From Blue And Green To Snow Camo: Yema’s New Wristmaster Slim Small Seconds

French independent watchmaker Yema continues to strengthen its manufacture-focused portfolio with the Wristmaster Slim Small Seconds CMM.29. Building on the Wristmaster collection introduced in 2024, this new reference integrates a small seconds complication into the brand’s angular, integrated-bracelet sports watch architecture, while also introducing new dial finishes and a distinctive limited edition known as the Snow Camo.

Rather than dramatically altering the design language, Yema refines the concept through proportion, finishing, and mechanical development—resulting in a slim, contemporary sports watch with clear technical credentials.

Slim Proportions and Integrated Design

The Wristmaster Slim Small Seconds retains the sharp case geometry and integrated bracelet that define the collection. The case measures 39 mm in diameter and stands just 9 mm thick, dimensions that give the watch a balanced presence on the wrist without feeling oversized. The notably slim profile enhances comfort and makes it particularly versatile, allowing it to transition easily from everyday office wear to more formal settings where it can slip neatly beneath a shirt cuff.

The integrated bracelet continues the angular lines of the case, creating a cohesive silhouette that emphasizes the modern sports-luxury character of the model.

A Reworked Dial with Small Seconds Display

To accommodate the small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock, Yema redesigned the dial layout with careful attention to symmetry and legibility. The hour marker at 9 o’clock has been removed entirely to make space for the subdial, while the markers at 8 and 10 o’clock have been slightly reduced in size to maintain visual balance. At 12 o’clock, the previously used Arabic numeral has been replaced with a double baton marker, helping the dial feel cleaner and less crowded despite the added complication.

The two core collection models are offered in blue and green, both featuring a subtle vertical brushed finish. This texture adds depth and dynamism to the dial surface, interacting attractively with light while maintaining a refined, contemporary look.

The Snow Camo Limited Edition

Alongside the standard models, Yema introduces a 100-piece limited edition known as the Snow Camo. Structurally identical to the core versions, this edition stands out through its elaborate surface treatment. Nearly every visible surface of the case and bracelet has been laser-finished to create nuanced variations in grey and silver tones, producing a camouflage-like pattern. Only the polished bevels of the case and bezel remain smooth, providing contrast and highlighting the watch’s angular construction.

The same laser finishing extends to the dial, reinforcing the cohesive aesthetic. The resulting appearance evokes icy, arctic-inspired tones, giving the Snow Camo edition a distinctive personality within the collection.

Manufacture Calibre CMM.29

Powering the Wristmaster Slim Small Seconds is the Manufacture Morteau Calibre CMM.29, an evolution of Yema’s ultra-slim micro-rotor platform. This automatic movement enables the watch to maintain its impressive 9mm thickness while delivering robust technical performance. It offers a power reserve of 70 hours and operates within an accuracy range of -3 to +7 seconds per day.

The movement is visible through a sapphire caseback, and finishing differs depending on the version. The core blue and green models feature radial Geneva waves, while the Snow Camo edition receives a frosted finish that echoes the textured exterior treatment.

Pricing and Positioning

The Wristmaster Slim Small Seconds in blue or green joins the permanent collection at a price of € 2,249, while the Snow Camo limited edition of 100 pieces is priced at € 2,399. Within the competitive integrated-bracelet sports watch segment, the combination of slim proportions, in-house micro-rotor movement, and distinctive finishing positions the CMM.29-powered Wristmaster as a strong offering from Yema’s growing manufacture lineup.

With this release, Yema further demonstrates its evolution into a fully-fledged independent manufacture, pairing technical substance with contemporary design execution.

Final Thoughts

The arrival of the small seconds complication in Yema’s integrated-bracelet sports watch feels like a natural and well-judged evolution—one that mirrors a broader trend seen across the industry. More importantly, the integration of the brand’s in-house micro-rotor movement, allowing for a notably slim case profile, confirms a coherent strategy that Yema has been consistently applying across several of its collections.

The two permanent models, offered with green and blue dials, stand out for their versatility. Their balanced aesthetics and restrained finishing make them suitable for daily wear, whether in professional or casual settings.

By contrast, the limited Snow Camo edition embraces a far more assertive personality. With its full “polar” camouflage treatment extending across the case, bracelet, and dial, it leans decisively toward a sportier and more stealth-oriented character. That stronger identity arguably makes it less versatile than its siblings—but, in our view, that is precisely its greatest appeal.

For just €150 more than the standard models, the Snow Camo offers not only a distinctive aesthetic but also the exclusivity of a 100-piece limited run. For collectors who value individuality within a contemporary integrated sports watch, this edition may well be the most compelling choice in the lineup.
