Yaara – ice blue/gold

Ice blue is a difficult color to get right. Too pale and it disappears; too saturated and it stops looking icy. This Yaara holds it at the right point, then warms it with a gold-toned bracelet, which is a combination MeisterSinger uses sparingly.

The Yaara is the brand's women's line and the only design outside its integrated-bracelet sports family to flow directly from case into bracelet with no visible break. Its sunburst dials carry applied two-digit numerals, unusual in a range that mostly prints them, and the five-minute markings are toned back so the face stays uncluttered. One hand, no date.

Here the ice blue sunburst dial sits in a 36 mm stainless steel case around 9 mm thick, on a two-tone silver and gold link bracelet, with a closed caseback and 5 bar water resistance. A Sellita SW300 automatic runs the single hand and holds 42 hours of reserve.

Cool dial, warm metal: it is the version to choose when a watch has to sit alongside gold jewelry without matching it exactly.

Perfect for: ice blue dial watch shoppers, buyers pairing a watch with gold jewelry, women's automatic watch gift buyers.
