Yema Rallygraf: Neo-Vintage Motorsport Chronographs
Rallygraf: The chronograph that lets you “feel” the speed
Rallygraf is the Yema collection designed for those who want a motorsport chronograph with a neo-vintage character: dashboard-inspired looks, sharp contrasts, and immediate readability. The promise is simple: fun on your wrist and real-world practicality, every day.
Meca-quartz movement: why it changes the experience
Yema's catalog features both in-house calibers and Swiss movements, but Rallygraf chooses the Seiko VK meca-quartz for a specific reason: it combines quartz reliability with a mechanical chronograph module. The result: "crisper" pushers, a smoother chronograph hand, and none of the maintenance anxiety typical of automatic chronographs.
Track-inspired details, designed for daily use
-
High-contrast dials, often in panda or reverse panda style, for always-legible timekeeping.
-
Tachymeter scale for estimating speed, moved to the inner bezel on some versions for a cleaner dial.
- Compact cases, such as the 39 mm variants, and water resistance up to 10 bar on selected models.
Whether you choose the Alpine Cup Series, Classic, or Mark II, Rallygraf maintains the same soul: 1960s heritage, immediate racing identity, and a chronograph ready to follow you without any complications.
Yema Rallygraf FAQs
What is a meca-quartz movement?
It is a quartz movement with a mechanical chronograph module: the watch remains precise and reliable, while the chronograph offers a feel closer to a mechanical one.
Does the chronograph hand sweep or “tick”?
When you activate the chronograph, the central hand moves with a smoother feel than many standard quartz watches, thanks to the mechanical module of the meca-quartz system.
What is the water resistance of Rallygraf watches?
It depends on the version. Some models reach 10 bar, equivalent to 100 meters. Always check the product specification for the exact value.
How is the tachymeter scale used?
Start the chronograph over a 1 km or 1-mile stretch, stop it at the end, and read the value on the scale: it indicates the average speed over that distance.
Is Rallygraf suitable as a first YEMA?
Yes. It offers iconic motorsport style and a chronograph that is easy to live with, with lower maintenance costs compared to an automatic chronograph.
