not articulate completely so, this causes the effective lug to lug dimensions to be a bit longer than the actual lug to lug measurement. I went back and forth for days and days trying to decide which case size to go with. I have a wrist size of 175mm. Due to the end links I would highly recommend the 39mm. Unless of course you have a large wrist (I’m thinking over 7.5”?). The Sellita seems 200-1 movement has been running better than I had hoped for averaging +2.5 spd on my model. To echo a few of the reviews I have heard the only “negative” feature on the watch would be the clasp. I actually have no problem with the clasp, but it does seem like a bit of an afterthought because the rest of the watch is so beautifully executed.
I am EXTREMELY pleased with Yema. The communication with the team at Yema was easy, convenient and helpful. David, Celine & Martine are the folks that answered all my questions in a timely, efficient & pleasant manner.
Shipping was fast! I placed my order on a Sunday night and received the watch (USA) on Thursday.
I cannot say enough positive things about my experience. I highly recommend the brand. Customer service was great. I highly recommend this watch, especially for someone looking for that vintage look/feel but with modern reliably and other aspects.
LOVE my Yema Superman Heritage Blue!!!!
