YEMA has unveiled the new Flygraf Pilot French Air Force, an officially licensed pilot’s watch created in partnership with the French Air Force. The 38.5mm stainless steel case measures just 8.9mm thick with a 19mm lug width and features an IP gunmetal camouflage finish achieved through a dual ion-plating process. Rather than being painted, the camouflage pattern is integrated into the metal during vacuum deposition for added depth and durability. A 2.0mm domed K1 mineral crystal, matching IP-finished crown, and embossed YEMA signature complete the military-inspired exterior.

The finely grained grey dial is designed with cockpit legibility in mind. Matte black applied Arabic numerals, outlined in white and filled with Super-LumiNova BGW9, are paired with a contrasting white minute track and matching luminous hands. A white central seconds hand with a red tip adds a functional accent, while the official French Air Force swallow emblem appears above 6 o’clock in its blue, white, and red colours. In low light, all twelve numerals and the handset emit a blue glow for enhanced visibility.
Turning the watch over reveals a circular-brushed and sandblasted 316L stainless steel case back embossed with the insignia of the French Air Force. Completing the package is a black woven Cordura-style nylon strap embroidered with the French tricolour roundel used on military aircraft. The strap is secured by a stainless steel pin buckle featuring brushed and polished finishing along with an engraved YEMA signature
The watch retails for $530 USD (approx. $745 CAD) . Visit the brand website for more details.
