A few better pictures of the Yema Navygraf Slim.

 

A very good and interesting watch from Yema.

Part of a 200 pcs limited edition,this watch refers to the classical Navygraf watches from the 70ies.

Multiple layers of lacquer make for a deep black shiny dial.

The bezel is made from sapphire and the case is a well done mix of brushed and polished surfaces.
The case has a height of only 9.5 mm (plus 2mm for the double domed sapphire) which is remarkable for the 300 m WR.

The stand-out feature is the manufacture movement with micro-rotor and a 70 hrs. of power reserve.
From experience I can say that the winding efficiency is surprisingly good for a micro-rotor movement!
Accuracy is also good although the movement is somewhat sensitive to the crown position during the overnight rest  : I have an average minus 2 sec/day performance with "movement up" night position.

Overall quite attractive with the anthracite coating.
Detail finish is clean but industrial as can be expected for the price point.
This movement is definitely a welcome departure from the usual ETA/Sellita movements for similar priced watches.

Thanks for looking,
