The YEMA Rallygraf A470 is a 2023 limited-edition chronograph watch inspired by Alpine’s A470 endurance prototype. They are two different things: the Rallygraf A470 is worn on the wrist; the Alpine A470 is the LMP2 race car that inspired it. YEMA Japan announced the 470-watch edition in connection with Alpine Endurance Team.
What is the YEMA Rallygraf A470?
It is a Rallygraf chronograph created around the look and story of Alpine’s A470 race car. YEMA Japan’s product page describes the watch as inspired by the prototype and says the YEMA × Alpine Endurance Team collection was worn by drivers, mechanics and staff at circuits including Le Mans, Spa-Francorchamps and Monza. YEMA does not name individual wearers on that page, so the claim is best understood as the brand’s description of the collection rather than a verified list of specific people.
The launch was announced on 17 August 2023 as a 470-piece limited edition. YEMA Japan’s release gave a 39 mm case, ETA Valjoux 7753 movement, suggested retail price of ¥365,000 and three-year warranty, with shipment planned for October 2023. Those are launch-era details, not a current price or delivery promise. YEMA Japan’s 17 August 2023 launch announcement
What are the watch’s specifications?
YEMA Japan’s product page lists the following specifications for the A470. Its detailed product-page figures should be distinguished from the shorter launch-release summary.

How is it connected to the 24 Hours of Le Mans?
The connection is through Alpine’s A470 prototype and the team association around the watch—not because the watch itself races. The 24 Hours of Le Mans organizer reported that Alpine presented the A470 on 28 March 2017 for its 2017 World Endurance Championship and Le Mans campaign. The report says the car used an Oreca chassis. That was the race car’s original program, six years before YEMA’s 2023 watch announcement. 24 Hours of Le Mans report on Alpine’s 2017 car and driver line-ups

Alpine returned the A470 to WEC LMP2 competition with two cars for the 2023 season, a year associated with the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. That later campaign provides context for the watch’s launch, but it should not be confused with the prototype’s 2017 introduction. Alpine’s 2023 A470 and crew announcement

Is it the same as YEMA’s Alpine Cup Series Rallygraf?
No. YEMA also presents a separate Rallygraf Alpine Cup Series Limited Edition on its official site. Its product page identifies a manual Sellita SW510 movement and a 100-piece edition; those details do not belong to the Rallygraf A470.

What is YEMA’s current Alpine connection?

That is current Alpine Cup context; it does not establish that YEMA remains a timekeeping or sponsorship partner for Alpine’s Le Mans program or that the A470 watch is currently sold.
