FOR SALE IS A MEGA GROOVY AND RARE 70s YEMA SOUS MARINE WITH CRAZY COOL INDUSTRIAL STYLE CASE.
-
CASE: SOLID STEEL RECTANGULAR TANK CASE IN GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION MEASURING 33mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWN BY 38mm LUG TO LUG. THERE ARE SOME SCRATCHES AND DINGS THROUGHOUT WHICH LOOK COOL ON THIS FUNKY INSTRUMENT. 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.
-
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 DOES HAVE SOME MINOR SURFACE SCRATCHES TOWARDS THE BOTTOM WHICH YOU CAN BARELY NOTICE ON THE WRIST.
-
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 A PERIOD APPROPRIATE OMEGA CORFAM STYLE STRAP WHICH LOOKS SUPER SPORTY ON THIS YEMA. 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.
