Yaara – ice blue/silver

All steel, all cool tones. The ice blue Yaara on a silver link bracelet is the most monochrome watch MeisterSinger makes, and the version where the shape of the case does the talking.

Yaara is the women's line, softer and more jewelry-like than the rest of the catalogue, with a case that runs seamlessly into its integrated bracelet. The dial is sunburst, the two-digit numerals are applied rather than printed, and the five-minute divisions are deliberately quietened so the face reads clean. One hand shows the hour and your position within it; there is no date and no seconds hand, which is exactly the brand's argument.

The case measures 36 mm in stainless steel at roughly 9 mm thick, with a closed caseback and 5 bar water resistance, on a silver-toned steel bracelet. Inside sits a Sellita SW300 automatic, the slimmer calibre in its family, good for 42 hours.

Understated to the point of near-invisibility on the wrist until someone looks twice and notices there is only one hand.

Perfect for: ice blue dial watch buyers, all-steel bracelet watch shoppers, minimalist watch collectors.
