Several comments call this watch "vintage inspired". This watch is not "vintage inspired", it's an almost exact remake of a 1970 model. So that goes rather further than "inspired" in my book. The Superman Heritage is pretty much the closest thing to a brand new 60s-70s watch in this genre that you're likely to find. Yema 3D-scanned the original model to get the proportions exact, which by the way is probably the reason for the 19mm lug width.

My father had a Superman, on a tropic, during the 70's. He lost it at a fishing party at sea when the tropic he should have changed a long time ago, broke off the coast of Sète (a port city in Languedoc, France). he had, as a military paratrooper officer, a very active life. I guess the tropic band was badly damaged for a long time... Dad was very annoyed. He's dead since a long time now, but this is the way I remember him, as the 10 years boy I was, looking at him, glorious with his Yema on the wrist. I bought last year the bronze limited edition of this watch, with the "in house" caliber mbp 1000. Relatively accurate watch. And this is how I remember my father. Not with the same watch, or a faithfull reproduction, but in the same spirit. A Yema on the wrist, like him. Among all the French watch brands which reborn actually, Yema is the most serious candidate. During the 70's, I read Yema was one of the most productive watch brand in the world. Thx for the journey in the past, TGV (Train Grande Vitesse :°P )

It has been one of my most warn watches in the year or so that I've had it. You do an excellent job covering the history behind the brand, as always. The bracelet is perfection. I love the sweep on the stop light second hand reaching all the way out to the minute track. Agreed re: it wears a bit larger due to the lack of any drop on the lugs, and the under case protruding on to the wrist. All that being said, it wears exceptionally well. Actually wearing it now, and had it on 2 of the last days. I don't wear watches to get compliments, but this one gets more comments than anything else in my collection. Wonderful review, happy you are enjoying yours! This is a piece that the honeymoon has been extended for me and I don't see that ending anytime soon.

Saw this one at a local online retailer, and I was immediately intrigued by the design. The bezel-locking mechanism is kind of unique and I've never seen anything like it. But it feels like I haven't truly understand about a watch until I've watched your video talking about the history of it and reviewing it as well. Now, I'm strongly considering this one to be in my collection. Thank you, TGV! As always, your videos are excellent. Oh, and also, that's a very sick intro!

Under most Yema watch reviews there are a bunch of hater comments claiming that they are "cheaply made" and other such nonsense. I've never understood why this brand get so much hate given that it is a proper watchmaker with heritage who makes their own movements and who offers fantastic value for money. I suspect that a lot of it is motivated by good old British-American hatred/jealousy of anything French.

I got my superman 3 weeks ago, the 39 mm was a bit getting used to after my 42mm speedmaster but i love it more every time it’s on my wrist.

Can’t wait to take it for a dive/swim

I've owned one now for over a year. So far it's very accurate and reliable. My only issues are the bracelet, which is a real hair puller and the crown which can be hard to seat correctly with the bezel lock. I ordered one with a sapphire crystal and an ETA 2824. I'm assuming that since ETA cut back their outside sales Yema went to Sellita. Overall, I am very impressed.

Hello TGV, I'm really happy about this review. I've been a fan of this brand since I discovered it. Anyone who reads my comments on KZbin knows that I would like to mention them (sometimes in the comments on your channel). There are now a few KZbinrs who have reported on the brand. The brand is something special. A great history, although it was only founded after the WWII. I also like the fact that the brand has a very wide range from inexpensive watches to luxury watches. However, I would not call Yema a microbrand. Yema is one of the best-known national watch brands in France with corresponding sales. By the way, there is a no date Superman, one of the bronze watches. Unfortunately it is already sold out, but can be obtained from the used market. This watch was available through a Kickstarter campaign last year. I got both a 41mm and a 39mm via Kickstarter. One for me and one for my lady. I don't know now whether you have ever done anything about Dodane (French pilot's watches). It would be nice to see something about it on your channel. A real microbrand would also be Hentschel in Hamburg, Germany. It is a small family company with its own in-house calibers. The watches often have a maritime reference. The brand already has a certain level of awareness through print media and TV in Germany. All the best and stay healthy René

Such striking, interesting watches in the current Yema collection, one of the most exciting brands just now I think. I too would love to see a no-date Superman, but I'm sorely tempted all the same, or perhaps the Navygraf. So nice to spend some quality time with this gorgeous timepiece. Thanks TGV.

I’ve been eyeing this one for a while, had no clue you had a vid on it. I’m probably sold now. Great video as always!

I've got the superman and totally love it, recently put the chocolate brown leather strap which I got from the Yema website and have worn it more than some of my other watches.

Hey! How do you like the 41mm Yema you purchased? I’m hoping to buy one as well but can’t seem to find any reviews of the 41mm.

I own this watch as well, I went with the 41mm version tho. I will admit it is a cool looking piece, a Submariner homage if you will. There are days that I wear this Superman over my Sub C no date or my Planet Ocean XL. For the price it’s a well made and understated watch. The vintage Yemas have a huge cult following.

Wow .... I never knew how important this brand is/was. I'd like to know more about the in house developed mechanism. I'm definitely going to forward this video to my watch club for discussion. I would not be surprised if some members make Yema purchases. Also, a future video on the chrono would be welcomed.

TGV… do a battle of the French watches: the heritage Yema vs the Baltic Aquascaphe!
@chriscarbaugh39363 жыл бұрын
Funny this or Baltic. I was leaning Baltic as she is so pretty; but an in house movement here? Yema might be the one!

Because of you, I bought a Yema Superman Air Force Superman Limited Edition in black. I got it today and wear it on my hand, and to tell you the truth, I am a very happy man!

I have 2 of the Superman Reissues with the in house movements...The mysterious blue and the Swell. Even cooler than the vintage in my opinion.

Great to see this brand get reviewed. I stumbled upon them when they introduced the bronze Superman. Love it a lot. That amazing blue face just pops. Hope to see them get more recognition.

Great review TGV. I really like the look of the Yema Superman. Luckily, a quick look at their website confirmed a 20mm lug width for the 41mm case size. However, the 41mm version does come with a different bracelet. Please consider reviewing a Tutima watch. Looking forward to the next one. Best regards, Koen

That is fantastic, glad they did that on the 41mm, it makes sense. Tutima, I will have to look into it, any particular model? I hope you are well my friend, thank you as always, Best regards, TGV

@@theurbangentry The Grand Flieger chronograph is the model that interests me the most. It's a pretty big watch, but that's what Fliegers supposed to be. I hope you're well too. Regards, Koen
