Yema Wristmaster Adventurer Blue - NEARLY NEW

This watch is classed as “Nearly New”, which means that it is either a customer return or a former photo sample. As such it could have very minor signs of wear and may not be supplied with the original box. However, it has still been checked to ensure that it is running perfectly, and it has a 6 month warranty.

The Yema Wristmaster Adventurer is an almost exact reissue of one of the brand’s classic 1960s models. With its 37mm steel cushion case, the Wristmaster Adventurer oozes with classic vintage charm. The crystal is a domed hesalite, just like on the original, which only serves to enhance the watch’s authentic retro feel.

With 100m water resistance, and Super-LumiNova BGW9 applied to the dial and hands, the Wristmaster Adventurer is a capable watch that makes for a great everyday wearer. If you’re after a versatile watch with an authentic vintage feel, then this is the one for you.

The Wristmaster Adventurer is powered by the YEMA2000 in house movement. With 42 hours of power reserve, 28,800 vph, 29 jewels and a maximum variation of -/+ 25 s/d it really does give movements like the ETA 2824-2 a run for its money.

Why This Watch?

• With a case measuring 37x48mm and 12mm thick, the Wristmaster Adventurer is a great smaller watch that will still have a good presence on the wrist.
• It’s rare to find a watch with an in-house movement at this low a price point.
• The Wristmaster Adventurer is an almost exact vintage reissue, right down to the font used for the “Wristmaster” logo.

About The Brand

French brand Yema has been making watches since 1948, when it was founded by Henry Louis Belmont and would go on to be the top French exporter of watches in 1966-68.

The brand has produced many reliable models over the decades, such as the Yachtingraf & Rallygraf, but the most famous of which is the Superman. Introduced in 1963, with its iconic bezel lock and 300m water resistance, the Yema Superman was chosen to equip French Air Force pilots. Yema have continued this military history today, with partnerships with both the French Air Force and Marine Nationale.

In 2009 Yema launched their first in-house calibre, making it one of the few brands to offer watches with an in-house movement for less than £1,000. Today the brand is on its second generation of movements, with the three hand YEMA2000 and the GMT YEMA3000.
