Witness the Sublime Elegance of Yema’s Navygraf Pearl CMM.20, Boasting a Shimmering Mother-of-Pearl Dial

Yema, the French watch connoisseur known for its robust tool watches, has broken new ground with its Navygraf Pearl CMM.20 model, proving the brand’s mastery in merging functionality with aesthetics. The Navygraf series, a cornerstone of Yema’s collection since the 1970s, has been reimagined with a sophisticated mother-of-pearl dial and bezel, bringing a refreshing hint of glamour to the rugged diver’s watch.

Born out of Yema’s partnership with the French Navy, the Navygraf arose as a simplified version of Yema’s iconic Superman dive watch from 1963. With a tweaked design targeting recreational divers, the original Navygraf debuted notable features such as a bakelite bezel insert, characteristic exclamation-point markers, and 200m water resistance. Fast forward to today, the Navygraf Pearl edition carries on the legacy of its predecessors while showcasing a stunning upgrade - a radiant mother-of-pearl dial and bezel.

The watch’s aquatic theme is also echoed through distinctive design elements: the Superman hour and minute hands, the circular indices with rectangular markings at quarter intervals, and the use of Super-LumiNova for better visibility in the deep sea. Despite its classy demeanor, the Navygraf Pearl is still dedicated to functional excellence with features like unidirectional bezel, screw-down crown, screwed caseback, and 200m water resistance.

Housing the brand’s signature automatic movement, the CMM.20, Yema’s latest diver watch features a sturdy tungsten micro-rotor mounted on ball bearings, this ensures sufficient energy for a robust 70-hour power reserve. This surprising amalgamation of robust functionality and mesmerising beauty preserves the brand’s heritage while pushing the boundaries of conventional watchmaking.
