A major evolution of YEMA's 1960s iconic model, the new Superman 500 is the worthy heir to its predecessors. 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 positions 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.
CROWN & BEZEL-LOCK NEW ARCHITECTURE
Redesigned to ensure a smoother operation and that the bezel-lock stays securely in place
BEZEL
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.
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.
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.
CLASSIC NEO-VINTAGE DIAL
The date complication removal allows a sleek and harmonious dial design with perfectly symmetrical elements while enhancing readability.
50 ATM CASE BACK
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 new Yema Superman 500 series seamlessly blends hardcore diver capability with a sleeker, more fashionable spirit to create a stunning testament to the brand’s newly revitalized capabilities. "
"What’s important to know with this new Yema Superman 500 is the fact that what we love in this watch is intact, and only what’s “under the hood” has been upgraded."
"Overall, the Superman 500 is quite the watch, though, especially when you take the movement into account. "
"Circling back to all those who have asked me about a quality daily watch close to $1,000 USD, I would say it’s hard to beat the 500m depth rating, usage of an in-house calibre design, and level of true heritage at this price point."
