YEMA Superman Steel Bronze Gray

Really enjoy this watch. Fits great,(39mm) aesthetically pleasing, and the customer service has been helpful. The packaging was great as well. However it was missing tropic diver strap. Hoping Yema makes it right and takes care of it.

If you are looking for a bronze 300M diver with an in-house movement that is not Japanese or Chinese you would have to pay at a minimum 5 times what this handsome watch is going for. It is remarkable slim, and while not all bronze, shows as a bronze, and quickly develops patina. The movement is quite accurate. Mine is keeping at about +10sec/day. On the down side, a diver should not be on a leather strap. So I got a silicone strap with a bronze buckle. This should be part of the watch package so you don't have to pay for extra shipping. The watch now functions as it should, a functional and handsome diver that doesn't look like a standard tool watch. The lume is so-so, but good enough. The crown has a tendency to lock very tight if not unscrewed daily. Probably the nature of bronze. The bezel is locked with the Yema lock and is a bit fussy. But frankly, if you are using the barely readable bezel for timing your dive, you have the wrong watch on. Get a Turtle or Mako, or move up to a Submariner. Compared to a Panerai Luminor, the lume on this watch is a small candle compared to a flashlight. But once again, this should not be your tool watch. It's an every day wear watch that you can go straight from the pool to a restaurant (not the boardroom). Best of all, and quite simply its selling point. The price. Can't beat it really. I have 30 mechanicals from PP to Orient, and this one finds itself on my wrist a lot. I swim with this watch without worry and wear it with casual outfits (the after market strap is burgandy silicone, so it looks dressy enough). It looks great with a PRO-V bronze buckle (Panerai look).

Yema was a total joy to do business with. Very fast shipping from France to NH and I was updated at every step in the shipping process. Oh and the watch.. Always had my eye on one on the Superman variations and with the Summer sale I could not resist! Where do you find a watch made in Europe with an in house movement for less that $1000? The fit and finish is on par with watches costing three times as much Very happy with my purchase, highly recommended!!

I bought the green one on Kickstarter. I liked it so much, I bought the gray and Navygraf Marine Nationale Femme. I wanted a watch I could get wet, so that is why I bought it. The bronze and silver work well. I would say the one thing I wish was different are the lugs being shorter. I replaced the leather strap with the rubber one. The rubber strap is long if you have a small wrist like mine, but the loop ring retainer keeps it in place. The underside of the strap is smooth. I would say the watch runs a little fast at +15-30 seconds per day. Overall, a great rugged watch.

When the watch arrived, I was very pleased with the packaging and the carry case it came in. This was much more useful than a big heavy presentation case. The fit and finish of the watch face and case is top quality. My only regret was not ordering the 41mm version. The watch looks too small on my wrist also the strap that came with the my 39mm watch was too small for my wrist. The Yema Crest on the back of the watch had some rough edges. This sometimes makes the watch catch the skin on my wrist.
