Best Watch Winder for Yema | Tempus
Founded in Besançon, France in 1948, Yema's Superman dive watch became a French icon, worn by divers and adventurers. Now independent again, the brand leans into its heritage tool-watch roots.
If you own one — or several — keeping them on a watch winder means they are always wound, accurate and ready to wear. But Yema movements have their own preferences for turns per day and winding direction, and matching them matters.

What to Look for in a Winder for Yema
A winder with programmable TPD and all three winding directions covers every Yema reference in the table. If you rotate several pieces, a multi-watch unit keeps the whole rotation ready.
Beyond the numbers, the fundamentals still apply: whisper-quiet operation so the winder can live in a bedroom, a secure holder that grips without marking the bracelet, and a rotation pattern that suits daily wear. Every Tempus winder is built around these, with programmable TPD, three winding directions and a 3-year warranty as standard.
Three Tempus Winders for Yema Owners

- Tempus 9 Biometric (£1,796) — a dependable everyday choice.
- Tempus 9 Touch Screen Pro (£1,271) — programmable TPD with quiet operation.
Why Yema Owners Bother With a Winder
A Yema with a date complication needs resetting every time it stops — a small chore that grates when repeated daily. A winder eliminates it: the watch never stops, so it is always accurate and ready. For collectors rotating several pieces, that convenience compounds across the whole box.
Single vs Multi-Watch for Yema
One Yema worn daily and a second in reserve? A single or double winder does the job. But collections grow — and a 4- or 6-watch unit means one power supply, one footprint, and every watch ticking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Yema watches need a watch winder?
No automatic watch needs a winder — but without one, your Yema will run down after a couple of days off the wrist, and you will be resetting the time and date. A winder keeps it ready to grab and go.
What happens if the TPD setting is wrong?
Nothing dramatic. Modern automatics have a slipping mainspring that prevents overwinding, so an incorrect setting cannot damage the movement — the watch simply may not stay fully wound. Use the table above as your starting point.
Can Tempus winders handle Yema's winding direction?
Yes. Tempus winders offer clockwise, counter-clockwise and bidirectional modes, covering every Yema reference listed here.
What warranty do Tempus winders carry?
Every Tempus watch winder includes a 3-year warranty. Tempus can also repair any Tempus-brand winder even after the warranty period has ended.
For model-specific settings, see our TPD settings guide.
What TPD setting does a Yema Yema Superman need?
The Yema Yema Superman needs 650 TPD, bidirectional. Set your Tempus winder to match and it will stay perfectly wound and ready to wear.
Do Yema watches need a watch winder?
No automatic watch strictly needs a winder, but without one your Yema will run down after a day or two off the wrist — meaning resetting the time and date. A winder keeps it ready to grab and go.
Can I wind multiple Yema models together?
Often, yes — many Yema references share the same TPD and direction, so they can share a multi-watch winder. Check the table above, and our TPD database for your exact references.
Will a winder damage my Yema watch?
No. Modern automatic movements have a slipping mainspring that prevents overwinding, so a quality winder cannot damage your Yema. Tempus winders use quiet Japanese and German motors and carry a 3-year warranty.
What's the best Tempus winder for Yema?
For one or two watches, a single or double Tempus winder is ideal. For a growing collection, a 4, 6 or 8-watch unit with independent rotor settings covers every Yema reference — and any other brands you own.
