Yema Wristmaster Traveller Owner Review : Different, distinguished and versatile

"Sport-chic" watches with integrated bracelets are all the rage, and Yema released its first version in 2021: the Wristmaster Traveller. At first glance, the codes are respected: a small octagonal case (39mm), a 3-hand dial with date, and an integrated bracelet, all in steel. However, upon closer inspection of the watch, we notice all the details and singularities added by Yema. The first positive point that stands out is this bezel with its 6 "notches" glued to the dial, a rarely observed feature, as well as a beautiful vertical brushed effect. A second positive point lies in the watch's careful finishes, with an alternation of brushed and polished. Above all, we can appreciate a beautiful "chamfer" on almost the entire watch, whether on the bezel, the upper and lower case, and which even extends onto the links of the bracelet. (I hope my photos will do it justice.) The dial, lacquered black, is decorated with Superman-style hands, as well as "old radium" indexes, bringing a touch of "vintage" that is also fashionable. Also noteworthy is a beautiful luminova, a black date background that is not lacquered but still black. On the other hand, I am not a big fan of the white seconds hand, a little too "simple". The watch is equipped with the YEMA2000 caliber (+/- 10 s/day and a power reserve of 42 hours). Everyone will have their own opinion on the "in-house" Yema calibers; personally, I like the idea of offering something other than Miyota or Sellita, and I have not encountered any problems with mine. In conclusion, I would say that it is a very good dailywatch that adapts to all situations. I always enjoy wearing it when I take it out of its box.
