FOR SALE IS A MEGA GROOVY AND RARE 70s YEMA SOUS MARINE IN NOS CONDITION WITH CRAZY COOL INDUSTRIAL STYLE CASE AND ORIGINAL STRAP/HANG-TAG
-
CASE: SOLID STEEL RECTANGULAR TANK CASE IN MINT CONDITION MEASURING 33mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWN BY 38mm LUG TO LUG. I LOVE THOSE SCREWS ON THE TOP OF THE CASE WHICH SECURE THE TOP OF THE BEZEL. REMINDS ME OF SOME OF THE MODERN BELL & ROSS OFFERINGS. THIS ONE WEARS MUCH BIGGER THAN THE MEASUREMENTS WOULD SUGGEST DUE TO THAT CHUNKY TANK DESIGN. THE ORIGINAL STICKER IS A NICE TOUCH!
-
DIAL: CLEAN AND HIGHLY LEGIBLE MILITARY STYLE DIAL WITH SOME COOL AGED LUME. I LOVE THAT MATTE BACKGROUND. THAT ORANGE SWEEPER GIVES THIS ONE A FUN POP OF COLOR. THE ORIGINAL GLASS CRYSTAL IS TOTALLY SCRATCH FREE.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS YEMA RUNS ON A FRENCH MADE FE AUTOMATIC CALIBER WITH QUICKSET DATE. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT WATCH HAS BEEN BEHAVING WELL AND KEEPING TIME CHECKED OVER A WEEK OF ON/OF WRIST OBSERVATION.
WATCH IS MOUNTED ON ITS ORIGINAL RUBBER YEMA SIGNED STRAP WITH PVD CLASP. THIS IS REALLY A FUN PIECE. THE TANK CASE CONSTRUCTION WITH THE SCREW DOWN HARDWARE ON THE TOP MAKES THIS A GNARLY VINTAGE TOOL WATCH. ON THE FLIP-SIDE, THE MINIMALIST DESIGN AND THE SMALLER SIZE COULD EASILY ALLOW THIS YEMA TO SERVE AS A FUNKY DRESS-WATCH...THINK ALTERNATIVE TO A CARTIER TANK. EITHER WAY, THIS IS FRENCH 70s STYLE AT ITS COOLEST. THE ORIGINAL HANG-TAG MAKES THIS THE PERFECT COLLECTOR’S GRADE PIECE.
