Built in collaboration with the French Air & Space Force, this military-grade, fighter jet pilot's chronograph is equipped with Seiko's VK64 hybrid mechanism and a rotating UTC bezel that allows reading of a second time zone. Designed as a professional time instrument for the military, this unique tool watch resembles those navigation instruments that can be found on-board fighter jet cockpits offering high contrast and good legibility in all lighting conditions.
Mechanical-Quartz hybrid
The Flygraf French Air and Space Force is powered by a Seiko VK64 Mechanical-Quartz hybrid caliber. The time measurement complication is operated by a quartz movement while the chronograph's hand is controlled by a mechanical module that ticks multiple times per second, perceived by the eyes as a sweeping motion.
FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS DIAL
Strongly inspired by flight instrumentation of military aircraft cockpits, the dial offers uncompromising legibility, an absolute necessity for professional fighter jet pilots.
UTC ROTATING BEZEL
The circular brushed stainless steel bidirectional bezel with 12 hours graduation, provides an easy way to track a second time zone without the need for a GMT movement.

The singular shape of the hands strongly ressemble those found on-board 1950's military aircraft cockpit clocks.
MILITARY-GRADE STEEL CASE
The 41mm 316L stainless steel case has a black PVD coating with a polished finish in elegant contrast with the bezel's circular brushed effect.
FRENCH AIR & SPACE FORCE CROWN
The French Air & Space Force national insignia is beautifully embedded on the crown under a crystal coating.

Featuring a high quality 2.00mm thick K1 mineral double dome crystal for a resolute vintage look.

LEARN MORE
The first YEMA French Air Force tool watches were designed back in the 1970's to equip the Air Force Diver Rescuers team during helicopter-borne sea rescue missions. Later on, the watches were also used by fighter pilots, making of the YEMA Superman a unique SEA-AIR military tool watch.
The French Air & Space Forces having recently merged, this marks the launch of a new collaboration with YEMA through the release of a new collection of military tool watches specifically designed for fighter jet pilots.
YEMA's signature #TimeofHeroes dates from 1970. It reflects the history and values of the brand and what it stands for. It tells the adventures of remarkable sportsmen and explorers who have achieved the extraordinary under the most extreme conditions, with a YEMA watch on their wrists. Since the 1970s, YEMA equips the French Air Force with indestructible, high-precision timepieces.
“France's Air & Space Force is very proud to collaborate with French watchmaker YEMA in crafting professional tool watches specifically designed for our soldiers and made available to the general public.”
Colonel Stéphane SPET
Spokesperson for France's Air & Space Army Chief of Staff
Head of SIRPA Air & Space
