The Yema Navygraf Super Compressor is a compact, time-only diver-style watch with an internal timing bezel, a compressor-style case-back mechanism and a published 300m water-resistance rating. The blue Marine Nationale Bleu model is reference YNAV24SC-GMS; the black version is YNAV24SC-AMS. The specifications below are manufacturer or reviewer-reported, while the wrist impressions come from Lex Stolk’s December 16, 2024 Fratello review—not an independent test for WatchRanker.

What the 38.5mm Navygraf Super Compressor is

This is the time-only Navygraf Super Compressor, not the separate Navygraf Marine Nationale GMT. The GMT is a different model with a GMT function and separately reported specifications, including a 12mm thickness; those details do not apply to this watch. Yema’s official product page identifies the blue reference YNAV24SC-GMS. Fratello’s review also names the black reference YNAV24SC-AMS.

The design’s defining feature is an internal, bidirectional timing bezel, operated from the crown rather than an external rotating bezel. Fratello describes a compression spring in the case back as part of the Super Compressor construction. That explains the design, but does not establish how the watch performs under pressure.

Published dimensions and movement

Fratello reports the following specifications for the 38.5mm model. These are published figures, not measurements made for this article.

Fratello reports that Yema states an adjustment of ±10 seconds per day before and after assembly. This is a stated adjustment figure, not an independently recorded accuracy result or a guarantee of how a particular watch will keep time on the wrist.

Blue or black: the two reported versions

The source-supported distinction is dial color: Marine Nationale Bleu in blue (YNAV24SC-GMS) and black (YNAV24SC-AMS). Stolk preferred the blue dial in his review, a personal styling preference rather than a claim that one version is objectively better. Choose by the look you want; the available evidence does not establish a performance difference between the two.

What the review says about wearing it

Stolk describes the Milanese bracelet as supple and says it feels good once on the wrist, but is awkward to adjust and open. That is one reviewer’s experience, not a universal fit verdict. The reported 19mm width is useful if considering another strap, but check the specific strap’s width and hardware compatibility before buying.

Water resistance and what it does—and does not—tell you

Fratello reports a 300m water-resistance rating. This is a published rating, not evidence that this example was independently pressure-tested or used for diving. It should not be read as a report of hands-on water testing.

Price and availability

Fratello quoted €990 / US$990 in its December 16, 2024 review. That is a dated price, not a current offer. Yema’s product page has shown a sale-price snapshot, but prices and availability can change by variant and region; confirm the live listing and terms directly with the seller before purchasing.
