WARRANTY3 year manufacturer's warranty MANUFACTURER'S DESCRIPTION OF WATCHInspired by the emblematic 1960's YEMA Wristmaster timepieces, this unique model is equipped with the first ultra-thin micro-rotor French Manufacture caliber, which can be admired through a sapphire crystal exhibition case. Designed as a luxury sports watch with integrated steel bracelet and water resistant to 100m thanks to a threaded screw-down crown, the Traveller Micro-Rotor Limited Edition is a rare and elegant high-end watchmaking timepiece at a fair price that works both on formal occasions as well as everyday wear. The unique micro-rotor self-winding system and the impressive finishes are normally found in $15k+ timepieces, therefore backers are safe in the knowledge that they are investing in an excellent luxurious watch at a fair price fully designed and manufactured in France by YEMA, a long-established family-run independent watchmaker. This collector’s edition limited to 1,948 timepieces. The Traveller Micro-Rotor case measuring 39mm in diameter, features an asymmetrical octagonal flange married to a round bezel. The steel and satin case features dozens of facets finished with great attention to design, with brushed surfaces enlightened by polished bevels all around. The integrated stainless steel bracelet, with brushed flat surfaces and polished bevels on the sides, is closed by a triple folding clasp. The continuous pattern of vertical brushed surfaces and polished angles naturally extends all the way from the top of the bezel, to the case and further into the integrated steel bracelet, creating the appearance of seamless integration. Powered by a micro-rotor in-house caliber with 70 hours of power reserve, the entire watch measures just 9.20mm in thickness. Thanks to its smart architecture resulting in an ultra-thin 3.70mm thickness, the micro-rotor automatic caliber is thinner than two US nickels (or two Euro coins) stacked on top of one another. The asymmetrical octagon shape steel case thickness has seen a substantial decrease from 12mm to 9.20mm Vs. the original Traveller model, which creates a more elegant symmetry to the naked eye with a 43.50mm lug-to-lug and 39mm case, offering perfect proportions for each wrist size. We have used the complex case geometry to our advantage by executing every single angle with the same set of alternating brushed-polished finishes, that captures the eye and gives great elegance and singularity to the case while preserving the marked sporting spirit. The bezel is inspired by a YEMA Sous-Marine model from the 1980’s and is made from a single piece of stainless steel, yet it has three distinct finishes, with the top and bottom bevels featuring an elegant vertical brushing and an entirely polished transition where the bezel’s horizontal and vertical surfaces meet. The dial’s slightly curved embossing and subtle grading from light to dark revealed when exposed to full light, create a powerful yet refined aesthetic that perfectly complements the sheen of the bezel and case metal. The applied hour markers with matching steel hands, both treated with a luminescent coating, and the absence of a date complication are fundamental design elements that reinforce the luxurious minimalism and sporting elegance aspect of this unique timepiece. The slightly raised sapphire crystal offers better readability, enhanced resistance and a resolute vintage look. Premium watches like the Wristmaster Traveller Micro-Rotor privilege sapphire crystal which is extremely hard (Moh’s scale 9 – Diamond is 10), and will resist scratching by most substances short of diamonds. The hands and hour markers are treated with Swiss Super-LumiNova BGW9 Grade A so as to offer perfect readability in low light conditions. A micro-rotor is a smaller or more compact version of the usual rotor or oscillating mass that winds automatic timepieces. Unlike the central rotor, it is integrated into the movement, which allows watchmakers drastically reduce the thickness of the caliber and fully display the beauty of the movement through an exhibition case. The continuous pattern of vertical brushed surfaces and polished angles naturally extends all the way from the top of the bezel, to the case and further into the integrated steel bracelet, creating the appearance of seamless integration. The gently tapered links on the integrated bracelet (24mm to 20mm) continue the effect, vertical brushed surfaces continue meeting polished angles all the way to the butterfly clasp. The 39 mm case diameter and 43.5 mm lug-to-lug width wear a bit larger than you would expect because of the fixed end-links increase the effective lug-to-lug width to almost 45 mm. The proportions are pleasant and the watch wears comfortably and ergonomically on the wrist with its impressive, innovative design that certainly turns heads. This timepiece perfectly fits wrist sizes from 6.3 inches / 16 cm up to 8 inches / 20 cm. Designed & manufactured by YEMA in its Morteau (France) workshops, Automatic mechanical, 3.70mm thick, 33 Jewels, Glucydur balance wheel, 28,800 A/h (4 Hz), 70h power reserve, 190 micro-components, Micro-rotor oscillating weight in Tungsten alloy, Adjusted to 4 positions, Lift angle 51.0, ⌀ 32.20mm / 14.2 lignes, Satin-brushing and polished micro-blasting finish with Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) decoration in 3 distinct colours, 3 years International Warranty Instead of the traditional "guilloche pattern" decoration, we opted for a minimalist, uniform high-quality coating to accentuate the innovative aspect of this Manufacture micro-rotor caliber, resulting in a uniform and elegant look & feel. The exceptional satin-brushing and polished microblasting treatment of mainplate and bridges is finished in three distinct colours through latest ALD (or Atomic Layer Deposition) technology by Swiss nanometric decorative coating specialist Positive Coating, supplier of Swiss premium brands. This revolutionary gaseous deposition process ensures a uniform coating with a precision of around one nanometre, preserving therefore the surface's satin-brushed decoration and the angles' polished finish. Mechanical watch movements are some of the most fascinating and complex machines on earth, they are made up of an intricate series of springs and gears that turn energy into precisely regulated movements.This allows the watch to run with exceptional efficiency, and accurately keep track of the passage of time. YEMA's Caliber Manufacture Morteau 20 is made up of 190 micro-components individually crafted by our own engineers in our Morteau workshops. For many horologists, the movement is far more than just the engine of the watch, there is an elegance and a beauty to the inner workings of a well-crafted timepiece, making it closer to a work of art than just another accessory. YEMA DEPLOYANT CLASP The deployant clasp in 316L stainless steel adds style and comfort. YEMA’s logo and the wording "MAISON HORLOGÈRE FRANÇAISE DEPUIS 1948'' are meticulously engraved on the clasp.
