Urban Classic Black - Leather

Yema, an unsuspecting name coined by Henry Louis Belmont during a school contest back in his teenage years, goes on to attain a massive following throughout its 72 years of watchmaking. Graduating at the top of his class in the National Watchmaking School of Besançon, Belmont lives up to his title with exquisite timepieces that are out of this world, literally when the Yema Spationaute flew to space on astronaut Jean-Loup Chrétien's wrist. This year, this renowned French company brings you the Yema Urban Classic Black which draws inspiration from the 1960s Yema classic collections.

Yema Urban Classic Black - Leather

Creating a French neo-vintage dress watch equipped with in-house movement, this watch does not fail to deliver. This 37.5mm Urban Classic has an incredible 9mm thin and a lug-to-lug length of 45mm, fitting the smaller end of the scale. This timepiece is protected with a domed Hesalite which adds to the shatter resistance being more shockproof than sapphire. Additionally, the Yema Urban Classic features brushed case with polished edges, giving more definition by putting more effort into the details. Introducing a new 'step' case which features a pronounced ridge around the raised Hesalite, aiming for a more vintage appeal.
 
Underneath the crystal lies a black sunburst dial which dances beautifully in the light. Featuring polished sharp applied indices and a matching polished leaf handset gives the watch a very defined, no nonsense dial which is sharp and straight to the point. Only the 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock markers are replaced with numerals and the iconic Yema logo at the 12o'clock is balanced my "Automatique" at the 6.

The Yema Urban Classic is also fitted with a push-pull crown embossed with the Yema logo which allows for a 100m water resistance. Flip this timepiece over to admire the sleek 316L steel case back that flaunts the Yema's historic crest, elegantly embossed with a hydraulic press.
 
Equipped with our In-house YEMA2000 caliber automatic movement, a stepped-up variation of the MBP1000 Caliber. This magnificent movement yields slightly enhanced precision and durability with optimized components, giving the movement a healthy power reserve of approximately 42 hours. This 29 jewel movement beats at a rate of 28,800 beats per hour with thorough accuracy checks by YEMA watchmakers. On top of that, the movement is gorgeously decorated with stripes and stunning perlage finishing that reflects on their fine craft in producing an in-house movement.
