SpotlightCold And Dark: The New Norqain Neverest Glacier Watches Present Contrasting Appeal

Swiss watchmaker Norqain have made a name for themselves by creating top-quality sports watches designed for the outdoors. Their latest releases, the Adventure Neverest Glacier series watches in black or blue dials, further solidify this reputation. These timepieces combine rugged durability with stylish design, making them perfect companions for any exploration.

The Norqain Adventure Neverest GMT Glacier 41mm

First up is the Adventure Neverest GMT Glacier 41mm, a sleek yet sporty GMT watch. This model features a jumping hour and a second time zone, ideal for the globetrotter. The watch boasts a 41mm stainless-steel case with a black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, ensuring both strength and a modern look.

Designed to be taken on an adventure, the timepiece comes in a sturdy 41mm stainless steel case with a black dial showcasing a unique cracked motif inspired by the crevasses of Mount Everest

A standout feature is the 24-hour, bi-directional rotating bezel with a ceramic insert, adding to its versatility and robustness. The black dial, inspired by the crevasses of Mount Everest, showcases a unique cracked motif. This striking design is complemented by 5N red gold-plated hands and indexes, with a distinctive diamond-cut flat GMT hand, tipped in red for easy time zone tracking.

Powering this impressive timepiece is the Norqain Manufacture Calibre NN20/2, developed in collaboration with Kenissi. It offers a second time zone with a jumping hour function, COSC certification for accuracy, and an impressive 70-hour power reserve. Notably, the movement’s bridge is customised with Norqain’s core values: ‘Adventure – Freedom – Independence’, and features a personalised Norqain oscillating weight.

The Norqain Adventure Neverest Glacier 40mm

Next is the limited-edition Adventure Neverest Glacier 40mm, with only 300 pieces available. This model exudes a serene yet active aesthetic. It features a practical 40mm 316L stainless-steel case and offers water resistance of up to 200m, making it suitable for both casual wear and underwater adventures.

The 316L stainless-steel bezel with a blue ceramic ring beautifully complements the icy blue glacier dial, which also features a cracked motif inspired by Everest’s crevasses. The dial is adorned with white Super-LumiNova filled diamond-cut, faceted blue indexes, and matching blue diamond-cut faceted hour and minute hands. The blue diamond-cut flat central second hand is tipped in red, adding a touch of contrast.

This watch is driven by the Norqain Manufacture Calibre NN20/1, also by Kenissi. Like its counterpart, it boasts a COSC certification and a 70-hour power reserve. Both models offer the choice of a steel bracelet or a rubber strap, ensuring versatility in style and comfort.

A Worthy Cause

As if the exquisite design and performance weren’t enough, there’s an additional reason to consider these watches: philanthropy. Norqain donates 10 percent of the proceeds from every sale to the Butterfly Help Project. This initiative, led by Andrea Sherpa-Zimmermann and Norbu Sherpa, supports Nepalese children whose parents, often sherpas, have lost their lives in the Himalayas. By purchasing a Neverest Glacier watch, you’re not only investing in a high-quality timepiece but also contributing to a meaningful cause.
