Yema Just Did Something No One Else Has: a Mother-of-Pearl Bezel on a Diver
The Yema Navygraf Pearl is a unique dive watch featuring a striking mother-of-pearl bezel, a first in the industry. This innovative approach extends the iridescent quality of the mother-of-pearl from the dial to the bezel, creating a visually captivating effect that transforms a retro diver into a more elegant statement piece. The watch retains the familiar Navygraf case design, measuring 39 millimeters in stainless steel, and offers water resistance up to 200 meters, while the limited edition version comes in a vibrant blue tone contrasted by natural variations in the bezel. Equipped with Yema’s Manufacture Morteau 20 micro-rotor movement, the Navygraf Pearl operates at 4 Hz with a 70-hour power reserve, maintaining a slim profile at about 9.75 millimeters thick. Available with either a brushed steel bracelet or a perforated rubber strap, the watch is positioned as a refined interpretation of dive watches, suitable for formal occasions rather than rugged adventures. With prices starting at $2,549 for the limited edition, Yema's creative use of materials challenges traditional watch design, showcasing how unexpected elements can redefine classic formats.
