YEMA Rallygraf II

Description

In the early 1970’s YEMA introduced the Meangraf, a racing-inspired chronograph collection with a distinct look and a unique, somewhat quirky bezel design. Powered by a Seiko VK64 Mechanical-Quartz movement, the new Rallygraf II Mechanical-Quartz features a contemporary design, a 40mm stainless steel case, double domed mineral crystal, date window, tachymetre bezel, 60-min chronograph and 24 hour indicator.

This new edition is a contemporary take on YEMA’s legendary motorsports chronograph worn by legends like Mario Andretti. It features a completely redesigned steel case, block pushers and a textured dial reminiscent of vintage race car dashboards. The date, time and chronograph functions are powered by Seiko’s VK64 hybrid caliber.
The fine-brushed and highly polished steel case preserves the 11mm thickness and the 47mm length of its predecessor but gains 1mm in diameter (40mm) while the lugs’ shape has been slightly redesigned, which results in a reinforced presence on the wrist. The crown features YEMA’s embossed logo and it’s offset by two chronograph’s block pushers, another distinct design element of this new edition. This iconic French chronograph retains its classic double dome K1 mineral crystal on top and a comfortable 100m water-resistance.

The time functions of the Rallygraf are powered by the Seiko VK64 hybrid movement, a quartz caliber with the chronograph’s function controlled by a mechanical module resulting in a smooth sweeping second-hand movement.

The Rallygraf’s steel mesh bracelet is made in Milanese mesh for more flexibility and finesse. The clasp is engraved with YEMA’s historic logo and adjusts quickly and very easily. Made by a French manufacture of our region, the grained, perforated leather Rallye-style strap has been specially designed in the Rallygraf’s matching colours.

The design of the sub-registers at 3 and 9 o’clock inspire from vintage car dashboards. The two checkered flags are the signature of the Rallygraf collection in honour of the Grand Prix races. Designed for motorsports and speed, the Rallygraf’s tachymetre scale bezel allows you to calculate your average speed over a given distance. Aluminum bezel in a retro matt finish.
