For several years, Yema has been asserting a true return to its roots while simultaneously pursuing ambitious technical advancements. The recent releases of the Superman Dato CMM.10 and the Skindiver CMM.20 perfectly illustrate this. Combining design, mechanical innovations, and respect for heritage, these two new collections demonstrate a deliberate move upmarket. Let's take a closer look at these models, which could very well allow Yema to reach a new level.
Superman Dato CMM.10: the logical and surprising evolution of the Yema manufacture caliber
Equipped with the in-house CMM.10.11 caliber , the new Yema Superman Dato stands out with the addition of a date window at 6 o'clock . This feature has been eagerly awaited by many watch enthusiasts, for whom the date display is an essential daily criterion. It also retains the key advantages of the CMM.10, namely a 70-hour power reserve and precision (-3/+5 seconds per day).
But Yema didn't simply add a complication. This Dato version is part of a comprehensive technical overhaul , aiming to modernize while respecting the DNA of the Superman. Numerous modifications have been made to redefine this iconic model from the French watchmaker.
New default bezel locking system
The bezel is now equipped with an integrated locking mechanism . A light press is all it takes to rotate it: an added safety feature against unintentional movement. As soon as the bezel is released, the lock automatically reactivates. A practical, secure, and perfectly integrated system.
Removal of the crown guard
In keeping with this technical evolution, the crown guard has been removed , giving the watch a cleaner silhouette. This choice reflects the design consistency between the Superman Dato CMM.10 and the Superman Skindiver CMM.20 .
Added micro-adjustment to the clasp
The buckle now features micro-adjustment . A highly appreciated and much-anticipated feature for Yema fans.

Work on proportions: horns and antler spacing revised
Always with a view to aesthetic consistency and wrist comfort , the lugs have been shortened . The lug-to-lug distance is now 47 mm . The lug width is reduced to 20 mm , allowing for greater versatility with different straps and a more harmonious integration.
Balance between slimness and water resistance
The addition of the new bezel-blocking mechanism slightly increases the watch's thickness. To maintain its slim profile, water resistance is now set at 200 meters (compared to 300 meters on the Superman CMM.10), allowing the overall thickness to be limited to 11.85 mm . For comparison, the Superman CMM.10 is 11.30 mm thick.
Another adjustment: the diameter has been increased to 39.5 mm (from 39 mm). This slight change is offset by improvements to the lugs and thickness, ensuring optimal comfort and better visual balance . The 41 mm diameter remains unchanged.
Dial and bezel modifications: harmony and legibility
The addition of the date at 6 o'clock is not insignificant: Yema has redesigned the entire front face to preserve symmetry and readability.
-
Subtly integrated tone-on-tone date window .
-
Circled index fingers , for added depth.
-
The triangle of the spectacle is also rimmed , ensuring a clearer visual reference point.
-
Ceramic lenses , more resistant and more readable thanks to their controlled reflections.
Superman Skindiver CMM.20: color and technique!
The three new Yema Skindiver CMM.20 models unveiled this spring 2025 perfectly embody the French brand's new technical direction . This launch , as surprising as it was anticipated, should appeal to many enthusiasts, particularly thanks to its bold dials in cream , burgundy , and deep black .
New default bezel locking system
Like the Superman Dato CMM.10 , these new Skindiver CMM.20 models now incorporate the redesigned bezel locking system . This is a major step forward for the safety and precision of the rotating bezel, confirming the technical standardization across the range.
Balance between slimness and water resistance
The bezel-locking mechanism slightly increases the case thickness, bringing the Skindiver to 11.5 mm (compared to 10 mm for the 2024 version). Thanks to the CMM.20 micro-rotor caliber , Yema manages to maintain a professional water resistance of 300 meters without sacrificing comfort or the balanced design.
Micro-adjustment integrated into the clasp
As with the Superman Dato, the micro-adjustment system on the bracelet makes its appearance. It offers precise and instant adjustment, becoming an expected standard in future Yema collections , both practical and premium.
New finish for the CMM.20 caliber
The in-house movement, visible on the back of the watch, now has a sunburst finish. A pleasing detail that adds aesthetic complexity, further justifying the choice of a transparent case back.
The new Superman Dato CMM.10 and Skindiver CMM.20 mark a true evolution for Yema . Far more than mere aesthetic innovations, they demonstrate an ambitious technical dynamic driven by a desire for profound modernization.
In 2025, Yema fully affirms its industrial mastery with in-house developed manufacture movements (CMM.10 and CMM.20), an ergonomic redesign of its cases, functional advances such as the redesigned bezel locking system or micro-adjustment bracelets, while remaining faithful to its French watchmaking heritage .
This move upmarket is accompanied by meticulous attention to detail , a commitment to local production in Morteau , and a clear response to the expectations of fine engineering enthusiasts. Design, precision, comfort, consistency: everything has been rethought, nothing left to chance.
Come and discover these models at Pause, a watch shop located at 23 rue de la Trini té, in Toulouse.
The Superman Dato CMM.10 will be available in June at the store, but are already available for pre-order on our website.
As for the Skindiver CMM.20 , they will arrive at the end of April .
