A new depth of elegance: Introducing the Yema dive watch with a luminous Mother-of-Pearl bezel

Yema

In a reinvention which can only be described as genius, French watchmaker Yema has released the Navygraf Pearl, a luxury timepiece that artfully combines its rugged diving legacy with breathtaking opulence. The return has sent shockwaves through the industry for the most serious collectors, who revere Yema for its attention to fine form and intricate details. This latest iteration of the brand’s iconic Navygraf model dares to adorn a professional tool watch with a shimmering mother-of-pearl dial and, in a bold industry first, a matching nacre bezel inlay.

The timepiece presents a dazzling fusion of robustness and iridescent beauty

While deeply entrenched in the Navygraf’s 1970s military DNA, the Pearl edition is a vision of contemporary elegance. Its 39mm stainless steel case, with a remarkably slim 9.5mm profile, offers a refined canvas for the true star of this presentation: an aqua blue or Tahitian mother-of-pearl bezel and dial. This dazzling display creates an ever-shifting play of light and color, while the signature Superman handset and luminous indices guarantee its tool watch legibility remains unphased. With so many bells and whistles offered in this latest edition, watch aficionados will be hard-pressed to find any component of this timepiece to lament about.

Horological brilliance delivered by an in-house micro-rotor movement

The Yema Navygraf Pearl is a triumphant statement, honoring a legacy of French naval exploration while fearlessly embracing a future of elegant, versatile luxury. The end result makes it a compelling selection for the serious collector who values both heritage and breathtaking innovation.

Breitling’s new Miles Davis watch is also a preview of its upcoming social club
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Long before influencer partnerships existed, Miles Davis was doing unpaid brand work for Breitling just by wearing his Navitimer on stage. The watchmaker is finally returning the favor with a 500-piece tribute marking the jazz legend’s centennial.

Davis famously wore a Breitling Navitimer ref. 806 Mk5 throughout the 1960s, and this new release is built to recreate the specifics of that exact watch rather than just gesture at the era.

Zenith’s most famous chronograph line just lost its chronograph
Wristwatch, Dial, Time

Can you even call something a Chronomaster if it doesn’t have a chronograph?! Zenith thinks so — the Swiss manufacturer’s new Chronomaster Solo Sport has, for the first time in the collection’s history, absolutely no chronograph function anywhere on it.

The Chronomaster line has existed to showcase El Primero, the automatic chronograph movement Zenith launched in 1969. Its famous for its 5 Hz (36,000 vibrations per hour) high-frequency beat and its ability to time down to a tenth of a second. Every Chronomaster before this one basically built its entire identity around that stopwatch function.

Girard-Perregaux packs five features into one new $95,600 tourbillon
Watch, Face, Hands

Girard-Perregaux just introduced the Laureato Fifty Tourbillon Micro-Rotor 39mm, and it is the most complicated version of the Laureato Fifty released so far. The watch runs on a new in-house caliber, the GP8410, an automatic tourbillon built around a platinum and pink gold micro-rotor shaped like the brand’s signature arrow motif.

The 39mm steel case measures just 10mm thick, which is pretty darn slim for a watch carrying this level of complication. It comes in two dial options: a translucent blue Grand Feu enamel dial on a white gold base, or an 18K solid gold dial in a rose tone, both finished with the brand’s “Clous de Paris” hobnail pattern.
