DIAL: POSSIBLY ONE OF THE COOLEST VINTAGE DIALS OUT THERE. THE DETAIL AND DESIGN LANGUAGE ON THIS RACY FACE IS TOO COOL. CHECK OUT THAT MATTE DIAL BACKGROUND WITH THAT DIAGONAL RUNNING SILVERY WHITE STRIPE THAT GOES ACROSS THE FACE. I LIKE THOSE SUBTLE DOUBLE RED PINSTRIPS WHICH RUN VERTICALLY DOWN THE DIAL BY THE DATE WINDOW. MY FAVORITE DESIGN ASPECT IS THAT RALLYE TREATMENT IN WHITE ON THE MINUTE TRACK AND THAT SLOPING WHITE 24 HOUR RETAINING RING. SO MUCH TO LOOK AT, BUT IT ALL COMES TOGETHER BEAUTIFULLY. THE RED TIPPED WHITE HANDS HAVE FULLY INTACT CUSTARDY LUME WHICH PERFECTLY MATCHES THE AGED TRITUM ON THE STEEL MARKERS. ALL TIED TOGETHER WITH THE CITRUS SWEEP SECONDS HAND.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS YEMA RUNS ON A FRENCH MADE MANUAL WINDING 17 JEWEL MOVEMENT WHICH LOOKS VERY CLEAN. 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 CLASSY CROCO GRAIN FRENCH MADE STRAP WHICH LOOKS SUPER SPORTY ON THIS YEMA. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE WATCHES THAT YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO TAKE OFF. YEMA AT ITS BEST. IT’S GOT FUNK IN SPADES AND IS AS RACY AS THEY COME.
