Yema Yachtingraf
One of the iconic Yema sports watches of the sixties was the Yachtingraf. A watch especcially designed to time the start of regatta boat races
The main characteristic of the Yachtingraf is of course the 'Big Eye' register in white, red and blue. As there are two type of regatta boat races (15 minutes countdown and 10 minutes countdown) Yema succeeded in combinong the two in just one register and one minute hand.
Registered patent.
In 1967 Yema registered this regatta timer patent in Switzerland and in the United States.
The patent was filed for a watch for Yachting and underwater use. The count down diver bezel was an important part of the watch.
