YEMA Meangraf Sous-Marine Y60

The Bôle family has a long watchmaking history spanning over several decades. This legacy is now managed by the third generation, YEMA’s Managing Director and Head of Design, Christopher Bôle.

In 2022, Christopher reinterprets the iconic 1960s Meangraf model by incorporating modern features while preserving a strong neo-vintage style. 

This design exercise results in a stylish, all-terrain luxury tool watch that can be used in multiple professional scenarios, on land or in the depths of the oceans around the world. It is also meant as an everyday watch that will turn heads wherever you go because of its original design.

PREMIUM SAPPHIRE BEZEL

The MEANGRAF's bi-directional diving bezel is made of extremely durable, scratch resistant sapphire which confers a premium aspect to the watch.  The aluminium insert beneath offers luminous markings to easily calculate dive time under low light conditions.

ORIGINAL NEO-VINTAGE DIAL

Inspired by vintage MEANGRAF models, this original dial design is instantly recognisable by the slightly recessed hour markers, the large minutes and 24h rehauts and the famous yellow vertical stripes and sweeping second hand.  

COMPLEX CASE CONSTRUCTION

The MEANGRAF's case is arguably the most complex case made by YEMA.  The built-in bezel represented a design challenge in terms of both functionality (a diver should easily manipulate the count-up bezel wearing diving gloves) and engineering. The result is an original, stylish 39mm 316L Stainless Steel case with elegant brushed-polished finishes with a strong neo-vintage design that doesn't compromise its primary function as a professional tool watch. 

HELIUM ESCAPE VALVE

Due to the complex case structure with recessed bezel, our watchmakers proposed to implement a helium escape valve so as to achieve YEMA’s standard tool watch Water Resistance of 990ft / 300m. This feature is normally found in higher-end dive watches.

MESH BRACELET

Made of Milanese mesh for greater flexibility, the clasp is engraved with YEMA’s logo and it's easily adjustable to fit all wrists.

DAILY USE
VINTAGE LEATHER STRAP

For daily use, we recommend the vintage brown leather strap with large perforations reminiscent of ancient sports car's steering wheels.

This strap comes with YEMA's new high-quality steel buckle.

PROFESSIONAL USE
RUBBER FKM VITON® BAND

Specifically designed for the MEANGRAF, the new RUBBER FKM VITON® BAND has been engineered for intensive use in all extreme conditions thanks to its light, flexible and highly resistant VITON® material which also repels dust.

The elegant 316L Stainless Steel deployant buckle adds style and comfort.

REFINED CASE-BACK

Developed to withstand intensive use, the 316L Stainless Steel case back is decorated with YEMA's historic crest

SUPER-LUMINOVA®

The hands, dial markers and bezel graduation are treated with a luminous coat of SUPERLUMINOVA® BGW9, so as to offer perfect readability in low light conditions.

Over the past two years, YEMA has made significant investments aimed at insourcing a good part of its production and constantly improving the quality of its manufacturing processes by using new equipment as well as expanding and modernising its workshops and production lines.

In addition, the Franco-Swiss Jura region being increasingly integrated, YEMA now works with new local partners to secure a more responsible and higher quality production. Werthanor, a Swiss company located 15 km from our workshops, which works with the biggest watch brands, is one of our main suppliers.
