Yema Flygraf CPA10

Designed and developed in collaboration with the special forces of France’s most elite airborne commandos the Commando Parachutiste de l’Air No. 10 (CPA10) and inspired by Type A Flieger watches, the Flygraf CPA10 is a reinterpretation of the legendary military aviation timepiece.

Featuring an extremely lightweight and durable titanium case, this military model, paying tribute to the CPA10, is equipped for the first time with our Manufacture movement, the CMM.10.

The watch is available on yema.com on preorders with delivery September 2025.

40mm brushed grade 2 titanium case

The grade 2 titanium case offers several advantages, 40% lighter than steel, superior shock resistance, and natural corrosion protection. Its darker tone, combined with the brushed finish, enhances the watch’s matte, military look.

At 40mm diameter with a 46mm lug-to-lug measurement and under 10mm thick, the proportions work for any wrist size. It’s substantial enough to command respect, refined enough for any situation. It offers a generous dial opening and wearing comfort.

Flieger Type A dial, CPA10 custom edition

Legibility isn’t negotiable when precision matters. The ultra-legible Flieger Type A dial features the CPA10 logo subtly embedded in a tone-on-tone design. The Arabic numeral hour markers are printed in slight relief with a steel finish. The CPA10 logo is also applied at 6 o’clock.

The Flygraf Flieger CPA10 is equipped with a double-domed sapphire crystal, 2.00 mm thick, offering improved legibility, enhanced durability, and a distinctly vintage look.

The crown, engraved with the French Air Force logo, is deliberately oversized to allow military personnel to adjust the watch easily even while wearing gloves.

Custom CPA10 Super-Luminova Grade A

The 10 o’clock marker is coated with white Super-Luminova C1 Grade A as a direct nod to the CPA 10 while the other markers are also treated with Super-Luminova® BGW9 Grade A, but in a luminescent blue. This subtle contrast ensures perfect readability in the dark while enhancing the distinctive character of this special edition.

Sapphire caseback

The sapphire exhibition caseback offers a clear view of the intricate mechanics of the CMM.10 Manufacture caliber and all its intricate details.

The insignia of the 602e GIA (Air Infantry Group) is printed in white directly beneath the glass representing a meaningful tribute to one of the French Army’s earliest paratrooper units and a direct predecessor of the CPA10. It’s a tribute that connects past and present, honoring the lineage that created today’s elite commandos.

French Air Force canvas strap

Made by a French manufacturer from our region (Franche-Comté), the CPA10 canvas strap with white stitching was specially designed to match the colors of the Flygraf CPA10. It features a leather lining on the underside for added wearing comfort, along with the French Air Force logo.

Official watch of the French Air Force and the CPA10

As part of our partnership with the French Air Force, the CPA10’s mission was clear and direct. They sought a timepiece that would be designed in their unit colours and authentically represent their values of excellence and precision.

More than a hundred of engraved and personalized watches were created exclusively for the members of the CPA10, in addition to the model intended for the general public.
