A quality package from Norqain.
Norqain,a fresh young brand surprised me with the Adventure Neverest model...and convinced me so much that I took the watch home.
Norqain does not advertise this model as a diver but more as an "outdoor activities" watch.
It has however all of the characteristics of a diver : 200m WR, ceramic unidirectional dive bezel, crown protection ,....
The watch comes with near perfect proportions : 40mm diameter,12,6 mm height and lug-to-lug of +-48mm.

Add to this a very ergonomic case shape and you have all the ingreedients of a very comfortable watch on the wrist.
A real plus and differentiator is the use of a Kenissi movement (used also in the Tudor BB's) with chronometer certificate and long 70 hrs power reserve.

I can certify that the watch is very accurate at around 2 sec plus per day.
Who says that only Grand Seiko makes superb dials? This one is supposedly inspired by the crevasses of a glacier.

Marketing words aside,this is to me a beautiful dial with great attention to detail.
The overall quality of the case and bracelet is what convinced me most: certainly at the level of my Omega's ...for significantly less money.

And finally a wrist shot on my 17cm wrist.
Also to mention that Norqain supports with 10% of the sales price a foundation to help school education for the children of the sherpas in the Himalaya region.
Best,

Full agreement. I almost bought a chrono last year
And have had eyes on this brand. You made a beautiful selection and I wish you the best with it!
Nice, I just saw this in a small
catalog I received from Borshiems in Omaha, one of Warren Buffett's companies.
Very cool, the dial really does resemble a glacier
I also like how they support a charity. It’s a bit sad knowing the amount of money involved with certain expeditions but how little makes it to the Sherpas
I have some interest in this brand as well...
I have not tried it in real life but so far the read up has intrigued me. The same movement as tudor is intriguing as well. The brand has recently opened a point of sales in Singapore so it is helpful. Will check it out! My hesitation was because it is an...
