CMM.20 Calibre Manufacture Morteau 20

After over 2 years of development and several thousand deliveries, our Manufacture micro-rotor calibre is now in continuous production within our workshops in Morteau. The internalization of manufacturing and a sharp increase in production enable us to offer a highly performant and unique caliber at an extremely competitive price.

Completely redesigned 30-bar steel case

This new 39mm 316L stainless steel case stands out with its perfect proportions and the brushed finishes in stark contrast with the polished chamfers. The original YEMA Navygraf steel case has been slimmed down by almost 3mm to achieve just 9.5mm in thickness and accommodate our CMM.20 micro-rotor calibre. This new steel case preserves a 30 BAR water resistance thanks to a higher-quality sapphire exhibition case-back and an improved screw-down crown.

“MANUFACTURE FRANÇAISE” black lacquered dial

This new dial now proudly displays all mentions in French and the MANUFACTURE FRANÇAISE signature at 6 o’clock to reflect YEMA‘s internalization of manufacturing and the local production of components. The black lacquered dial is produced by carefully coating the dial with layer after layer of lacquer, letting each coat dry in between. The result is an elegant pure black polished glow in perfect harmony with the dazzling black shine of the sapphire bezel. In addition, the deep black dial accentuates the play of light and magnifies the reflections of the two convex sides of the double-dome sapphire crystal.

New faceted steel hands & applied markers

The raised steel indices in polished finish elegantly match the polished facetted hour and minute steel hands, creating a beautiful metal reflection against the pure black dial under certain angles. The iconic Navygraf sweep second hand preserves its distinct intense yellow colour along with the Navygraf mention on the dial. All hands are treated with Grade A Super-LumiNova.

Sapphire bezel & grade A Super-LumiNova

The rotating bezel stands out both for its elegant minimalist design and its quality of finish. It is entirely made of sapphire and is in perfect harmony with the enamel lacquered dial and the brushed finish of the case. This redesigned bezel features a unidirectional rotation, a 0-60 simplified scale, and a luminescent marker at 12 o’clock treated in Grade A Super-LumiNova, which constitute essential features for professional diving watches.

000/200 Limited Edition sapphire exhibition case-back

Luxury watches can inspire for a variety of reasons. It’s not only the design and the style of the timepiece but also the technical aspects of a fine timepiece that can really blow watch enthusiasts away. The sapphire exhibition case-back is an elegant feature for those who enjoy taking a look at the inner workings of their mechanical timepieces, in this case, it allows wearers to catch a glimpse into the inner intricacies of the Manufacture micro-rotor calibre CMM.20, a rare calibre worthy of showcasing.

Each case-back is engraved with a unique serial number, also displayed on the 5-year warranty card, and the corresponding Limited Edition number out of a total of 200 timepieces.

More resistant double-dome sapphire crystal

The Navygraf Slim features a 2.00 mm shock-resistant and scratch-resistant double-dome sapphire crystal. Its curved shape gives it a very unique, resolutely vintage look, while offering better readability thanks to its two convex sides as well as increased water resistance up to 30 BAR.

Vintage-grained leather strap

This grained calfskin leather strap in black colour reinforces the elegant neo-vintage aspect of YEMA‘s time pieces and enhances comfort. This is a tapered strap i.e. it’s wider at the lugs and narrower at the ends of the straps. Tapered straps produce a sleeker and more refined finish by adding a touch of finesse, and make for a more comfortable experience on the wrist.
