The Yema Wristmaster Traveller. Not many made and it already morphed into the Urban Traveller with different specs. I do love wearing this watch, however, there is a fundamental design flaw. The butterfly clasp opens very easily. The wings on the clasp…

1 for a duro, 1 for an islander, and 1 for my beloved citizenpromster diver.

straight end link for Oyster
