The historic collaboration between France's Air Force and YEMA started in the early 1970s through the design of one of the first Superman models to equip a special operations elite team of rescue divers. 

 

 

The most recent collaboration dates from 2017 through which a Superman model was made  exclusively available to French Air Force fighter pilots and personnel.

With this new partnership, France's Air Force envisions an all-round, reliable and perfectly readable tool watch to equip all their staff, from fighter pilots to ground personnel such as technicians and mechanics.

The Superman model is considered by both France's Air Force and YEMA as the ultimate all-round tool watch that meets the specific requirements of air and ground personnel, namely high precision, resistance and reliability as well as extreme legibility at all times.

In this context, two distinct Superman models are proposed jointly with France's Air Force, whom Senior Staff have actively participated in the design, prototyping and testing phases of the project. 

 

 

After two years of close collaboration, France's Air Force and YEMA are proud to officially announce this partnership and will soon unveil two new models that will be made available both in automatic and quartz:

 

 

 

To thank and honor all those who served honorably in the French Air Force military, a portion of the sales will be donated to the official French Veterans Foundation (FOSA).
