MARINE NATIONALE PARACHUTE STRAP​

DESIGNED BY THE MILITARY​

This iconic strap was originally handmade by French Marine Nationale combat divers in the 1970’s. The resourceful frogmen fashioned straps from used parachutes by recovering the elastic webbing to sew them back on and adapt them to their diver watches. For years, this type of strap has remained purely military, nowadays it’s a great alternative to NATO straps.

My new favorite, but come on Yema! - Navygraf Marine Nationale GMT Review

I'm a fan of Yema's watches, and this one is my favorite from them so far. Unfortunately they're developing a reputation of having quality control issues, and this watch had a problem when I bought it. In this review I'll talk about my experience getting the issue resolved, and why I still love this watch.

Nice all around. I like it. I have a couple YEMA's and would not mind another. I have considered one of the older variations in the past and this one takes it.

YEMA Navygraf FSM Bronze (Official watch of Marine Nationale's French Submarine Forces)​

STRATEGIC OCEANIC FORCE (FOST) 50TH ANNIVERSARY​

Created on March 1st, 1972 the Strategic Oceanic Force (FOST) is the key naval component of Marine Nationale's Submarine Forces, made up of 4,000 sailors, military and civilians, who operate 4 ballistic missile nuclear submarines (SNLE), 6 nuclear attack submarines (SNA) and units providing their command and support.

SUBMARINE FORCES DIAL​

The bronze case hue is found as well in the dial's Navygraf mention, the indexes and watch hands while the black dial is reminiscent of FOST's nuclear submarines' hulls.

The FORCES SOUS-MARINES curved mention at 6 o'clock and the indexes in the shape of "exclamation points" are inspired by the 1970s Navygraf vintage model. Finally, the fine red tip of the seconds hand brings a touch of colour that is both elegant and functional.

DESIGNED BY AND FOR NAVY SUBMARINE CREW​

Beyond its striking aesthetics, the Navygraf FSM Bronze is above all a military-grade tool watch designed in collaboration with Marine Nationale Submarine Forces built to military personnel specifications and strict requirements.

OVERSIZED DOUBLE-DOMED SAPPHIRE CYSTAL​

The Navygraf FSM Bronze has a 3.00mm thick double-domed sapphire crystal, offering better readability, increased resistance and a resolutely vintage look.

38.5MM BRONZE CASE​

The bronze case, an alloy that develops a patina over time, echoes various key mechanical elements used in submarines such as the flush blocks allowing submarines to rise to the surface, the fast flush control that ensures the safety of the submarine and the filling and emptying sections of the weapon launcher tubes.

The bronze case boasts different finishes with vertical brushing, polished bevelled lugs and a circular brushed bezel. With a diameter of 38.5mm and a contained thickness of 11.3mm (14.1mm with the double-domed sapphire crystal), the Navygraf FSM Bronze offers ideal dimensions for neo-vintage watches amateurs.

SUPER-LUMINOVA​

The hands, dial and bezel markers are treated with Swiss Super-LumiNova® C1 so as to offer perfect readability in low light conditions.

YEMA TROPIC STRAP​

Inspired by the 1960s Tropic straps and designed for diving enthusiasts, the YEMA Tropic strap is made from Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). This rubber-like material is ultra-resistant, flexible and comfortable to wear. Perfectly waterproof, the YEMA Tropic strap is easy to maintain and is ideal for everyday usage and underwater activities.

The resourceful frogmen fashioned straps from used parachutes by recovering the elastic webbing to sew them back on and adapt them to their diver watches. For years, this type of strap has remained purely military, nowadays it’s a great alternative to NATO straps.

bracelet-mn-noir-boucle-bronze-1661838979151.png


SINGLE PASS​

The unique single pass design offers the security of a regular NATO strap but wears slimmer on the wrist as only one layer of elastic goes under the watch head.

FITS ANY WRIST SIZE​

The adjustable ladder buckle design enables to easily adjust the length of the strap individually, guaranteeing a perfect fit on wrists from 6” to 9” (15cm to 23cm).

OFFICIAL BUCKLE​

Engraved with Marine Nationale’s official logo and made in brushed bronze, the buckle is slim but strong enough to stand up to wear and tear.

ALL-SEASON COMFORT​

Crafted from military-grade elastic parachute webbing for extreme comfort and moisture regulation, these straps make for a quality, slimmer alternative to a NATO design.
