Introducing the Yema Navygraf Barracuda CMM.20 Limited Edition

In a notable collaboration with the French Marine Nationale, Yema has unveiled its latest horological masterpiece, the Navygraf Barracuda CMM.20 Limited Edition. This exceptional dive watch, a tribute to the powerful Barracuda-class nuclear attack submarines and their crews, combines a vintage-inspired aesthetic with state-of-the-art mechanical precision. It boasts a refined, compact 39mm stainless steel case, ensuring a comfortable fit for diverse wrists, while maintaining an impressive 300-meter water resistance, a testament to its robust dive capabilities. The watch's design ethos is deeply rooted in its naval inspiration, featuring a distinctive forged carbon unidirectional bezel. A striking red segment on the bezel, marking the first 20 minutes, subtly references critical submarine synchronization protocols, allowing for precise, at-a-glance timed operations. The dial, crafted from compressed carbon fibers, presents a unique marbled texture on each watch. It is adorned with prominent applied indices and broad hands, all generously coated with Super-LumiNova for exceptional legibility in low-light conditions. A standout oversized red arrow-style minute hand serves as the primary indicator for diving, enhancing its functional appeal. The military theme extends to the reverse of the watch, where a unique red-tinted sapphire crystal caseback mimics the red lighting used within submarines to preserve night vision. This intricate detail not only adds to the watch's narrative but also showcases the insignia of the French Navy's submarine forces. Powering this limited edition of 400 pieces is Yema’s manufacture calibre CMM.20, a micro-rotor movement meticulously designed, manufactured, and assembled in Yema's workshops in Morteau, France. This automatic movement, developed with Olivier Mory, boasts a tungsten micro-rotor, a 70-hour power reserve, and operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, regulated for an accuracy of -3/+7 seconds per day. The Yema Navygraf Barracuda CMM.20 is available on either a black NATO strap for a tactical presentation or a sophisticated steel bracelet equipped with a micro-adjust clasp, priced at EUR 2,249 and EUR 2,499 respectively. Each watch comes with a five-year international warranty, reflecting Yema’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

This release from Yema is more than just a timepiece; it's a narrative on the wrist, connecting its wearer to the silent world of naval operations and the precision required in such demanding environments. The integration of advanced horological techniques with deep thematic inspiration elevates this watch beyond mere utility to a piece of wearable history and respect for the French Marine Nationale.
