Yema Unveils Limited Edition Superman Titanium MoonTide CMM.11 Watch

March 17

Yema has launched a distinctive new iteration of its iconic Superman timepiece, the Superman Titanium MoonTide, a limited-edition diver's watch that marries robust functionality with celestial aesthetics. This model stands out with its comprehensive Grade 2 titanium construction, extending from the case to the bracelet, providing a lightweight yet durable wear experience. The watch's design integrates a unique dial texture inspired by the lunar surface, achieved through an oil-press technique on a sandblasted titanium base, giving it a subtle, cratered appearance without appearing cluttered. Legibility is ensured by applied markers and black-plated hands treated with Super-LumiNova BGW9 Grade A, complemented by a date display at the six o'clock position.

The Superman Titanium MoonTide maintains the classic proportions of its predecessors, housed in a 38.5mm case that is 11.3mm thick with a 46mm lug-to-lug distance, offering a comfortable fit that conforms to the wrist's curvature. Its impressive 300-meter water resistance underscores its credentials as a reliable diving instrument. A unidirectional ceramic bezel, featuring a full 0-60 minute scale and a luminous triangle at 12 o'clock, is protected by a double-domed sapphire crystal. A signature feature of the Superman series, the crown incorporates Yema’s patented bezel-lock system, designed to prevent unintended adjustments of the timing bezel during underwater excursions.

Powering this limited edition is Yema's in-house CMM.11 automatic movement, visible through a sapphire caseback. This caliber evolves from the CMM.10 architecture, now enhanced with a date function. Operating at 4Hz, it delivers a substantial 70-hour power reserve and boasts chronometric precision, rated to -3/+5 seconds per day, ensuring reliable timekeeping. The watch is available with Yema’s titanium Scales bracelet, inspired by vintage dive watches, or an FKM rubber strap for a more athletic appeal. Limited to 400 pieces, this exclusive timepiece represents a harmonious blend of historical design, advanced materials, and precise mechanical engineering, reflecting Yema's commitment to independent French watchmaking.

This innovative timepiece is a testament to the enduring spirit of exploration and the meticulous craftsmanship that defines fine watchmaking. It encourages us to appreciate the intricate details and the stories behind every creation, reminding us that true excellence lies in the harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. The Superman Titanium MoonTide inspires a sense of adventure and precision, qualities that drive human endeavor to new heights.
