To mark 400 years of the Marine Nationale, YEMA dresses its Navygraf diver in warm IP-bronze and deep naval blue finish. The 39mm case, vertically brushed across its flanks, shining at the bevel of the lugs, pairs the unmistakable warmth of bronze tones with the cool authority of the sea. Water resistant to 200 meters and crowned by a unidirectional dive bezel, it is a true tool watch wearing a centenary's worth of history.
A Tribute to 400 Years of the Marine Nationale
In 2026, the French Navy — the Marine Nationale — celebrates 400 years of maritime history, excellence, and service. As the official watchmaking partner of the Marine Nationale, YEMA is proud to honor this historic anniversary with a special commemorative gift.
For every purchase of a Marine Nationale watch, you will receive an exclusive 400 Years Anniversary collector’s patch, inspired by the official symbols and colors of the French Navy.
Exclusive gift offered while stocks last.
MARINE NATIONALE SINCE 1626
A radial-gradient dial deepens from a luminous light blue at its centre to a near-midnight blue at its edge, the sea as it looks from the deck at dusk. Shiny IP-bronze framed indexes, filled with white Super-LumiNova BGW9, sit flush within their bronze surrounds, while "MARINE NATIONALE SINCE 1626" is printed in crisp white beneath the YEMA Navygraf signature. Every hand is finished in shiny IP-bronze; the hour and minute hands are filled with white BGW9 to match the indexes, reaching the same level as their bronze frames for a single, seamless glow.
ELEGANT CRYSTAL BEZEL
A unidirectional 120-click bezel, topped with a blue K1 mineral insert and graduated 0–60, frames the dial. Its luminous triangle at twelve o'clock, printed in white over Super-LumiNova BGW9, keeps elapsed time clearly in view.
DISTINCT IP-BRONZE CASE
The 39mm IP-bronze case (9.75mm thick, 19mm lugs) combines vertical brushing and a shiny lug bevels profile. A domed 2.20mm K1 mineral crystal rises over the gradient dial, catching the light like a porthole. A screw-down crown in shiny IP-bronze, embossed with the polished YEMA signature, seals the case to its full 200 meters water-resistance.
MARINE NATIONALE COLLECTOR'S CASE BACK
The 316L stainless steel caseback proudly displays Marine Nationale's 400th Anniversary badge beautifully embossed with a hydraulic press.
SWEEPING PRECISION
At its heart beats the Seiko VH31 quartz caliber, driving a true sweeping seconds hand: the accuracy and ease of quartz
with the fluid motion of a mechanical watch. Hours, minutes and seconds, nothing more than you need, exactly when you need it.
MARINE NATIONALE PARACHUTE STRAP
This iconic strap was originally handmade by French Marine Nationale combat divers in the 1970’s. The resourceful frogmen fashioned straps from used parachutes by recovering the elastic webbing to sew them back on and adapt them to their diver watches. For years, this type of strap has remained purely military, nowadays it’s a great alternative to NATO straps. Featuring a brushed IP-bronze buckle engraved with the Marine Nationale anchor, the YEMA signature engraved on the
reverse.
SUPER-LUMINOVA®
After dark, the bezel triangle, the indexes and the hour and minute hands all glow in Super-LumiNova BGW9 , orientation and timekeeping, instantly readable below the surface or above it.
