YEMA SUPERMAN 500 GMT WATCHES

POSITION A SCREWED-DOWN POSITION
Your Yema watch is equipped with a screw-down crown. A screw-down crown ensures waterproofness
by sealing the crown to the case of the watch.
POSITION B MANUAL WINDING
Your Yema watch is equipped with a self-winding mechanical movement, this means it is wound
automatically by wrist movements alone. To ensure optimum winding, wear your watch daily.
Before you first use the watch or if unworn for a long period of time, you will need to wind it
manually by unscrewing the crown and then turning it clockwise.

REFERENCE TIME
NEW-YORK, US 04 :10

POSITION D REFERENCE TIME SETTING
To set the reference time, unscrew the crown and then pull it out to POSITION D. The seconds hand is
stopped, allowing you to set the time to the precise second.
Set the reference time by turning the crown in either direction. The hour hand moves in increments of
one hour. The date is linked to local time and changes automatically when the hour hand passes
midnight.
Push in and then screw down the crown.
The hour hand indicates the time in the reference local time zone and allows the wearer to distinguish
daytime hours from night time hours.

LOCAL TIME
MORTEAU, FRANCE 10:10
REFERENCE TIME
NEW YORK, US 04:10

POSITION C LOCAL TIME SETTING
When travelling, to adjust local time only (without affecting the hour hand reference time display),
unscrew the crown and then pull it out to the first notch (POSITION C). Put the bezel in the neutral
position (align the triangle on the bezel with the 12 o’clock marker on the dial).
Set the local time using the 24-hour hand against the graduations on the bezel and the minute hand
against the graduations on the dial by turning the crown anti-clockwise.
Push in and then screw down the crown.

POSITION C RAPID DATE SETTING
If your YEMA watch is equipped with a date, to adjust the date, unscrew the crown and pull it out to
the first notch. Then simply turn it anti-clockwise until the desired date appears in the window. During
this operation, your watch will keep running.
IMPORTANT: Do not make date adjustments when the time on the watch reads between the hours
of 9:00pm and 3:00am. The reason is that although a date makes its changeover close to midnight,
the gears that make that change happen to engage quite a bit earlier. It takes extra time to disengage
completely in the aftermath.

BEZEL-LOCK MECHANISM
As an extra safety measure, YEMA developed a
proprietary bezel-lock mechanism in the 1960s, which is
still used nowadays and brings a unique look to the
Superman Collection.

BEZEL
FUNCTION

LOCAL TIME
MORTEAU, FRANCE 10:10
THIRD TIME ZONE
TOKYO, JAPAN 18:10
REFERENCE TIME
NEW YORK, US 04:10

BEZEL THIRD TIME ZONE
A third time zone can be displayed by using the rotatable bezel and the 24-hour hand. It is based on the reference
time.
To display the third time zone, turn the bezel clockwise for a negative time difference or anticlockwise for a positive
time difference according to the time difference between the local time (24-hour hand) and the time in the desired
time zone.
The 24-hour hand read against the bezel indicates the time in the third time zone. The minutes are shown on the
dial by the minute hand.

MAINTENANCE
OF YOUR YEMA WATCH

A YEMA watch requires little maintenance. However, some precautions must be
taken to ensure the durability of your YEMA:
• Ensure that the crown is perfectly screwed down after winding up the movement and/or setting the
time and the date. Once the crown is fully screwed down against the case, your YEMA watch is
guaranteed waterproof.
• Avoid activities that may expose your watch movement to shocks.
• Never use chemicals to clean your YEMA watch. Use a microfibre cloth and wash the metal, rubber,
fabric bracelets and waterproof cases from time to time with a soft brush and soapy water. We
recommend that you do not use abrasive or corrosive products (solvents, detergents, perfume, etc.).
• Always rinse your watch with fresh water after it’s been exposed to salt water.
