Rallygraf Alpine Cup Series
As the Official Timekeeper of the Alpine Elf Cup Series championship, YEMA proudly designed special chronographs in tribute to Alpine’s legendary racing spirit. These exclusive editions are equipped with the reliable Seiko VK64 mecha-quartz caliber and a distinctive internal tachymeter chapter ring, while the one-of-a-kind Rally steel bracelet completes the design with a bold aesthetic evoking the raw elegance of vintage motorsport.
This new generation Rallygraf 39mm steel case drops the tachymeter bezel, reducing thickness, as cases become 0.8mm thinner. Without the raised external bezel, the case profile becomes cleaner and more streamlined, creating a sense of continuity between the crystal and the mid-case, resulting in a slimmer, more refined silhouette, while the focus shifts toward the dial and crystal, enhancing the overall elegance and presence on the wrist.
The crown and chronograph pushers have also been completely redesigned compared to previous Rallygraf models, bringing a distinctive new character to this model. The 316L stainless steel case features a refined mix of fine-brushed surfaces and highly polished accents, creating a dynamic play of light that highlights its elegant contours.
VINTAGE INSPIRED BI-COMPAX DIAL
The instantly recognisable design of the chronograph's hour and minute sub-registers inspires by vintage race car dashboards, a design popular among watch enthusiasts and collectors. The sub-registers stand out in stark contrast to the main dial colour.
This timeless design not only enhances legibility, allowing each counter to be read at a glance, but also adds visual depth and sporty elegance. The date is balanced off at 6 o'clock position in tandem with the Alpine Elf Cup Series logo on the top to accentuate its racing theme. Spot the Alpine blue tip on the central second hand which points clearly to the bezel marked with the tachymeter scale.
TACHYMETER CHAPTER RING
By replacing the traditional external tachymeter bezel with an inner chapter ring, the dial opening becomes significantly larger, giving the Rallygraf a more expansive and immersive look. This design not only enhances legibility but also gives the Rallygraf a more refined presence, drawing immediate attention to the dial’s details and layout.
SIGNATURE CASEBACK
The caseback proudly displays the iconic car logo, meticulously stamped using a high-pressure hydraulic press to achieve depth and definition. This emblem is then finished with a refined combination of polished and brushed surfaces, creating a striking contrast that enhances its presence.
RALLY STEEL BRACELET
Specially conceived for the Rallygraf Alpine Elf Cup Series, the YEMA Rally steel bracelet stands out with its distinctive perforated design, inspired by vintage motorsport racing gloves. Crafted entirely from stainless steel in brushed finish, it blends sporty character and neo-vintage charm, perfectly complementing the chronograph’s racing DNA. The bracelet gently tapers toward the clasp for enhanced comfort and a more elegant wrist presence, while its integrated steel folding clasp has a safety catch for a secure and comfortable fit when wearing.
MECHANICAL-QUARTZ CALIBER
The time functions of Seiko's VK64 hybrid movement are powered by a quartz caliber while the chronograph's function is controlled by a mechanical module which results in a smooth sweeping second-hand movement.
