Yema has unveiled its latest innovation, the Navygraf Meteorite CMM.10, a timepiece that beautifully marries ancient cosmic material with contemporary watchmaking expertise. This limited-edition dive watch, available in black or green, integrates a dial made from the extraordinary Muonionalusta meteorite, a relic from the early solar system. This release marks a significant step in the Navygraf series' evolution, moving beyond conventional designs to embrace unique materials and advanced in-house movements.
The Navygraf Meteorite CMM.10 features a robust yet elegant 39mm titanium case, meticulously crafted with a vertical brushed finish and polished bevels, creating a striking contrast. Its 11mm thickness and 46mm lug-to-lug dimension ensure a comfortable fit. A 120-click unidirectional bezel with a black stainless-steel insert and a 0–60 minute scale provides essential dive time measurement. The watch is protected by a double-domed sapphire crystal, preserving a vintage aesthetic while offering superior durability. On the reverse, a sapphire display window offers a glimpse into the sophisticated CMM.10 movement, with the surrounding titanium engraved with the watch's individual limited-edition number. With a water resistance of 300 meters, this model upholds the rigorous standards of a professional dive watch, presenting a refined alternative to the brand's well-known Superman series.
The centerpiece of this exclusive timepiece is its dial, available in either black or green, fashioned from the ancient Muonionalusta meteorite. This iron-nickel meteorite, estimated to be 4.5 billion years old, exhibits a distinct Widmanstätten pattern. This unique crystalline structure, formed during the meteorite's extremely slow cooling over millions of years, becomes visible when cut and polished. As light interacts with the dial, the pattern's visibility subtly shifts, making each watch uniquely individual. Applied hour markers and hands are coated with Grade A BGW9 Super-LumiNova, emitting a blue glow for optimal readability in low-light conditions. A luminescent triangle at the 12 o'clock position on the bezel further enhances functionality, complemented by a white minutes/seconds track circling the dial's edge.
Powering the Navygraf Meteorite CMM.10 is Yema’s proprietary CMM.10 automatic caliber. This in-house movement, developed in collaboration with Olivier Mory and assembled in Morteau, France, operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, offering a substantial 70-hour power reserve. Its design incorporates a large barrel and a unidirectional rotor with ball bearings. Yema guarantees a chronometric performance of -3/+5 seconds per day, along with enhanced resistance to magnetic fields and shocks, ensuring precise and reliable timekeeping. The watch is completed with a vertically brushed titanium bracelet, mirroring the case finish, and a folding clasp equipped with a micro-adjustment system for a secure and comfortable fit.
The Yema Navygraf Meteorite CMM.10 is a testament to the brand's innovative spirit, offering a distinctive blend of cosmic heritage and advanced horological craftsmanship. This limited release of 150 individually numbered pieces, priced at EUR 2,900 or USD 3,350, offers enthusiasts a rare opportunity to own a piece of geological history on their wrist, distinguished by its unique meteorite dial and robust titanium construction. It represents a noteworthy addition to Yema’s growing collection of sophisticated dive watches.
