Watch Description

The new Rallygraf Meca-Quartz is in the pure design tradition of YEMA chronographs with sub-registers reminiscent of vintage race car dashboards. The date, time and chronograph functions are powered by Seiko's VK64 hybrid caliber. The checkered flags on the dial are the Rallygraf's signature emblem since the 1960's.


The design of the hour and minute sub-registers are inspired by vintage race car dashboards.


Designed for motorsports and speed, the Rallygraf's tachymetric scale bezel allows you to calculate your average speed over a given distance. Aluminum bezel in mat finish for a retro look.


The case-back features YEMA's historic coat of arms, stamped with a hydraulic press in polished & brushed finish.


The Rallygraf's steel mesh bracelet is made in Milanese mesh for more flexibility and finesse. The clasp is engraved with YEMA's historic logo and adjusts quickly and very easily.

# Yema Rallygraf Review by A.I. WatchMetrics

## Watch Summary
The Yema Rallygraf is a sporty chronograph watch inspired by vintage rally racing aesthetics, featuring a 39mm stainless steel case with a panda dial, tachymeter bezel, and meca-quartz movement for precise timing, targeting enthusiasts of affordable motorsport-themed timepieces who appreciate its retro design, reliable Seiko VK64 hybrid movement, and a battery life that effectively serves as its power reserve.

## Overall Watch Rating: 5.4/10.0

**Brand Metric (5.2/10.0)** - Yema earns a solid mid-tier score for its French heritage and reliable offerings, comparable to brands like Hamilton in accessibility and quality.
**History & Innovation Metric (5.5/10.0)** - The Rallygraf draws on Yema's motorsport history with innovative meca-quartz tech, akin to Seiko's hybrid movements in blending mechanical feel with quartz accuracy.
**Rarity Metric (2.8/10.0)** - As a widely available model with no limited production, its rarity is low, similar to everyday sport watches from Citizen.
**Material Metric (6.0/10.0)** - Stainless steel case with sapphire crystal provides good durability, on par with entry-level luxury like Oris for everyday wear.
**Movement Metric (4.5/10.0)** - The Seiko VK64 meca-quartz offers smooth chronograph sweeping but lacks full mechanical sophistication, benchmarking against basic quartz chronos from Timex.
**Complications Metric (4.0/10.0)** - Basic chronograph functions are present without advanced features, similar to straightforward timers in Casio models.
**Functions Metric (5.8/10.0)** - It includes time, date, and chronograph with 60-minute counter, providing practical utility like a Tag Heuer Carrera at a budget level.
**Dials & Design Metric (6.2/10.0)** - The panda dial and racing-inspired layout offer appealing retro style, comparable to vintage-inspired designs from Tissot.
**Versatility Metric (6.5/10.0)** - Suitable for casual and sporty occasions with its 100m water resistance, versatile like a Seiko 5 Sports for daily use.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 3.2

## WM Collector Grade: C-

## Performance Insights: Strengths in versatility and design are offset by lower rarity and movement scores, suggesting fair value around its $350 price but implying it could command about $280 based on metrics.

## TPS Interpretation: Below Average Value: The watch offers basic functionality and style but underperforms relative to its price in innovation and exclusivity.
