YemaThe Yema Spationaute ISS, reference L5 006 6, is a wristwatch featuring an analog-digital display and a navigation bezel. It is associated with the 1998 Pégase space mission.
The watch includes a dark blue dial with luminescent hour markers, central analog hands, and a digital LCD window at the 6 o'clock position. The external rotating bezel is graduated with compass directions and degree markings. The timepiece is powered by a Seiko quartz movement and offers water resistance up to 100 meters. The steel case is paired with a mesh metal bracelet. The design reflects an aesthetic of late 20th-century aerospace instrumentation, combining various functional scales and a dual-display interface.

Design
- Visible features
- • Rotating navigation bezel with cardinal directions • Integrated LCD window at the 6 o'clock position • Mesh bracelet with pin buckle • Dark blue dial with luminescent markers
- Case and Bracelet
- The case is manufactured from steel and features a lug construction designed for a mesh metal bracelet. The bezel, surrounding the crystal, is clearly graduated for navigational orientation, integrating compass points with numerical degree scales. The watch is presented on a steel mesh strap, secured with a pin buckle.
- Dial and Functionality
- The watch utilizes a dual-display system to provide both analog and digital information. The dark blue dial contains luminescent hour markers and a secondary yellow-toned inner ring. Central hour, minute, and second hands provide traditional timekeeping, while an LCD screen positioned at the 6 o'clock index handles digital readouts. The assembly is framed by a bidirectional rotating bezel featuring 360-degree markings and four primary cardinal directions, intended for navigational use. The inclusion of multiple scales and functional indicators is intended to provide a technical appearance. The dial utilizes a color palette of blue, white, yellow, and red accents. The combination of analog hands and the digital module at the base of the dial characterizes this specific model, which is linked by the source to the Pégase mission.
