The new Superman 500 DESTRO is the first Superman model featuring the crown on the left-hand side of the case, designed to be worn on the right wrist, and make it easier for lefties to wind their watches using their dominant hand. Equipped with our In-house Caliber YEMA2000 and for the first time water resistant to 500m, this enhanced Superman benefits from a modernized architecture and substantial technical improvements that position it as the ultimate French professional diver's watch.

NEW IMPROVED DESIGN
For almost 2 years, we have worked on a substantial evolution of the Superman model, by bringing technical improvements and a modernized architecture to this legendary YEMA model, while preserving its iconic design.
ENHANCED WINDING CROWN
The winding crown's architecture has been completely reviewed. The crown tube and the winding stem have been modified to provide a smoother operation of the various pull-out crown positions and rotating directions when adjusting the caliber functions. When winding and setting the time of the Superman, the improved crown provides a feeling of stability and quality.
A new arrangement of the winding crown seals makes the Superman benefit from a 3 bars water resistance with the crown unscrewed. This enables bezel rotation on the water surface before starting a scuba diving descent, to ensure accurate dive times.
BEZEL & BEZEL-LOCK NEW ARCHITECTURE
The bezel-lock, the Superman’s centerpiece which design was patented a long-time ago, and the crown tube have been redesigned to ensure a smoother operation and that the bezel-lock stays securely in place.
The bezel and the crown have also been redesigned. 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.
MORE RESISTANT DOUBLE-DOMED SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL
The new double-domed sapphire crystal offers better readability, increased resistance and a resolute vintage look.
The crystal has been reduced by 0.3mm in its height and widened by 0.6mm on its outside diameter so as to provide better seating in the case while preserving its 2.6mm thickness and the beautiful magnifying effect when looking through it from an angle.
50 ATM CASE BACK COLLECTOR'S EDITION 001/250
The 316L stainless steel case back thickness has been increased from 1.5mm to 2.2mm so as to achieve a 50 ATM water resistance. YEMA's historic crest, embossed with a hydraulic press, is now treated by various microblasting processes, which results in a more accurate and precise finishing.
The timepieces are individually engraved with a unique number from 001 to 250 and the mention LIMITED EDITION.
SUPER-LUMINOVA GRADE A
The markers, hands and bezel are treated with Super-LumiNova Grade A to ensure increased readability.
The bezel’s luminescent marker at 12 o’clock and the luminescent arrow-shaped minute hand provide scuba divers with an accurate indication of dive times in poor visibility conditions at the greatest depths.
YEMA2000 IN-HOUSE CALIBER "NO-DATE"
YEMA2000 IN-HOUSE CALIBER "NO-DATE" The second-generation In-house Caliber YEMA2000 is powered by optimised components yielding slightly better performance than similar Standard Grade calibers, offering a Daily Rate of +/- 10 s/d and a power reserve of 42h. This YEMA2000 "No-Date" version has no date nor phantom date position on the crown.
Thanks to a new movement holder design, our In-house Caliber offers increased resistance to shocks and vibrations.
DISTINCTIVE DESTRO DIAL
The Superman 500 DESTRO features an anthracite gray colour dial which is unique to this Limited Edition. The absence of the date complication allows a sleek and harmonious dial design with perfectly symmetrical elements while enhancing readability.
STAINLESS STEEL SCALES BRACELET
New reissue of the iconic YEMA Scales bracelet from the 1960s in polished/brushed 316L steel, featuring a new double security buckle with a diver extension for easy and quick adjustment over a diving suit.
DISCOVERDIVER STEEL BRACELET

RUBBER FKM VITON® BAND

The elegant 316L Stainless Steel deployment buckle adds style and comfort
