YEMA Superman Bronze CMM.10 lets the diver age with its owner

Bronze is a compelling choice for a dive watch because its appearance changes with exposure and use. YEMA's Superman Bronze CMM.10 pairs a brushed and polished 39 mm bronze case with a rich brown lacquered dial, warm gilt markers and a matching bronze rotating bezel. As the bronze develops a personal patina, the polished and textured case surfaces will change at different rates.

This reference uses YEMA's French-made CMM.10 automatic, providing a 70-hour power reserve at 4 Hz. The case is 11 mm thick, with 300 metres of water resistance and an exhibition sapphire back. A brown FKM rubber strap provides a practical contrast to the case's evolving surface. At US$1,999 on YEMA's official US storefront, this is a modern tool watch with the tactile appeal of an ageing material.
