THE RETURN OF MOBY DICK
In 2019, the first Superman Bronze in history was released with the aim of supporting an oceanographic mission studying a family of 30 sperm whales from the Indian Ocean over several years.
After hundreds of dives, scientists have deciphered the kinship links of this family and established a family tree spanning 4 generations. This large family is unique, each member is an individual with a character of its own. As with humans, each individual develops their own personality. These ultrasensitive and delicate wild mammals have their own language and demonstrate great intelligence, kindness and solidarity with each other.
Following the success of this scientific mission, an evolution of the iconic Superman Bronze model equipped with the very latest Manufacture CMM.10 caliber, was designed in collaboration with François Sarano, famous French oceanographer and founder of the NGO Longitude 181. This marine protection association pursues this sperm whales scientific mission, now in Mediterranean waters.
FRANÇOIS SARANO
OCEANOGRAPHER
FOUNDER OF LONGITUDE 181
François Sarano is a professional diver and doctor in oceanography. Former expedition leader and scientific advisor to Commander Cousteau (around 20 expeditions aboard the Calypso), in 2002 he founded the NGO Longitude 181 whose objective is protecting marine wildlife and ocean’s ecosystems. François is co-director of dozens of television documentaries devoted to marine wildlife and author of numerous books including “The return of Moby Dick, what sperm whales teach us about the oceans and men” by Éditions Actes Sud (2018 Prize Jacques Lacroix from French Academy).
ENHANCED BRONZE CASE
& DOUBLE DOME SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL
Designed for diving professionals, this new bronze case is available in 39mm and 41mm, it distinguishes by its high-quality brushed/polished finishes which preserve a unique neo- vintage appearance. Depending on its use and exposure to weather conditions, bronze will patina differently and make each watch unique and authentic.
This collectible timepiece is equipped with a high-quality double-domed sapphire crystal measuring 2.20 mm in height, offering better readability, increased resistance and a decidedly neo-vintage look.
UPGRADED DIALS
“MANUFACTURE FRANÇAISE”
Available in gradient blue and lacquered black dials, the iconic Superman Bronze dials now proudly display French mentions and the new MANUFACTURE FRANÇAISE signature at 6 o'clock to reflect YEMA's new positioning following the internalization of the manufacturing of components for the CMM.10 caliber.
The classic Superman hands have been slightly refined, and the iconic “shovel” second hand has been replaced by a lollipop sweep hand to provide an enhanced overall balance.
This collectible timepiece is equipped with a high-quality double-domed sapphire crystal measuring 2.20 mm in height, offering better readability, increased resistance and a decidedly neo-vintage look.
PROFESSIONAL DIVE WATCH BEZEL
& GRADE A SUPER-LUMINOVA
The rotating bezel stands out both for its complex design and for its quality of finish. It is entirely made of bronze, its circular brushed finish elegantly contrasts with the case vertical brushed finish. This newly manufactured bezel features unidirectional rotation, a 0-60 count up graduation and a luminescent marker at 12 o'clock treated in Grade A Super-LumiNova (same as the hands and markers), essential features for professional divers.
30 BAR SAPPHIRE DISPLAY CASE BACK
LIMITED EDITION 1948
The exhibition case back sapphire crystal reveals our new CMM.10 Manufacture caliber while securing a 30 BAR (300m/990 feet) water resistance.
Each case back is engraved with a unique serial number and Limited Edition number.
TROPIC FKM VITON® RUBBER
INTEGRATED BRACELET
Specially designed for the Superman Bronze CMM.10, this Tropic integrated bracelet made in RUBBER FKM VITON® has been designed for intensive use in all extreme conditions thanks to its light, flexible, dust repellant and very resistant VITON® material. The bracelet is equipped with an elegant, high-quality buckle in IP bronze.

MODERN ARCHITECTURE
The CMM.10 offers a modern take on traditional 3-hands calibers. The construction of the transversal bridge over the balance wheel provides stability, a circular cut-out in the mainplate elegantly frames the balance wheel, permitting views of the regulating organ. The mainplate symmetrical architecture ensures a perfect and elegant vertical alignment of the balance wheel and large barrel.
Moreover, the CMM.10 features a central bridge design that combines the barrel bridge, center wheel bridge and winding stem cock into a large single bridge that forms the central pillar of the movement. This structure reduces the number of bridges and reinforces the main plate by making it possible to contain most of the gear train within the structure, the movement overall enjoys significantly better strength, durability and shock resistance.
BALANCE WHEEL
TRANSVERSAL BRIDGE
The elegant and modern architecture of the balance wheel transversal bridge, with its two fixing points, guarantees high positioning precision. This double bridge helps ensure the stability, shock resistance and precision of the balance wheel whatever the intensity of the activities carried out.
HIGH SHOCK RESISTANCE
The ultra-precise geometry of the Incabloc® double-cone shock absorbers transform uncontrolled shocks of all magnitudes and coming from any direction into movements rigorously directed perpendicular to the balance axis, thus ensuring incomparable robustness to the CMM.10 regulator mechanism.

GLUCYDUR BALANCE WHEEL
HIGH ACCURACY
The balance wheel is made of Glucydur, a non-magnetic metal alloy with low thermal expansion that provides greater resistance to deformation, corrosion, and magnetic fields. Glucydur is the optimal alloy for the balance wheel which requires stability. The Nivarox® hairspring has high resistance to temperature changes and contributes to the continuous precision of the regulating organ.
70 HOURS OF POWER RESERVE THANKS TO A LARGE BARREL
The CMM.10 caliber has a single large barrel manufactured by Générale Ressorts, optimized to ensure a power reserve of 70 hours while preserving a high frequency of 28,800A/h (4Hz). The Nivaflex® barrel spring alloys combine excellent mechanical properties with excellent corrosion resistance, non-magnetic behavior and a very low coefficient of thermal expansion.

The Nivaflex® barrel spring alloys combine excellent mechanical properties with excellent corrosion resistance, non-magnetic behavior and a very low coefficient of thermal expansion.
OPTIMIZED ESCAPEMENT
Interface between the gear train and the regulating organ, the escapement is the place where energy and chronometry intersect in a complex interaction. The escapement is an energy-demanding system, it alone consumes more than half of the barrels’ energy. It is the friction of the anchor pallets on the anchor which, despite their lubrication, dissipates a good part of this energy. The CMM.10 escapement presents notable improvements which reduce this friction thanks to a sophisticated manufacturing process. This advanced escapement ensures optimization of the entire mechanics, precision, and longevity of the caliber components.
SMOOTH AUTOMATIC WINDING MECHANISM
The bidirectional oscillating weight allows the mechanism to be automatically wound using the kinetic energy produced by the wearer's movements. Whatever the direction of rotation of the oscillating weight, it operates by charging the large spring barrel which, once fully wound, offers 70 hours of autonomy. The oscillating weight is mounted on optimized ball bearings that are very resistant to wear and minimize friction, rotate smoothly and silently. Engraved with the words CALIBRE MANUFACTURE MORTEAU 10 and decorated in a “gunmetal” finish in contrast with the galvanized black bridges, the design of the oscillating weight reinforces the innovative and contemporary aesthetic of the caliber.
