Stepping up in Norqain's range

Price range £1,850 to £5,500 across 25 Norqain watches in stock.

Released on International Women's Day 2022, this 37mm Adventure Sport was built around a dial colour that rarely appears in sports watches at all: a deep royal purple, stamped with Norqain's textured house pattern so it shifts between flat and dimensional depending on the angle of the light. The 44mm lug-to-lug keeps the watch proportioned for smaller wrists without shrinking the overall presence — it reads as a proper sport watch, just one that actually fits. The NN08 inside is Norqain's dressed version of the Sellita SW200-1, a movement chosen for how easily it can be serviced rather than for spectacle, and the exhibition caseback means you can see it running. On the left flank, a modular plate accepts a personal engraving — a detail that sits quietly until you know to look for it, and then seems exactly right for a watch released to mark the occasion it was.

Your new watch

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch

Can I swim with it?

Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.

Will the glass scratch?

Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.

Does it need a battery?

No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.

How long does it run for when it's not worn?

About 41 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.

Will it fit my wrist?

Lug-to-lug is 44mm, which suits wrists from roughly 15cm (6 inches) upward.

Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as women's, though at 37mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
