The Adventure NEVEREST collection is a line that represents NORQAIN’s ambitious drive, passion for new challenges and never-resting spirit. These timepieces are stylish and rugged. With the brand’s partnership with the Butterfly Help Project, ten per cent of the earnings from the sales of Adventure NEVEREST watches help families of sherpas who have lost their lives in the Himalayan mountains and give their children access to education.
The 40mm automatic-winding Adventure NEVEREST Glacier has a captivating silvery look – from the steel brushed and satined case, to the grey bezel and dial. Red accents like the zero marker on the grey bezel ring, the central seconds hand and the “Chronometer” inscription stand out against the cracked white dial. The cracks resemble the jagged crevasses of Khumbu Icefall, the most dangerous stage of the climb to Everest’s summit. The markers and hour, minute and seconds hands are coated in X1 Superluminova, which is 60% stronger than the standard Superluminova. The “Glacier” is water resistant to 200 metres and is equipped with NORQAIN’s Manufacture Calibre NN20/1, which is visible through the sapphire glass caseback.
