Description from the seller

Yema – Vintage Cushion Case Day-Date Watch – Manual Wind – Swiss Made – 1960s/1970s

A very attractive vintage Yema manual-wind wristwatch featuring a distinctive cushion-shaped stainless steel case and a clean silver-tone dial with applied hour markers. This piece represents classic French watchmaking design from the late 1960s to early 1970s, combining robust construction with an elegant yet sporty aesthetic.

The watch is fitted with a mechanical hand-wound movement and a bilingual day-date display, offering both practicality and vintage charm. Visually, the watch is in excellent condition for its age, with sharp case lines and a well-preserved dial.
