Stepping up in Norqain's range

Price range £2,150 to £9,700 across 36 Norqain watches in stock.

Norqain launched as a brand only in 2018, and the Adventure line has been its clearest statement of what it is trying to do: produce properly specified mechanical watches at a size that has largely been abandoned by the rest of the Swiss industry. At 37mm, this sits where a classical sports watch once lived before the market drifted toward 40mm and beyond, and it will suit wrists that most contemporary tool watches simply overwhelm. The N08 calibre is a Sellita SW200-1 underneath, which is a sensible and robust choice — well-supported, accurately regulated in this application, and a movement owners do not need to worry about. The grey textured dial reads calmly in most light, the rubber strap keeps the whole thing practical, and 100m of water resistance covers everything short of serious diving.

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.

Water resistance explained

Will the glass scratch?

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

Sapphire, mineral and acrylic compared

Does it need a battery?

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

Quartz, automatic and solar compared

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

Listed as unisex, and at this size it suits any wrist that takes the dimensions.
