To mark 400 years of the Marine Nationale, YEMA dresses its women's military Navygraf diver in a 34mm warm IP-bronze case. Vertically brushed with a shiny bevel and finished on a supple IP-bronze mesh, it trades the diver's depth for an everyday elegance, yet keeps every cue of its nautical heritage intact.
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
At its centre, a matt white mother-of-pearl dial shimmers with the unrepeatable grain of natural nacre, no two watches alike. Shiny IP-bronze framed indexes, filled with Super-LumiNova BGW9, sit flush with the surface, while the texts and minute track are printed in navy blue and "MARINE NATIONALE SINCE 1626" is rendered in IP-bronze beneath the YEMA Navygraf signature. Hour and minute hands in shiny IP-bronze are filled with white Super-LumiNova BGW9 and finished to the same level as the indexes, the seconds hand sweeps in matching shiny IP-bronze.
ELEGANT CRYSTAL BEZEL
A unidirectional 120-click bezel, topped with a white 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 34mm IP-bronze case (8.50mm thick, 16mm lugs) combines vertical brushing and a shiny lug bevels profile. A domed 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 100 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.
IP-BRONZE MESH BRACELET
An IP-bronze Milanese mesh bracelet, tapering elegantly from 16mm to 14mm, wraps the wrist with the fluid drape only mesh delivers. It fastens with a clasp engraved with the Marine Nationale anchor.
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.
